Chitika Research: Clickers Are More Likely to Click

MARLBOROUGH, 11/25/2009 – People who search by clicking the button on Google’s homepage are fifty percent more likely to go on to click an ad than people who search by any other Google means, according to online ad network Chitika. The study, which looked at just over 11 million impressions, shines a light on the possibility and importance of being able to predict web users’ activity.

When comparing the different types of traffic that come through their advertising network, the researchers at Chitika compared the different types of Google traffic – people who click on the “Google Search” button, people who search by hitting the enter key, people who search from browser toolbars, etc. While the overall clickthrough rate for the entire Google-searching sample was 0.95%, the people who searched by clicking on the search button at Google.com clicked ads at a 1.56% rate, over half again higher.

Official: Water has been discovered on the Moon


Since man first touched the moon and brought pieces of it back to Earth, scientists have thought that the lunar surface was bone dry. But new observations from three different spacecraft have put this notion to rest with what has been called "unambiguous evidence" of water across the surface of the moon.



The new findings, detailed in the Sept. 25 issue of the journal Science, come in the wake of further evidence of lunar polar water ice by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and just weeks before the planned lunar impact of NASA's LCROSS satellite, which will hit one of the permanently shadowed craters at the moon's south pole in hope of churning up evidence of water ice deposits in the debris field.

Google is being challenged by Bing - Google Vs Microsoft

It keeps getting interesting as it's no longer news that SE domination of Google over the years is getting a hot chase, well i'm still wondering how this would happen but it's all over the news

Check this out; from Jeff Bertolucci. Contact via Twitter at jbertolucci.blogspot.com .

Given undistinguished history of Microsoft's late and unlamented Live Search engine, the predecessor to Bing, it's easy to dismiss Redmond as a hapless also-ran in the search market. But given the vast sums of money and resources that Microsoft is investing in its fledging Google challenger, this could change in a hurry.

Get a Brand New 200GB Laptop at N15,000 only - Gideon Bankole's Blog

Just like you, I thought it was too good to be real to own a Brand New 200GB Laptop at N15,000 only. But I love to verify claims before making conclusions, and amazingly I found that this is actually real. So I have carefully prepared this FREE report to help you get yours too. Here, I’ve provided answers to your likely questions. Please carefully read every bit of this material and tell all your friends too… they’ll be thankful.

Why N15,000 Laptop?

You and I know how important it is to own a laptop in today’s world. Unfortunately, because of the cost of acquiring a good one, personal laptops are unaffordable for most Africans.
www.flipafrica.org/pt041123823, E-mail: info@flipafrica.org, Tel: 01-8507480, 08069606633 or 08059211033. Note that you cannot access any information or register if you don't go through a referral link.

That is,
www.flipafrica.org/pt041123823 the acceptable link. To get to their office by public transport from Ikeja, board a bus going to Ojodu and alight at Omole bus stop, or from Berger, board a bus going to Ikeja and Alight at Omole bus stop, or from Berger. It’s pretty easy to locate their office.

How does it work?

There are 5 packages in all, each with different laptop specifications. Please visit flipafrica.org/pt5437 for the package specifications and choose the one that best suit your taste. To get your laptop under any package, you’re required to introduce a certain number of people (e.g. 3 people for Bronze, 4 for Silver… etc) to register through you.
1. Bronze (Requires 3 people)
2. Silver (Requires 4 people)
3. Gold (Requires 5 people)
4. Platinum (Requires 6 people)
5. Diamond (Requires 7 people As soon as the required number of people registers through you, a congratulatory SMS will be sent to you and then your laptop will be delivered to you.

How do I register?

1. Pay N15,000 (non-refundable "partnership fee") into any of their bank accounts. (I deliberately didn’t include their account numbers here because I want you to also visit
flipafrica.org/pt041123823 to personally get information about the initiative and ask them any further questions you may have).

2. Decide the package you’re ok with and fill the registration form. NOTE THAT your payment bank teller number will be required, so keep it safe. A confirmatory text message and e-mail containing your referral code will be sent into your phone and e-mail address as soon as your payment is confirmed.

The referral code included in that message is what you’ll give your friends to register with. More benefits?Yes! You’ll be paid N2,000 for every additional person who registers using your referral code after you must have gotten your laptop. That is, if 200 people registers with referral code after you have your laptop, you’ll be paid N2,000 X 200 = N400,000! (Now you should understand what I’m up to).

How do I get people?

The same reason you’re interested is the same reason your friends will be interested, because everyone needs a laptop. For instance, I had a laptop before I heard about this initiative… and I got another through FLIP Africa barely 2 weeks from the day I first heard about it just by telling my friends. As at the moment I was preparing this, 5 out of the 7 folks that registered through me already have their laptops! Well, back to how to get people:

1. Tell your friends. If they don’t believe you, have them contact me (Gideon: 08060071837 or through email: bankolegideon@yahoo.com

2. Prepare an explanatory material like this and e-mail it to all your e-mail contacts

3. Tell people online on Face Book, Chat Rooms, and other Social Networking websites The truth is, everyone needs this, and you’ll be doing people a BIG favor by informing them how they can acquire a laptop with just N15,000. You’ll be surprised at how much result you’ll generate! So what are you waiting for?

I've checked it out and it's real. You might want to do the same.
