CPC analysing and CPC analyzer

CPC analysing and CPC analyzer

1.What is CPC

CPC which is known as Cost Per Click and PPC which is the Pay Per Click are the most widely used terms in the online business now these days. These are generally not familiar to most of the Internet users. so here is a free tips to understand them.

PPC is an internet advertising technique used on the web pages.Here the advertiser posts the advertisement and when the visitor clicks on the advertisement, the publisher of that advertisement will get paid for the click. The advertiser generally put some bids on the keyword phrases which will be most relevant to the content of the publisher website.Usually this will be a
fixed price rather than dynamic bids.

CPC is the amount of the money the advertiser pays for the advertising company. A commission of this amount will given to the publisher.

There are lot of ways the publisher can put the ads on the site. But whenever the site traffic is more , then the chance of getting high paying Ads is more. The different CPC analyser programs are explained below

2.Different CPC Analyzer programs

* Google Adwords and Adsense

Google adwords and adsense are the famous cost per click programs ( also known as pay per click).The basic difference between the google AdWords and adsense are, the Google adWords are for advertisers and adsense are for publishers.
So here is the flow :
advertiser contact google for the advertising their ads for google's big advertising
network.Google put these ads on their search results ( as sponsored results ) and also in the large advertisement sites. When ever a visitor clicks on these ads, advertiser pays google for the click.this is what called adwords.

Now comes the adsense. its mainly for the publishers. any website owner who has a content rich website can apply for the google adsense. In some countries google put a restriction that the site should be active for six months before applying for the adsense account. So once the account is activated , google will put Ads on the publisher's website. google has custom javascript codes for showing the content based on the publisher's website content. So smart they are !! when the visitor clicks on these ads, then the advertiser pays google a particular charge and the publisher will get some commission of this amount.

Visit Google adwords and adsense from here :
http://adwords.google.com , http://adsense.google.com

* Yahoo publisher network

Yahoo also started theit publisher marketing program which is known as Yahoo publisher network.This also works as the same way as the google adsense works. they also have the technology to show the ads based on the content of the publisher web site.In addition to the contextually matching ads which yahoo provides , they are giving an extended option to select the ads based on the specified interest. so the webmasters can choose the ads based on their website visitors interest. Yahoo publisher network is not that popular as google adsense comparatively.

Visit Yahoo Publisher network from here : http://publisher.yahoo.com/

* Kontera

Kontera is another CPC program. They follows a different kind of Advertisement in the publisher website ( even though the basic definition is same). I mean, the basic flow is same as google adsense. the advertiser is paying for the click on the ads appearing on the publisher's site and publisher is getting the commission for this click.

The difference here is how they are displaying the ads in the publisher's website. They are using a different technique called "In -text advertising " . Its bit different from the techniques which yahoo and google are using. Yahoo and google will show the content in some boxes as links based on the content of the website. but in "In -text advertising" , they will convert the existing content words into links. They wont do it for all the words in the links, instead they will select the random ( or they will be having a different algorithm for selecting the words ) and make them as links. so when the visitor mouse over in this links, he can see the advertisement. Once he clicks on this advertisement, then he is redircted to the advertiser's website and the advertiser pay for that.Kontera is a nice choice for most of them who probably got disabled their adsense account.

3.How to analyze CPC

There are different tools available online for showing the high paying keywords and their CPC. Basically most of the tools query the search engine and find out the frequency of a keyword is used and the price value of that keyword. As i told earlier, the CPC is the amount in which the advertiser is paying to the advertising company, most of the CPC rates will be hidden. One of the main policy of the google adsense is that, they wont reveal the CPC rate of the ads they are showing in the publisher website.

