New Chitika CPM Ads, Wonderful!

Today I got an email from chitika, said that CPM Graphic Banners have officially been integrated into my sites, and the results are excellent as as there is an immediate increase in revenue across the board.

As you may remember from our blog post on this, we are incorporating these ads when we know that we will be able to make you more money with a CPM ad than our standard ad units. For example, if you are in Canada, and viewing a page with a Chitika ad on it, we will most likely show you a CPM Graphic banner because we are seeing more revenue from graphic ads for Canadian traffic.

Of course - if you are the type of person who does not like graphic ads on their site - you can opt-out of our CPM program by logging into Chitika.com and then clicking on the “Account” tab near the top of the page (on the following page, the opt-out option will be at the bottom). However, we do not recommend doing this, because it will result in less revenue for you.

How it works? Graphic ads will pay per impression (CPM) and will be shown only when they can earn you more revenue than a CPC-based ad. Our ad targeting system will intelligently find and display relevant graphic (CPM) ads for your pages when appropriate.

You should start to try them!

Megan Fox, New Sexiest Woman in the World?

Megan Fox is the sexiest woman in the world — at least according to FHM magazine. FHM is one of those cheeky lad mags, like Maxim, though FHM is more like Maxim’s younger, trashier third cousin who dropped out of middle school for abusing the glue pots.
The “Transformers” co-star tops FHM’s annual 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll of FHM readers. The 21-year-old model-actress beat out the likes of Angelina Jolie (No. 12), Rihanna (No. 14), Kim Kardashian (No. 17), Paris Hilton (No. 77) and last year’s champion, Jessica Alba (No. 3).

Further curiosity: Heidi Montag (No. 44) beat out another “The Hills” star, Audrina Patridge (No. 80), which if you’ve seen these two, can only be described as an outrage. If your idea of outrage is an increase in beer prices.

Here’s the top ten Sexiest Woman on FHM version:
1. Megan Fox
2. Jessica Biel
3. Alba
4. Elisha Cuthbert
5. Scarlett Johansson
6. Emmanuelle Chriqui (um, who?)
7. Hilary Duff (um, WHAT!?)
8. Tricia Helfer
9. Blake Lively
10. Kate Beckinsale

About P2P File Sharing With BitTorrent

Many people think of MP3 music files when they hear about online file sharing. The Napster phenomenon did much to move peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing into the spotlight. Regardless of the legal issues, P2P file sharing is an excellent way to download large files, even a full CD or DVD! BitTorrent is one of the leading P2P software programs available.

BitTorrent refers to both the software produced by BitTorrent Inc. and the method used by the software to share files. A torrent is defined as “a stream of water flowing with great rapidity and violence” or “a rushing, violent, or abundant and unceasing stream of anything.” The BitTorrent software is for downloading more than just music, however. Sites use it to distribute free software compact discs, games, office software, and other huge files.

The BitTorrent software is available for free from www.bittorrent.com. The software, called a client, coordinates the file downloads. These downloads are different from ordinary website or FTP downloads. The bandwidth used during website and FTP downloads remains a constant drain on the server throughout the download. With BitTorrent, pieces of the downloading file are pulled from the computers of people who have already downloaded the file, or who are currently in the downloading process.

To start using BitTorrent, download and install the software. When you see a file you want to download, check to see if the website offers BitTorrent downloads. If it does, click on the given link and choose “open file from current location” if asked. The BitTorrent software will activate and begin downloading the file.
Once the BitTorrent software activates, you will be added to the group of people currently downloading that particular file. This group is known as a “swarm.” Some of the people in the swarm have already downloaded the file, and are keeping their BitTorrent software active to provide the file to new downloaders. These peopled are called “seeders.” The people who are currently downloading are called “downloaders” or “leeches.”

“Leech” is sometimes used to describe a person who only downloads and doesn’t contribute to others by uploading. However, newer versions of the BitTorrent software balance out the load by requiring users to both upload and download. This is done automatically. It is considered good file sharing etiquette to keep your BitTorrent software running when your download is complete. This will allow your computer to make the complete file available to other downloaders.
Some opinions say that you should keep your BitTorrent software running for 72 hours after your download finishes. Others say to keep the software seeding until you have at least uploaded as much as you have downloaded.

The seeding and downloading continues until the download completes. If you have enough seeders, this is not a problem. However, for old or rare P2P downloads, there may not be a full copy of the file available for download. Your download might get stuck being only partially complete, until someone with the full file begins seeding. That’s why it is important to be a good file sharer and seed once your download is done. For these reasons, BitTorrent downloading and seeding works best with a broadband internet connection.

More free software programs that are compatible with BitTorrent software are available from Azureus, uTorrent, BitComet and other sites.

Traffic by Ping

Pinging lets dozens of services know you’ve updated your site and increases traffic to your blog. Most of the sites have a ping page or an automated XML-RPC script that you can use (not with blogger).
So why would you want to be on these sites? One word: traffic. Blogrolling scripts like blogrolling.com and WordPress check update services to see if you’ve updated and then they reflect that on everyone’s site, usually by moving you to the top of people’s blogrolling list or putting a recently updated indicator by your link. Services like Technorati spider your links to tell who’s linking to you and who you’re linking to, almost in real time. If you show up on someone’s Technorati link list for their site (often called an “egorati search”) they’re likely to visit your site to see what you said, increasing your exposure. Other sites like weblogs.com and blo.gs list the most recently updated blogs and many people browse these to find something new when they’re bored. Many of the different services offer their own forms for pinging just that service, but keeping track of all those and hitting each one whenever you update would be a hassle.
Ping-o-Matic! is a very useful tool that automatically pings many services.
