Hey Anshul, that's a fair concern. And yes, just having an SSL connection doesn't make everything secure. We do take security seriously though - your cookies are encrypted and secure, and everything on IB is SQL-injection safe. We have other safeguards as well, which I naturally cannot outline. I'm not saying that we're 100% safe - nobody can say that without being arrogant. However, we will make sure that your information is as safe as possible.

As to the question on why we asked for it - as CyberKid mentioned, it is to do with wire transfers, and as far as possible, we need to use them. Sending out cheques simply adds too much overhead for everyone - online transfers are faster and have better accountability. Our experience with couriers in India have been quite sad so far, and we believe in eliminating middle men wherever possible. Rest assured, we will never, ever give out your personal information to anyone. Perhaps when we have more bandwidth, we can add more payment options!

Being a software engineer that S concern me the most. See placing a S doesn't make it secure. Following all guidelines with that S matters. So I am not sure if they followed all the guidelines. And moreover its my personal decision not to share my details with someone. IndiBlogger want to put ads and I want money. Its a simple deal and the whole process should be as smooth as possible. More options make it more smooth and eliminate my concerns.

You are using an HTTPS protocol. So, that should take care of some concerns about theft of data. More than that, asking for Bank Account details must have something to do with ECS. I think you should get in touch with the IndiBlogger Support.

I already shared the details to get access to the program and it seems there is no PPC ads yet

I too support you, why only just one option that too with so much perosnal details required . Where in India, Cheque option, A/C Payee would have done too..

I filled out the entire form and at the very end, I decided not to submit it. 

I think cheques are slower methods. And using them needs additional overhead. Given the option, I would always like using the ECS method of payment.
