AT&T to more than double subscribers in Direct Deal

AT&T says it has already committed to building out its broadband network to 15 million new customer locations over the next four years, mainly in rural areas, where satellite TV service like DirecTV is often the most attractive option. If it does, it will more than double the 11 million internet subscribers it claims now.

NSA tampering with private company tech before develivery?

Serious lack of integerity by the USA government if this is really the case…Quote of article and link to full story below.

 

Cisco chief executive John Chambers has reportedly written to US President Obama, pointing out that the NSA tampering with kit it exports is not likely to result in more customer confidence or higher sales.

The allegation that the NSA intercepts and fiddles with Cisco kit before it can reach offshore customers was raised last week by Edward Snowden’s amanuensis Glen Greenwald as he set out to spruik a new tome. Photos of Cisco kit on a workbench somewhere later emerged, giving credence to the story.

Cisco seems to be taking the story seriously enough that, according to the Financial Times (regwalled)Chambers has picked up a fresh sheet of letterhead and despatched it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with an angry message to the effect that, to quote the pink pages, “if these allegations are true, these actions will undermine confidence in our industry and in the ability of technology companies to deliver products globally

Javascript, AJAX, and Website Ratings

I got to thinking about different ways advertisers charge for placement of an ad/link on a page. Several Key components in figuring out a fair price to sell at are

  • Alexa Rank
  • Page Rank
  • Unique Visitors
  • and Page Views

Now let us take a closer look at the Page Views and its value to overall Ratings. Page Views have been important in determining what visitors are looking at on a web site. For example: You have pages www.yourwebsite.com/cool-product-for-sale.html and www.yourwebsite.com/cool-product-reviews.html You can check your stats application to see how often and how long they were on that pages make comparison between the two and various other analysis, but that landscape is changing.

Introducting AJAX:

It stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.

AJAX powered applications often perform their function(s) on the same page without even so much as a page refresh. Think of Widgets and all they can do in one little block. Something likeChitika eMiniMalls. One page can have several widgets on it. Each Widget allows for a Showing One or Multiple products (via keywords) Search for other products, and compare “Best Deals”

Here is an example of this widget:


I think we can expect to see a rapid decline in page views as any valid method of analysis. Sure you can still do your cross testing with static pages not using any Javascript or AJAX. It’s hard to compete with building full pages and driving traffic to them vs. having these extra features and options for the visitor to click through once they have landed on one of your pages as another way to monetize another stream of PPC.

Welcome To The Oregon Publishing Blog

A new month, a new year on the horizon and a new shinny blog added to OregonPublishing.com

This blog will try and keep up with what is going on with the Internet, Affiliate Marketing, Domaining, New Technology, and what the industry leaders of the fore mention are doing on the bleeding edge of cyberspace. I know that I can’t keep up with everything, but I sit in this chair all day and work and read, so I’m pretty hip with the trends and staying “on top of it”.  I will often post an exurpt  and a link out to the rest. Sometimes I’ll make a comment and give my take on it and where it might be heading, but other times not.

I am looking forward to working this blog.
