Monetization methods for video websites

AdVideos

Just like Google AdWords being displayed at top or right of the regular search results, your AdVideos can also appear next to the research results. To an advertiser, this is a good way to promote your video and thus your business.

Text Ad at the bottom of a video

Just like traditional TV advertisement, an advertiser can display text advertisement at the bottom of a video. The text advertisement must be highly relevant to the content of the video that is being watched.

Existent solutions can work in similar new areas sometimes.

My entrepreneurial ideas--Open Research Platform

While Wikipedia is a platform for collaborative writing, Open Research Platform(ORP) is a platform for collaborative research.

ORP is composed of an increasing number of research projects. A project has one creator, one goal, and unlimited participants or researchers.

An entry of a research project includes creator, creation time, title, goal, significance, background, current research achievement and main part.

The main part is somewhat like a thread on an online forum in its simplest form. Participant can propose a statement, argue or defend a statement by providing convincing argumentation or proofs. The entire process of research to reach the common goal is an intellectual relay. The research process is done collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world. It is to draw on collective wisdom and absorb all useful ideas. It is to put heads together so as to get better results.

Several ways to show how Googlebot sees your pages

There are several ways to test your site's accessibility.
1.A text browser. Use a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site, because most search engine spiders see your site much as Lynx would.
2.View your site in your browser with JavaScript turned off.
3.If your site is already indexed by Google, view plain-text(text-only) version of your web pages in Google's cache. This is useful because it shows exactly how Googlebot sees the page. Let me explain how to do it. First execute a search of site:yourwebsite.com on Google, click "cached" on any result, then you will see a "text-only version'' button at the top right of the screen.
4. Others. Please tell me if you know.

Javascript is in HTML cached, so all the ads which are in Javascript shows up in full-version(HTML) cache. A text browser doesn't include Javascript.The text-only cache is the page in the form Google digests it.

If you test these methods above with my blog, you will find that the content on the badge(Steven's shared items) is not indexed by Googlebot.

Drink beer in Hangzhou

In Hangzhou, people often order draught beer (also known as draft beer , beer on draft or tap beer) in a restaurant. Draught beer is served by a pitcher. You have to specify how much mugs you want. And you have to specify large one(pitcher) or small one(pitcher) sometimes. A large pitcher of beer is equivalent to approximately two bottles of beers. Draught beer is more expensive than regular beer. People who propose a toast is considered as having good manners. They raise glasses and say "cheers", then drink off.

A Floating Mind

1. Ask: My last post was published on last Friday, October 3, 2008. Why does Google Blog Search only index my blog till October 1,2008? To have a look at it, please click search popularity-peculiarity blog on October 10,2008.

My own answer: Googlebot last successfully accessed my home page on Oct 2, 2008.There is not enough time for Google to index late posts.
What is your answer?

2. Ask: Is it a good way to create backlinks(inbound links) by posting links on Google Groups, Yahoo Answers, Digg, etc.?

My own answer: In this way you can create more referrals to your blog,but it won't help improve your PR because of the "nofollow" tag.
