Website operators need to achieve good search engine rankings and spend a lot of money for putting the appropriate content and structure on their website. MetaSieve Widgets is a technology that enables the customer to integrate current, relevant content on a website with just a few clicks. This instantaneously inreases the relevance of the site with no need to change existing content.
There are only two ways for website operators to acquire new customers online. They either have to run online ads or hire expensive search engine optimization specialists. Online ads are only effective as longs as they are run, whereas a good search engine ranking stays. Those who can achieve the best ranking at the lowest cost can lower the cost for each customer and build up a competitive advantage.
MetaSieve Widgets are short code snippets which are inserted into the source code of a website. After that content can be booked via the MetaSieve website. This content then is display on the website. Just like a search engine MetaSieve permanently crawls the Web, index document components and rates these according to their relevance for a keyword. This information is used to compile the most relevant text excerpts on the Web on a daily basis. Advanced methods of natural language processing are used to mix, modify and format these excerpts in order to create new texts with high search engine relevance. The results can be displayed as topic-specific search results, news or formatted text. A search engine visiting a site that uses a MetaSieve widget will directly a higher relevance rating to the site. There is no way for a search engine to tell apart content that has been created by MetaSieve Widgets from manually generate content.
In January 2008 there were more than 150 million different websites. For most of them selling ads is the best source of income. This requires visitors on their sites which mostly come via search engines.
There are many widget providers on the Web, each of which has its own proprietary code. Even exchanging a simple banner ad means a considerable effort. The MetaSieve code has to be placed only once. It never has to be touched again, since changes can easily be done via a web interface. Our platform is capable of delivering any kind of content. MetaSieve offers an on-demand payment model so the website operator doesn't have to pay in advance.
Recently (or rather over the course of the last half year or so), there has been quite some discussion about how the Grails community responds to open source contributions, mainly with regard to Grails plugins.
The main issue Robert Fischer takes offence at is that the Grails community seems less appreciative of contributions, especially with regards [...]
Wenn Politiker über das Internet reden – wie zuletzt Bundeskanzlerin Merkel in ihrer wöchentlichen Videobotschaft aus Anlass der CeBIT – fällt schnell das Wort vom ‘rechtsfreiem Raum’.
Dazu eine Rückblende: Bis Mitte der 90er Jahre und ein bisschen darüber hinaus hatten Politiker und allgemein ein Großteil der Gesellschaft noch nichts vom Internet gehört oder taten es [...]
