On-line marketing solutions: performance-based affiliate programs & search marketing

Online marketing solutions: performance-based affiliate programs & search marketing: "This page sets forth the privacy policies and practises of Commission Junction, Inc. and its affiliated companies within the ValueClick Marketing Network ('ValueClick Network' 'ValueClick' 'we' or 'us') and includes the following principal Internet sites:
AdWare.com
ClickAgents.com
CJ.com
HiSpeedMedia.com
Mediaplex.com
Search123.com
ValueClick.com"

As any responsible web user knows more browser hijackings and spam come from valueclick and adware (than any other network) with search123 ranking high in the use of so called "dirty URLs".

It is the responsibility of every net citizen to boy-cot these companies and block their extremely invasive methods.

While it maybe tempting to try and earn money from your users it would be far wiser if the MaxWeb user simply went with the trusted names like Google ads.

With Google's ad system you are paid for clicks and not uncertain actions that you must trust third parties to track for you.

These "affiliate" marketing methods user invasive third party cookies and 1 by 1 remote loaded graphics and masked URLs that can definitely imping on your privacy.

Thankfully you can block third party cookies and you can get IE6 plug ins that refuse 1 x 1 graphics.

FIGHT BACK TODAY!

MaxWebPortal Mods

MaxWebPortal Mods: "How many people plan to show up? I'm guessing at least 12"

This is the site where the great and the good will gather to discuss max web modding - at Microsofts Own Portal site - MSN!

It is unclear if this is a bad or a very bad sign but at least the modding moves on. I personally have high hopes for this conference.

New File Center
A new development and possibly a first for Max Web is a website running perl and unix dedicated to MaxWebbing.
It is none other than a file mirror and storage point.

Matt B said: I hope that modders will add files here as well as on thier own servers meaning that these files will be easier to find. To this end it has been made as simple as possible. It is my hope that this service will enhance whatever plans are made next.

XML - eXtream modding. - MaxWebEdit | Forums | Developing New Techniques

XML - eXtream modding. - MaxWebEdit | Forums | Developing New Techniques: "It has been on my mind for a while that MWE could move slowly into the world of XML. It would be a huge job but potentially well worth it.
Eventually the Database could be left behind standardising the data connection and even allowing a PERL/PHP port!
I don't expect this thread to be much more than an insperation and a clue to what I have been thinking."

It is with these words that Max Web Edit's so called Mr 3rd Normal Form whets our appitite and sugests a whole new future with a totally revilutionary MOD.

The question now is of course how can this possibly pay out? One man (or woman the web being what it is) would be unlikely to re-write an entire application such as Max Web Edit into an XML app'.

However, if one person or group were to do this before project Huricane compleats it could potentially eclipse Huricane and even replace Max Web compleatly.

or it could just be an interesting side note.

Games MODs - A selection of those we found
The amazing MOD news team bring you games that (almost) changed the world (or not). As with all news casts please come to the news website and comment on the news items. In this case tell us what you thought about the games we have found.

The first "game" in this selection is anything but a game - it is a game "ladder and bank" whatever that means. But it seemed to us that lots of features would be available for playing with Gold and so forth plus there were whispers of this being a requirement for future games.

Now on to the games:
Hangman Thread. I was unsure if this MOD ever got made but as you will see by the end of this news cast that doesn't matter too much.

Poker. (MWP Thread)
(http://www.arackspace.com/weevaa/MODs/poker.zip)
This game seems well tested and is ready for users to check out.

Blackjack (MWP Thread)
(http://www.geocities.com/john_dinh_n/blackj.zip)
Another Clasic game brought to you by the letters M and W and the number 3...

PACK OF GAMES
This huge MOD left all others standing in shear scope if nothing else.

Here are the files and what they do.
--> games.asp - Main file. Has some text hard-coded in, so change it to read how you want it to.
--> games_blackjack.asp - Runs the blackjack game
--> games_hangman.asp - Runs the hangman game. Also needs images in /images/hangman/--> games_hangit.txt - A text file that holds all of the hangman words
--> games_snake.asp - The main snake game (also 2 images in the main folder)--> score.asp - Used as I-Frame in snake game to show score--> finalscore.asp - Snake game calls this page after finish to calculate score
--> games_tetris.asp - The main Tetris file.--> thescore.asp - A little window that pops up to display the final score. Also tallies the score for the database.
--> inc_top_short2.asp - File that contains some functions used in the pop up windows
--> games_allmembers.asp - The games.asp page shows the Top 10 Leaderboard, but this pop-up will show the entire list of members, their points, wins, losses, and total games. It is sorted by total points (gold).

All of these files are available from links on the thread linked to by this large section. It should also shortly be available at Max Web Edit as I understand that they are planning to upload the zip file to a server sometime today.

Try these games out and let us know what you think.

News on the Modding center?
We found that This Topic seemed to be advocating this site which seems in principle to be a great idea but lacks the support to be truely great. that seems to be a shame because these guys seem real keen.

In other news: This thread seems also to be a place to look for news and it seems that Frost has opened his own Mod -N- Theme site! Which is good.

What is needed is some way to tie these things togeather. I for one suggest swapping links might be an idea lads.
