A Brief of Google AdWords Pay Per ClickRanjan Jena
PPC is particularly good for split testing as it allows your strategies to fail much faster, saving you time and money in the long run. While it seems like strange advice, knowing what terms not to go for can be more important in some ways than figuring out which search terms are best, as creating content is expensive and time consuming. If you don’t have it right, you will waste a lot of time and resources.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

To speed surfing, browsers store recently used pages on a user’s disk. If a site is revisited,
browsers display pages from the disk instead of requesting them from the server. As a
result, servers under-count the number of times a page is viewed.

number is given by dividing the number of sale/leads by the number

rate would be 20%.

starting point when a browser first connects to the Internet. Typically, it welcomes you and
introduces the purpose of the site, or the organization sponsoring it, and then provides

page downloads too slowly, or it’s unclear or uninteresting, you will probably lose a
customer.
Host
An Internet host used to be a single machine connected to the Internet
(which meant it had a unique IP address). As a host, it made available to

page or ad images were successfully downloaded and the user viewed the page or ads on

Agencies usually collect a fee for every thousand impressions (hence the term CPM Ð cost
per thousand).
Inbound Link

traffic to that Web page. Inbound links important because many search engine algorithms
use the quality and quantity of inbound links to measure the popularity of a Web page.

which consists of a number in the format A.B.C.D where each of the four sections is a
decimal number from 0 to 255. Most people use Domain Names instead and the resolution
between Domain Names and IP addresses is handled by the network and the Domain
Name Servers. With virtual hosting, a single machine can act like multiple machines (with
multiple domain names and IP addresses).
ISP (Internet Service Provider)
A business that provides access to the Internet. Its services are available to either
individuals or companies, and include a dial-in interface with the Internet, software supply

Keyword
A word -- or often phrase -- used to focus an online search. A keyword
is a database index entry that identifies a specific record or document.
Keyword searching is the most common form of text search on the web.
Most search engines do their text query and retrieval using keywords.
Unless the author of the web document specifies the keywords for her
document (this is possible by using meta tags), it’s up to the search engine to determine
them. Essentially, this means that search engines pull out and index words that are
believed to be significant. Words that are mentioned towards the top of a document and
words that are repeated several times throughout the document are more likely to be
deemed important.

Keyword Bidding is the process or method used by search engines
marketers to determine the ranking of paid keywords results in AOL,
Google, MSN, Yahoo, and other search engines that require pay per click
advertising to determine your ranking and positioning in their search
results and in content results on networked partners’sites.
Keyword Matching
In Google Ad Words, there are four different keyword matching options, each specifying
a different way for a keyword to interact with search queries. With some options, you’ll
enjoy more ad impressions; with others, you’ll get fewer impressions (but potentially more
targeted clicks). By applying the appropriate matching options to your keywords, you can
best meet your ROI goals.
Types of Keyword matching:
Broad Match
This is the default option. If your ad group contained the keyword tennis shoes, your ad would
be eligible to appear when a user’s search query contained tennis and shoes, in any order, and
possibly along with other terms.Your ads could also show for singular/plural forms, synonyms,
and other relevant variations. For example, you ad might show on tennis shoe or tennis sneakers.
Run a Search Query Performance Report to see what keyword variations trigger your ad.
Phrase Match
If you enter your keyword in quotation marks, as in“tennis shoes,”your ad would be
eligible to appear when a user searches on the phrase tennis shoes, in this order, and
possibly with other terms before or after the phrase. For example, your ad could appear
for the query red tennis shoes but not for shoes for tennis, tennis shoe, or tennis sneakers.

Phrase match is more targeted than broad match, but more flexible than exact match.
Exact Match
If you surround your keywords in brackets - such as [tennis shoes] - your ad would be eligible
to appear when a user searches for the specific phrase tennis shoes, in this order, and without
any other terms in the query. For example, your ad wouldn’t show for the query red tennis
shoes or tennis shoe. Exact match is the most targeted option. Although you won’t receive
as many impressions with exact match, you’ll likely enjoy the most targeted clicks - users
searching for your exact keyword typically want precisely what your business has to offer.
Embedded match
Embedded Match is an little known advanced match option in the
setup of a Google AdWords campaign.Embedded Match means the
combination of negative match with exact match and/or phrase match.
Negative Keyword
If your keyword is tennis shoes and you add the negative keyword -red, your ad will
not appear when a user searches on red tennis shoes. Negative keywords are especially
useful if your account contains lots of broad-matched keywords. It’s a good idea to add
any irrelevant keyword variations you see in a Search Query Performance Report or the
Keyword Tool as a negative keyword.
Remember, no matter which matching options you use, it’s important to only use keywords
that accurately describe your product or service.
Keyword Research
Keyword research includes the processes and methodologies to research key words that
would be used for search and internet marketing campaigns.

linking businesses and customers around the world.
