Nowadays only a few networks provide an in-text ad service. Below is a brief overview on how it works.

Steps for website owners (webmasters):

1. Register in the ad network that provides this technology.
2. Place a special code on your website. The code analyzes page content and automatically displays he most relevant keywords as hyperlinks. When visitors point a mouse over these links they can see an ad. By clicking on the ad the visitor will be redirected to advertiser’s website.
3. That’s it. Now you can start making money. You get paid for every click on in-text ad placed on your site.

For advertisers:

1. Register in the ad network that provides in-text ad technology.
2. Upload or create your ad campaigns and advertisements.
3. Set keywords for each created ad.
4. Select website from the list where you can display in-text ad.
5. In-text ad technology helps you attract more customers.

Please note that in text contextual ads won’t need additional space on your site.

My Name is Serge and I’m robot manager of OrbitScripts design team. (:

Today i want to show you how to draw realistic robots in the Photoshop graphic editor. For instance, let’s take the robot that is placed on the main page of Orbitscripts.com:

First of all you need to make sketches. As main handiest tools I prefer to use a pencil and paper.

Then you need to scan the image and convert it to vector with the help of Pen tool. Select the tone of planes to make the image looks more like three-dimensional image.

Now we need to make the most laborious work: draw shadows and lights using brushes. Ideally, gradients should be made in Illustrator using Mesh tool, still I didn’t find a time completely “feel” the tool (: To make the robot looks more attractive on the main page we need to make Rotate Canvas → Flip Canvas Horizontal:

Let’s add glares and reflections. The steel (and robots are usually made of steel) has very strong reflections, so don’t miss it!

We are almost done. Let’s remove color reflections and strong, “out of fashion” glares that have glory.

Here are couples of examples from our website where you can trace a chain of actions: pencil → scanner → vector → volume:

• you only need to register a domain, there is no need to create a website
• no need to publish parked domains on the server, domain is simply redirected to the specific IP address
• you won’t need to pay for hosting, site development or support

Many people buy domains with the purpose of re-selling it in the future or create a website. But until these domains are unused, their owner needs to pay registration and ownership extension fees. People who hold dozens or hundreds domains don’t want their domains to stay “frozen”, they want make money on them.

You wonder, OK I parked a domain, what’s next? To start earning money on parked domains you need to display ads on it. You can display ads from two sources: third party ad networks and agencies or from direct advertisers. Direct advertisers place their ads on parked domains to target bigger audience. And you make money from the number of user clicks on the ads.

From the information above you can see that parked domain revenue depends on the following factors:

1. Number of parked domains. The more parked domains you have more money you make.
2. Domain name. The similarity of your domain name with domain name of popular sites. (for example, google.com – your domain – gooole.com)
3. Number of visitors. More visitors type your parked domain, more money you get.

There are numerous companies that provide space for your unused domains, and pay you a percentage from clicks on advertising links. Now you can create your own domain parking system with OrbitScripts Domain Parking Plug in!

Orbit AdServer + Domain Parking Plug-in – You can park unlimited number of domains in your system and display ads from third party ad networks, agencies and advertisers.

Orbit AdMarket + Domain Parking Plug-in – You and your publishers can park unlimited number of domains in your system and display ads from third party ad networks, agencies and advertisers.

• Crawler
• Parser
• Indexer
• Search Query Processor

Below is the overview of Orbit Web Spider system.

Crawler and parser are search robots that work together. The main task of the crawler is to scan the Internet at a specified time, find websites and collect links. Orbit Web Spider technology allows you to be very specific on what websites should be stored into the database. You have two options to add pages to your database: make crawler find it or you can manually input URLs.

Parser is responsible for the saved pages analysis. Page analysis includes: content, structure, codes, links analysis etc. Indexer creates an index for every page and stores it into database of your search engine. Database is an information bank, that search query processor uses to provide visitors with the most relevant results on their search requests. You can not only manage your search engine database but you can also expand it at any time.

With the help of Orbit Web Spider system you can build a high performance search engine that allows your visitors get accurate results in a matter of milliseconds.

Orbit Web Spider is a new way to create a system of any complexity – from vertical search engine to a big internet portal.

In several next post I’ll tell you about all those great feature that were added to the site.

We have also made a rebranding. We have removed the SmartPPC prefix and renamed products to make their names clearer.

SmartPPCEvo is now called Orbit AdServer.

SmartPPCAdMarket, SmartPPCREvo and SmartPPCFusion became Orbit AdMarket.

SmartPPCSearch is just Orbit Search now.

We have also made Orbit spider ? full member of our products line and called it Orbit Web Spider to separate it from our new product Orbit News & Blog Spider.
