Last tie I talked about this abotu the Domain Name Specualtor Start-Up in Indianapolis I covered the dissmal click-through ad pay circumstances. So what is different between this start-up and a successfull Domain Name Specualtor Start-UP? it has to do with proper application of programming and development.
It goes way beyond making sure to use the DTD declaration in the first line of html to control how browsers and different versions of the same browser display html pages. Obviously, if do not include that line you cannot make the site appear the same on all browsers and it will break in some browsers.
instead what I ma refrring to is how to increase that dissmal click-throguh rate. One way to do that if you understand how to program the browser DOM is to get the search query for the previous referrer or previous link, ie the link the user clicked on to lead to your site, and use that set of keywords to deliver clickable items from your engine partner i the first 5 items.
In other words you will have a javascript colelct the link tha tlead to site hand it off to a CGI script that parsers that url to get the query key words and than another script sends those key words in a a query to the serach eninge partner to deliver directed search results in the placeholder page of your site.
That 1% successfull Domaina SPecualtors out of 99% do in fct use this strategy. Unfortunately, the two dilberts in Indianapolis in this start-up spent too much time not paying people and refusing to admit that they need actual training.
Typically, the first web application development/programming lesson other than validating inputs for security reasons and proper ecommerce programming is the application of regex techniques. And certainly this above situation is where regex can be applied. And certainly I have found in my experience of training people that there is no person that is incapable of mastering programming unless they have a mental defect as there is a whole set of logic, rational thinking tools, philosopy frameworks, and etc that ease that mastery of the computer science/programming subject.
