1. What is this website about?
         As the name suggests, this is a website for cataloging all Indian television commercials. However, we are not restricting ourselves to video format only. Our goal is to encompass all Indian advertising.
2. What value are you adding with this effort?
        Even though we used the word effort, this does not seem like work at all. By providing all the interesting and also the technical details of a certain commercial, our goal is to educate our visitors about those commercials and also stir those nostalgic emotions, if those clips happens to be retromercials.
3. What is the commercial value you are trying to achieve?
        We would like to be the go-to guys for companies who want to get a foot hold in Indian markets. Instead of paying millions of rupees for commercial production and then another huge chunk for running on national TV, we want to help them produce meaningful messages and also market the product to local markets.
4. There seem to be so many other websites who are following your format, how do plan on dealing with them?
       We dont plan on dealing with anyone. For any company to be successful, a healthy mix of competition is essential. Please come back and check because we are compiling a list of websites who are emulating our model.
5. Can I be a contributor for the website?
       Please, yes! We are looking for people who are passionate about advertisements and brand management. We are working on a standard minimum format to follow for making posts, but apart from that you got complete control of language (family friendly, please). Creative expression is what we to propagate.
6. Do you need technical help?
       Not at this time. Please invite your friends to this website. Word of mouth pays. Thank you :)
 7. Why am I seeing some posts where the videos are not playing.
       All the posts added to our site is taken from youtube database. We rely on youtube to worry about copy right issues. If youtube removed any video because of copy rights violation, then those links will be broken our sites too. There are plans of hosting the video files on our servers, but they will be added only upon getting written permission to host from the video producers.
8. A word about Sponsor and Support of this website:
Remember the good old days of television when at the start of each commercial break and announcer would say:
"And Now For A Few Words From Our Sponsors"
Then, as now, most of our television programs were paid for by revenue from advertisers.
The internet is a far more convenient medium than television for delivering entertainment and information. It's far less intrusive as well. Long gone are the days of advertisements interrupting your stream of thought. However, for the most part, content is still paid for by advertising.
At INDIATVADS you'll see ads above, beside, and below every post. These ads are chosen and displayed by Google based on the context of the page on INDIATVADS videos/text that you're watching or reading. Each time you click on one of these ads, somoene pays us a small amount of ad revenue. It's that ad revenue that we use to keep things up and running here.
So, if you see an ad that interests you, then by all means, support our sponsors and take a look! You may just find something that you can't live without, and you'll be helping to support Indiatvads as well.
