Four Click Freedom

http://www.prweb.com/releases/adinsight-call-tracking/web-route/prweb2353784.htm

At this link you can see how one website is embedded in another.  The secondary site is completely functional within its embedded location.  The only thing that refreshes is the embedded site.

Now imagine a site that is made up of several embedded sites.  For easy understanding take the ads as my first example.  All the ads on the site will be there own websites.  When I sell advertisements I will give the buyer a list of sizes for the Clickboard spaces on my site as they will change depending on interaction.  Then the advertiser will create various websites based on those sizes able to transform if the workspace transform but continue with their current operations where it left off from the last interaction.  They will be completely functional all the way to acquisition of coupons or even redemption of coupons and sale.  All without disturbing the rest of the site.

Now imagine all the coupons you will be receiving.  They will all have to be filed and organized for better use and sharing.  Part of the window will be a file folder system that one is instructed to create to categorize coupons into various folders as business, shopping, groceries, and leisure to name a few.  Then to manage the folder the contents can be exported to the main platform, again a different website, in the middle of the screen.  There you will have options to tag, find out more, share, extend expiration dates, etc.

I really need to draw a picture.  But the seperate windows all have to be able to take on different sizes as users switch between contents.  It is much easier to explain in person.

So if there are three websites all making up Clickboards.net, they will all share the control panel platform.  Each linked and able to update themselves based on input from other parts of the control panel.  Even actions in multiple zones will have an overall effect within the control panel.  This allows for much more accessibility, ease of use, and immediate results upon your actions.  I even want a drag and drop option so files and folders or coupons can be placed in desired locations easily without file location menus like on a normal desktop.  The working area is flat.  I think that is the biggest difference from the desktop of most computers.  But the working area can be guided through multiple actions at once, that is the biggest difference than your browser.

And the work area continuously changes. Transforming certain sections in size depending on your current operations.  For example the mail can be listed as to what you are reading, down to in box, down to in folders, down to a menu item on your screen, thus taking up half a page, to a quarter page, to and eighth page, to a one word link.  Thus the rest of your operating control panel also shifts with the information displayed.  This may seem common place actually, and I really hope it is,  basically the changes are a compilation of several operations.  I hope to have a drawn representation soon to post.

Alimama‘s unique business model is designed to meet the needs of China‘s fragmented market for online advertising, providing a system that is transparent to both web publishers and advertisers. To use the service, publishers register on Alimama.com to provide a description of the advertising inventory for sale, as well as the pricing models based on which the inventory can be sold, such as pricing based on impressions served, clicks or other actions by Internet users. Advertisers review the information posted by publishers, along with independent website traffic data. Once they’ve decided to buy the inventory, they simply click “Purchase” and follow the steps to upload their ad. Current advertisers include large companies such as Bank of China and small advertisers, such as restaurants and shops.

I am trying to do some research on this site but it is all in Chinese.  This platform seems almost lock and key to my service.  Using their platform advertisers both large and small could place Clickboards all across the Internet connecting them to my site.  I would like to see one day Alimama selling my Clickboards.  All the basic fees stay in place and I can actually give Alimama an added benefit of more information from the placement of their ads, giving publishers and advertisers more information about the effectiveness of their ads.  And remember, Alimama can sell Clickboards without me, however they could offer my services at Clickboards.net as a value added model for advertisers and their promotional offers.  Alimama is not a Social Utility, something I believe their local advertisers would find attractive.  Alimama, I want on board.

It is really easy.  I have actually come up with two different ways to make a Clickboard, both using Flash.  The first uses multiple scenes.  What you do is set your canvas size the the size of the banner you are making.  Then in four separate scenes you cover the canvas in a button.  The buttons as stated lead the sale progressively through the scenes.  And the buttons can be as extensive and complex as you can imagine with Flash.  All that you need to do is put stops on each scene and then link each button to the next scene.  The final scene will be the button that connects to the URL Clickboards.net.

The second method uses one scene.  Here you use four key frames and put stop actions on the key frames.  The click action will then allow the Clickboard to keep playing.  The final frame is again the URL action.

Basically one method uses the button to create action and the other uses the key frames.

I personally am not an expert and my rudimentary method is still in the research phase of asking questions a lot.  I wish I was back in Flash class and I would have my first Clickboard done in about forty-five minutes.

Oh yea and the reason people know they can click on these banners with buttons is because my icon will appear in the lower right hand corner of each button or step in the scene.

Go make one now!

An innovation that is not even innovative.  Have we been stuck in the mud that long to actually be impressed by something like this?

Yahoo is saying they can better target ads to the content based search on their site.  Well isn’t that exactly how they come up with the actual content that they put on their site.  Now they are saying the ads are going to be more closely related to the content that is on the site.  So what! Put makeup ads next to the makeup content, put fashion ads next to the fashion content, put the sports equipment next to the sports content.  Big deal.

The Google expandable ads are a joke too.  You still have to click on them.  So you really don’t know if you are getting an expandable ad or sent to the site.  So what is the difference, it’s just a levy.  So you really want to pay for more that?