Here are some useful links for some CPC analyzer tools and keyword analysing

Convert innerHTML to XHTML format using Javascript

2009-09-11T04:21:00.000-07:00

Convert innerHTML to XHTML
Hi Friends,
this is an XHTML reference and I use Javascript here to make a sample HTML XHTML converter. What I have tried is making a simple xhtml parser, and I achieved the results. This html to xhtml converter takes in the InnerHTML and reference to an XML object to generate an XML document in XHTML format.

It is done by using JavaScript.
Normally, when you do an innerHTML of a table or a div of an element in Javascript, the output is not in XHTML format…

For eg:

<Table id=Tbl5 contentEditable=true cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=1>

You can see that it is not in a pure XHTML format according to xhtml w3c.

If it to be in a pure XHTML format according to xhtml w3c standards,

It has to be

<TABLE id=”Tbl5” contentEditable=”true” cellSpacing=”1” cellPadding=”1”/>

It so happens that you will not be able to get an end tag for <INPUT> controls when you do a direct innerHTML.

For all these problems, I have found made javascript function to cater these needs…..

It is as follows.

Convert html to xhtml

For html to xhtml conversion, you will have to pass in 2 variables...

1. The innerHtml of the Div or table that is to be converted to XHTML or XML. here it is DivForXML

2. The Reference to an empty XML element. Here it is "parent"

var DivForXML = document.getElementById("the Element");
var XMLDom = new ActiveXObject("msxml2.domdocument");
XMLDom.async = "false";
_GetXSL(DivForXML, XMLDom);
alert(XMLDom.xml);

function _GetXHTML(DivForXML, parent) {

var XSL = new ActiveXObject("msxml2.domdocument");

XSL.async = "false";

var AllChild = DivForXML.childNodes;

var ChdXMLElem;

for (var CurElem = 0; CurElem <>

if (AllChild[CurElem].nodeType == 3) {

ChdXMLElem = parent.ownerDocument.createTextNode(AllChild[CurElem].nodeValue);

// To some browsers such as Firefox, a blank space is considered a text node (nodeType=3) just like regular text

}

else {

ChdXMLElem = parent.ownerDocument.createElement(AllChild[CurElem].tagName);

for (var attr = 0; attr <>

var attrib = AllChild[CurElem].attributes[attr];

if (attrib.specified == true) {

//Following code is used to avoid contentEditable and style attributes.

if (attrib.name.toLowerCase() != "contenteditable" || attrib.name.toLowerCase() != "style") ChdXMLElem.setAttribute(attrib.name, attrib.value);

}

}

}

if (AllChild[CurElem].childNodes.length > 0) {

_GetXHTML(AllChild[CurElem], ChdXMLElem);

}

parent.appendChild(ChdXMLElem);

}

}

The output you get will be in XHTML format. The same method and a little of extra brainstorming can be used to make more complex parsers…Hope this html xhtml parser has helped you out

If you have some doubts regarding this XHTML reference or wants to correct me on the xhtml parser, New ideas on html to xhtml conversion are most welcome..please add comments….

Getting the Properties and attributes of an object in Javascript

2009-07-10T04:17:00.001-07:00

Hi fellas,
I was looking for a way to display all the Properties and attributes of an object in Javascript.. Then this is what I ended up with.

function GetProperty(myObj) {
var temp = new Function();
var ArrayTemp = new Array();
for (myKey in myObj) {

if (typeof myObj[myKey] != typeof temp && typeof myObj[myKey] != typeof ArrayTemp) {

alert(myKey + " = " + myObj[myKey] );
}

}
}

When an object is passed as parameter to this method, All the Object properties will be popped as alerts...
It works.
Suggestions are always welcome.
Jacob....

Strange Particle Created; May Rewrite How Matter's Made.

Strange Particle [Y(4140)] Created; May Rewrite How Matter's Made.
Brian Handwerk for National Geographic News

March 20, 2009
An unexpected new subatomic particle has been discovered in Illinois's Fermilab atom smasher, scientists announced this week.

The new particle may break all known rules for creating matter, say the researchers who created the oddity.

