You guys @ Guruji are doing some good work I guess...but, I just want to mention that you have enough bugs also. For ex, with no value in the search box, the target page shows up 2 search boxes..which is ugly first and useless second.

Not to mention, the name of the search engine "guruji" feels to give no impact rather a little irritating. I also guess, you would change the design a little bit...esp. those colors are not upto the mark.

Use pleasant colors like bluish shades etc.

Hi,

This website really good! You people are doing great.
I want to know about the guruji search & win contest. My name has not been displayed in the top coupon holders list? May I know the reason? I want to know whether my account is valid or not?

Regards,
Malar

In today's contest:

There was this one question which said search for “songs of Bunty aur babli” and when I search with the string

“Songs Bunty aur Babli” I get this message saying search matched 4 strings with a sad smiley.

On the other hand when I queried for Bunty aur Babli it shows the answer to be correct!!!!

Isn't that some thing wrong.

Secondly the prizes section is a little misleading coz in the list of prizes Bajaj Pulsar 150CC is shown but on another page Pulsar 220CC is shown. I think this is a mistake unless you are planning to give away two Pulsar's

The concept of your site is very good. With India booming at such a fast pace we need a local search engine to answer many of our queries like travel, booking, shopping...the list goes on.

You guys spam the Internet really badly. That is not the hallmark of any site that is professionally run. Just see rediff for how many times you go on to discussion boards meant to discuss something specific, and spam them with comments about your contests. And I have received several mails from you about your contests, without ever giving you my email address in any way.

I am not going to participate in any contest of yours. And if I receive any other mail, I will complain about your site in all the relevant places.

I was searching for Chinese Resturant in Varanasi using your City Search, but it came up with resturant named Varanasi in Mumbai. Could you have a look whether ur city search is working properly or not.

[Malar]

Hi,

Want to know whether my account is there are not? If it is not valid don't allow the ids which are all rejected by your system to attend the contest. Because every day i m playing this contest. So that I can save my time.

Me and my friends are downloading Guruji Toolbar but still it doesn't increase our Guruji Toolbar Coupons count. Moreover, there is no way for us, to repeat the process, as no direct link is given in our log-in section. Plz look after this problem.

just a small request guys, i didnt signup to any contest or anything , neither did i give my email id. but i got a newsletter today asking me to unsubscribe if i want to. it isnt a good thing to ask me to do when i didnt subscribe to it in the first place. i did get some referral and i believe my email id has been added as a result of that. was there any mail confirming my subscription of newsletter ? no . Where is ur privacy policy ? And if you dont want to considered a spam please follow some online standards.
