Google trialing CPA advertising

Posted on by Andy Callaghan.
Categories: Google, Internet.

The Google team behind Google Adwords CPC (cost Per Click) are developing a new system to better judge the value of affiliate to another site.

The new scheme runs on not just clicks to the destination page, but also the actions that they do there, hence the name Cost Per Action. It offers a better system for deciding how much to pay the host for your ad.
It is a relatively new way of advertising but many different advertising companies have already set-up CPA, so Google is just catching up.

I’ll report when it comes into beta.

The Pentagon in the States have a bold new plan – to deploy a ‘hypersonic cruise missile’ which is able to strike any target in the world within the hour, but usually taking much less time, ie. ten minutes.

The X-51 as it has been code named will be the first body to travel at Mach 5 – 3600mph and able to travel 600 miles in ten minutes.

The US govt official call the new plan the Prompt Global Strike. Even though the US are claiming that the new weapon will not have nuclear capabilities, it easily could have.

Many people see it as a easy way for a push-button nuclear war direct from the Whitehouse.
