  6. Re:Mozilla, Opera and Firefox... on PC Magazine Reviews Firefox, Opera · · Score: 1

    The same thing happens to me with Opera 7.5 Win32 (I know, it's still beta, but 7.0 did it, too). I keep it open 'cause I use Opera's M2 mail client by default and after a day or two, it consumes about 130M of RAM.

    No, there isn't such a law. There are even companies that are reimporting volkswagens and audis to Germany because they are sold cheaper in Italy. Look at this.

  9. opera on Bayesian Filtering Outside of Email? · · Score: 1

    I know, it's in mail, but as far as I know, opera's mail client (in the actual beta 7.5 at least) uses bayesian filtering to sort non-spam messages in your views. Opera learns where to sort mails when you drag and drop mails from one view to another so you don't have to set up rules (you can do, if you want but you don't have to).

  25. I tried it too... on Web Advertising Revenues? · · Score: 4, Informative

    ... with a German geek-toys site à la thinkgeek. Since I hadn't the money to build up the logistic part around it, I tried it as a reseller. I found a good (German) affilate program (zanox), that lets me choose products out of the participant's catalogues and get a revenue of 5% of every sold item. Additionally, every participant delivers a couple of banners in every needed format.

    I mix the affilate program with amazon stuff, using their reseller program and make the products the content of the site.

    Using movabletype and keeping in mind some main ideas of google in mind (search terms in filename and in the header, etc.) I finaly made my site to appear on top in google using some interesting keywords (dialer blocker (a tool to stop troyan horses dialing expensive numbers), div x or mx 700).

    Additionally, I show banner ads. I show both, valueclick banners from external sponsors and 'internal' ones (sending the users to products or shops of the affiliate program or even sending them to the bestsellers of my site).

    The content based ads are making around 3/4 of the money, the rest is devided in 4/5 of the affiliate banners and 1/5 (only a couple of Euros per month) through valueclick.

    All in all, I have around 1500 visitors per month generating around 140.000 hits. It pays the traffic, but not my work (I've to post at least one new product a day).

    The most important thing is that I have two other software products (ImagePuzzler and ImageDupe) I can advertise for on my site. Since ImageDupe's website is an often linked site and ImageDupe links back to futuregeek.de I got a little 'google-bonus' from it.

    All ads and clicks (even the valueclick's) are tracked using phpAdsNew and 99% of my visitors come from google, the rest is yahoo, lycos and a german meta search engine. Since I don't trust webalizer (especially the search engine identifier), I wrote my own script, that keeps an eye on the referers.
