Relevancy and Search Quality Analysis - By Mark David and Avi Rappoport
The Manifold Path to Search Quality
To achieve accurate search results, we must come to an understanding of the three pillars involved.
1. Understand your data
2. Understand your customers’ intent
3. Understand your search engine
The first path passes through Data Analysis and Text Processing.
The second passes through Query Processing, Log Analysis, and Result Presentation.
Everything learned from those explorations feeds into the final path of Relevancy Ranking.
Search quality is focused on end users finding what they want -- technical relevance is sometimes irrelevant! Working with the short head (very frequent queries) has the most return on investment for improving the search experience, tuning the results, for example, to emphasize recent documents or de-emphasize archive documents, near-duplicate detection, exposing diverse results in ambiguous situations, using synonyms, and guiding search via best bets and auto-suggest. Long-tail analysis can reveal user intent by detecting patterns, discovering related terms, and identifying the most fruitful results by aggregated behavior. all this feeds back into the regression testing, which provides reliable metrics to evaluate the changes.
By merging these insights, you can improve the quality of the search overall, in a scalable and maintainable fashion.
Fundraising for a campaign can be scary. Learn about the basics of fundraising to help get over your fear.

Planning a successful fundraiser requires being able to successfully manage multiple moving pieces; from establishing a budget to securing donors and everything in between. We've put together a list of seven tips for anyone who might be planning their first fundraiser.
Move a First-Time Donor Into a Major DonorBloomerang
Converting a first-time donor into a major donor is easier than you think. If you are ready for a plan to get there, join our special guest Rachel Muir, CFRE, VP of Training at Pursuant, who will show you performance metrics to help you work smarter, not harder, to upgrade donors and manage your portfolio efficiently.
Charities use newsletters to communicate with donors. But often with mixed objectives and for mixed audiences. In this presentation we look at what makes good communications and what newsletters are for. Towards the end, all attendees critiqued each others newsletters (anonymously) and the result was a resounding disappointment. Only one of the newsletters were actually achieving good communications.
Excerpt from a recent webinar run by seantriner.com
Middle-Value donor stewardship: three easy steps to make your mid-value donors feels like the VIPs they really are

which we received on ____(Date). Your generous contribution will
help to further the important work of our organization.”
“While, according to IRS regulations, you will not be allowed to
declare the value of your donation from our acknowledgment, we
can say that, but for your generosity, we likely would have had to
expend approximately $________ for what you gave as an In-Kind
contribution. These are dollars saved which we are able to apply
directly to support the programs and services we provide for the
well-being of those whom we serve in our community.”
- Tony Poderis

there more there?
How can you get them more involved?
23. Not so fast

24. Invest in the process.
Just ask
Be amazed by your creativity and others
generosity
Increase your donor base and donor
engagement (volunteers are donors too)
Be a hero – preserve your organizational
resources
