TCS planning to restructure onsite Salary

TATA Consultancy Services is planning to restructure its onsite Salary Structure and it is most likely that higher grade employees will lose out their extra perks and benefits, though a total reduction in salary is not possible as per US Govt law the minimum wages should be 60,000 $ per annum.

The company is also trying to find ways to bring back of its onsite resources who have been spending way too long in financially lucrative locations, preventing any concept of rotation. There is thought in the lines of restricting promotions for employees who are in onsite for longer periods.

But it is learnt that this thought process is still in the early stages of conception and it may take few months before a solid decision is arrived.

Voice call option not available in yahoo messenger Indian version

This post answers how to enable voice option in Yahoo Messenger India version ?
How to enable voice calls in Indian Yahoo messenger ?

Well Yahoo has removed the voice support for Yahoo messenger in India, so the only option to enable it is to download the proper US version or most other country’s local version.

It appears that since Indian Govt has not allowed VOIP till now, Yahoo has removed the option, but if you use a US version messenger then the option is available and you can make the calls. But both the versions take same size of 14 MB.

You can download the US version here in the post below

Does it help in SEO if you host same content in two domains ?

This post answers the following questions

  • Does it help in SEO to host the same content in two domains?
  • Is it a good idea to host two copies of your site?
  • Can I use two domain names?

Well the answer is no, and absolutely not. If you host duplicate content the end result might send both your domains to bottom of the search results. This creates a duplicate content issue, so Google will think at least one of the site is copying or mirroring the content. And you will never get double the traffic. And your new domain will never see the top of the search rankings.

So if you are planning to migrate to a new domain, then set a permanent 301 redirect in the old domain for at least 3 months before retiring the old domain. If your audience come mainly through Search engines this should be fine, but if they come through other site links, then you might need to change those links or keep the old site’s redirect on.