It's long been accepted that six different "flavors" of particles called quarks combine to form larger subatomic particles.

In one method, a quark pairs with one of its opposites, an antiquark, to create a type of matter called a meson. In the second method, three quarks gather to form baryons, such as protons and neutrons.

(Related: "Bulk of Missing 'Normal' Matter Found in Cosmic Web.")

"The surprise about this new particle that we found is that it's not predicted by any of these rules," said Jacobo Konigsberg of the University of Florida.

"From what we know, if you tried to put a set of quarks or antiquarks together you couldn't build these particles."

Particle physicists explore the origins of matter by smashing two streams of particles into each other at nearly the speed of light and sorting through the exotic, short-lived particles that are produced.

"The idea is that you collide protons and antiprotons in a very small point in space and release a lot of energy—equivalent to [the energy] the universe had at the very early stages of its birth," Konigsberg explained.

"Then nature creates whatever it can create," said the physicist, who co-authored a paper about the new particle submitted to the journal Physical Review Letters

"The fun part is decoding the possibilities when you get very rare things out of that point of energy."

Y(4140) emerged as scientists sorted through the data from trillions of proton-antiproton collisions at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois.

Whole New Class

The discovery is one of several recent finds that have physicists rethinking the rules for how matter is made.

"Apparently there are a lot more ways of putting things together than we thought," said Syracuse University physicist Sheldon Stone, who runs experiments based on data from the Large Hadron Collider in Europe.

"Y(4140) is part of this whole class of objects which people don't really understand," said Stone, who was not part of the Fermilab research team.

Other researchers will no doubt try to identify the particle in their own collision data, Stone said. There should be ample opportunities to confirm that Y(4140) is real, if rare, he added.

According to Fermilab's Rob Roser, Y(4140) was found only about 20 times in billions and billions of collisions.

But with plans to triple Fermilab's massive collision dataset over the next few years, more exciting discoveries should emerge.

"We should learn more about the properties of this particle," Roser said, "and we also hope to find many new things."

Calling C# events from javascript in silverlight

2009-03-19T22:50:00.000-07:00

Calling C# events from javascript in Silverlight:

I have explained here the way to call C# events from silverlight. This is one of the most basic example and it works well. Suppose we have a function in the codebehind, which is CallMe().
We must call it from javascript or, say from the HTML page where the silverlight control is called.

For this to happen we should declare the function as [ScriptableMember] in C# . This C# attribute is declared to tell the compiler at runtime to indicate that a specific property, method, or event is accessible to JavaScript callers.

Say we have the following function.
[ScriptableMember]
public void CallMe()
{
HtmlPage.Window.Alert("Eurekaaaaaaa......");
}
Note:If this doesnt work, we must also declare the class containing this method as [ScriptableType].
Now we must register in the App.Xaml.cs,

private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
Page page=new Page();//This is if the child silverlight element is Page.xaml.
this.RootVisual = page;
HtmlPage.RegisterScriptableObject("scriptableMethod", page);
}
What we do in the above code is registering the scriptable method on the object page. The "scriptableMethod" acts as key to the Scriptable members on Page.

We call a javascript to create the silverlight application.

Now in the Html page where we call the object of the silverlight application,
we make a button that on click would call this function.

function createSilverlight( controlHost )
{
Silverlight.createObjectEx({
source: "ClientBin/XMLtest.xap",
parentElement: controlHost,
id: "XMLtestScriptable",
properties: {
width: "500",
height: "500",
version: "2.0.31005.0",
background: "white",
isWindowless: "true",
enableHtmlAccess: "true"
},
events: {}
});
}
We call this javascript to create the silverlight control on the screen.

script type="text/javascript">
// Find the div by id
var hostElement = document.getElementById("silverlightControlHost");

// Create the Silverlight control
createSilverlight(hostElement);

Now we include in the page a button, on click of the button, the function will be called.

<input onclick="document.getElementById('XMLtestScriptable').Content.Method.CallMe() " value="Alert" type="button" name="Alert">

.On click of this button it will execute the CallMe() method in silverlight codebehind

Using delegates and Events in Silverlight

2009-03-17T23:55:00.000-07:00

Using Delegates and Events in Silverlight follows the same procedure as in a windows or web program.

The scenario in which we use a delegate is also the same in silverlight. The Scenario is We have a UserControl A inside an other page or user control B, and we need an event to control the actions of A from B.

Our aim here is to add a mouse click event to the UserControl A
In this case, inside A we declare a delegate as shown below.

public delegate void UserControlClicked(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e);

We Now declare an event for this particular delegate. It is this event that we call to invoke the method.

public event UserControlClicked RectangleClicked;

Now we write in the LeftButtonDown event of the UserControl A,

private void UserControl_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
if (RectangleClicked!= null)
{
RectangleClicked(sender, e);
}
}

We check for the event condition to be null, just to verify that the event is called at B.

Now at B,

Rectangle b = new Rectangle();
b.RectangleClicked+= new Rectangle.userControlClicked(b_RectangleClicked );

and in the method RectangleClicked,

void b_RectangleClicked(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
FrameworkElement element = sender as FrameworkElement;
Rectangle box = (Rectangle)element;
string detail= "\Height: " + box.Height + " Width: " + box.Width + " Name: " + box.Name
HtmlPage.Window.Alert("Rectangle box "+detail);
}

For these to work, you must include the following namespaces.
using System.Windows.Browser; // to display the alert box.

Any mistakes in the post, please do add a comment.

Thank you.

Silverlight 2 - Using initParams

2009-03-17T06:19:00.000-07:00

I found this very neat and simple article about using Initparams while searching how to pass value s to the silverlight application.
It is done by adding a tag inside the object call of the silverlight application. as shown below.
This is how you call the silverlight application. The line in bold shows how parameter is to be passed to the application.

<object data="data:application/x-silverlight," 
           type="application/x-silverlight-2" 
           width="400" height="200">
 <param name="source" value="InitParamsTest.xap"/>
 <param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="2.0.31005.0" />
 <param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
 <param name="initParams" value="favColor=Green"/>
 <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=124807">
   <img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108181" 
           alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight"/>
 a>
object>

We now edit the App.xaml.cs to match our requirements like shown below.

public partial class App : Application
{
public App()
{
this.Startup += this.Application_Startup;
this.Exit += this.Application_Exit;

InitializeComponent();
}

private void Application_Startup(object sender,
 StartupEventArgs e)
{
this.RootVisual = new Page(e.InitParams);
}

private void Application_Exit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}
}

and in the page.xaml.cs file,

public partial class Page : UserControl
{
public Page(IDictionary<string, string> initParams)
{
InitializeComponent();
_TextField.Text = "My Favorite Color is: " + initParams["favColor"];

_TextField2.Text = "";
foreach (string key in initParams.Keys)
_TextField2.Text += key + ": " + initParams[key] + "\n";
}
}

SilverLight- how to return an XML content from a distant server

2009-03-17T05:03:00.000-07:00

I tried a lot and searched a lot to find out a method to return an XML to the silverlight application and wasted almost 3 hours on it . Then I found a way to solve the problem.The code for it is shown below.

It catches security errors if the distant URL needs a session variable to access the file.
If it doesnt need a session variable and data is of the correct format, it works properly.

private void RequestContent()
{
Uri address = new Uri(uri);
//You can supply this URI from a text box or hard code it.
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.DownloadStringCompleted += new
DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler
(webClient_DownloadStringCompleted);
webClient.DownloadStringAsync(address);
}

void webClient_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender,
DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Error == null)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Result);
txtBlock.Text = e.Result.ToString();
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Error.ToString());
txtBlock.Text = e.Error.ToString();
}
}

See you alll.......
