ASP.NET MVC Source Refresh Preview

Last month we used it to publish the first drop of the ASP.NET MVC source code. This first drop included the source for the ASP.NET MVC Preview 2 release that we shipped at MIX, along with Visual Studio project files to enable you to patch and build it yourself.

A few hours ago we published a refresh of the ASP.NET MVC source code on the site. This source refresh is not an official new ASP.NET MVC preview release - instead it is an interim drop that provides a look at the current state of the source tree. We will ship the official "ASP.NET MVC Preview 3" release in a few weeks after we finish up some more work (more features and tweaks to existing ones, better VS tool integration, VS express edition support, documentation, etc). If you are someone who wants a hassle-free installation of ASP.NET MVC to use that ships with documentation and full tool support you'll probably want to wait for this official preview release. If you are someone who wants a chance to see an early "preview of the preview" and have the opportunity to start using and giving feedback on some of the features immediately, today's source refresh is probably interesting to look at.
Improvements with this ASP.NET MVC Source Refresh

This week's update (which you can download here) includes a number of improvements to ASP.NET MVC. Some of these include:

*

In addition to posting the source code for the ASP.NET MVC framework, we are also posting the source code for the unit tests that we use to test it. These tests are implemented using MSTest and the open source Moq mocking framework. A VS 2008 project file for the unit tests is included to make it easy to build and run them locally within your VS 2008 IDE.

*

Significantly easier support for testing Controller classes. You can now unit test common Controller scenarios without having to mock any objects (more details on how this works below).

*

Several nice feature additions and usability improvements to the URL routing system (more details below).

Creating a New ASP.NET MVC Project]



You can build your own copy of the ASP.NET MVC assemblies by downloading the MVC source and compiling it locally, or alternatively you can download a VS Template package to get a pre-built version of them along with a Visual Studio project template that you can use to quickly build a new ASP.NET MVC Project that uses the latest bits.

After you install the ASP.NET MVC source refresh .VSI template, a new "ASP.NET MVC Application" project template will show up under the "My Templates" section of your "New Project" dialog:

This new "My Templates" version of the MVC project template lives side-by-side with the previous ASP.NET MVC Preview 2 release (which you can see above it in the main project templates section of the dialog). This allows you to safely create new projects and and use both the latest source version and the last official preview version on the same machine.

When you create a new project using this updated ASP.NET MVC Project template you'll by default get a project that looks like below:

This new project solution contains one Controller ("HomeController") under the "\Controllers" directory and two View templates ("About" and "Index") under the "\Views\Home" sub-directory. Both view templates are based on a common master page for the site ("Site.master"), all of whose styles are defined within a "Site.css" file under the "\Content" directory.

When you run the application the built-in web-server will automatically start up and you'll see the site's "Home" content:

Clicking the "About us" tab will then display the "About" content:

The "HomeController" class in the project is responsible for handling both of the URLs above and has two action methods like below:


The default "Site.master" template looks for a "Title" value in the ViewData collection and uses it to render the element of the HTML page. The default "Index" view template looks for a "Message" value and uses it to render the home page's welcome message. You can obviously go in and customize these files however you want. <br />Controller Changes with this ASP.NET MVC Drop <br /> <br />If you were reading the above code closely you might have noticed a few changes with how Controller classes are by default implemented using this new ASP.NET MVC source refresh drop. <br /> <br />With the ASP.NET MVC Preview 2 release the above HomeController action methods would have instead been implemented like below:<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><p><img src="http://www.scottgu.com/blogposts/aprilmvc/step5.png" /> </p></span> <br /> <br />The MVC feature team is experimenting with a few ideas in this week's drop and are trying out some new ideas: <br /> <br /> 1. <br /> <br /> Action methods on Controllers now by default return an "ActionResult" object (instead of void). This ActionResult object indicates the result from an action (a view to render, a URL to redirect to, another action/route to execute, etc). <br /> 2. <br /> <br /> The RenderView(), RedirectToAction(), and Redirect() helper methods on the Controller base class now return typed ActionResult objects (which you can further manipulate or return back from action methods). <br /> 3. <br /> <br /> The RenderView() helper method can now be called without having to explicitly pass in the name of the view template to render. When you omit the template name the RenderView() method will by default use the name of the action method as the name of the view template to render. So calling "RenderView()" with no parameters inside the "About()" action method is now the same as explicitly writing "RenderView('About')". <br /> <br />It is pretty easy to update existing Controller classes built with Preview 2 to use this new pattern (just change void to ActionResult and add a return statement in front of any RenderView or RedirectToAction helper method calls). <br />Returning ActionResult Objects from Action Methods <br /> <br />So why change Controller action methods to return ActionResult objects by default instead of returning void? A number of other popular Web-MVC frameworks use the return object approach (including Django, Tapestry and others), and we found for ASP.NET MVC that it brought a few nice benefits: <br /> <br /> 1. <br /> <br /> It enables much cleaner and easier unit testing support for Controllers. You no longer have to mock out methods on the Response object or ViewEngine objects in order to unit test the response behavior of action methods. Instead, you can simply assert conditions using the ActionResult object returned from calling the Action method within your unit test (see next section below). <br /> 2. <br /> <br /> It can make Controller logic flow intentions a little clearer and more explicit in scenarios where there might be two different outcomes depending on some condition (for example: redirect if condition A is true, otherwise render a view template it is false). This can make non-trivial controller action method code easier to read and follow. <br /> 3. <br /> <br /> It enables some nice composition scenarios where a FilterActionAttribute can take the result of an action method and modify/transform it before executing it. For example: a "Browse" action on a ProductCatalog controller might return an RenderActionResult that indicates it wants to render a "List" view of products. A FilterActionAttribute declaratively set on the controller class could then have a chance to customize the specific "List" view template rendered to be either List-html.aspx or List-xml.aspx depending on the preferred MIME type of the client. Multiple FilterActionAttributes can also optionally be chained together to flow the results from one to another. <br /> 4. <br /> <br /> It provides a nice extensibility mechanism for people (including ourselves) to add additional features in the future. New ActionResult types can be easily created by sub-classing the ActionResult base class and overriding the "ExecuteResult" method. It would be easy to create a "RenderFile()" helper method, for example, that a developer writing an action could call to return a new "FileActionResult" object. <br /> 5. <br /> <br /> It will enable some nice Asynchronous execution scenarios in the future. Action methods will be able to return an AsyncActionResult object which indicates that they are waiting on a network operation and want to yield back the worker thread so that ASP.NET can use it to execute another request until the network call completes. This will enable developers to avoid blocking threads on a server, and support very efficient and scalable code. <br /> <br />One of the goals with this interim preview is to give people a chance to play around with this new approach and do real-world app-building and learning with it. <br /> <br />We will also post an alternative Controller base class sample that you can use if you still prefer the previous "void" action return approach. We deliberately didn't include this alternative Controller base class in this source refresh drop, though, because we want to encourage folks to give the "ActionResult" return approach a try and send us their app-building feedback on it. <br />How To Unit Test Controller Action Methods <br /> <br />I mentioned above that the new ActionResult approach can make unit testing controllers much easier (and avoid the need to use mocking for common scenarios). Let's walk through an example of this in action. <br /> <br />Consider the simple NumberController class below: <br /> <br />This Controller class has an "IsEvenNumber" action method that takes a number as a URL argument. The IsEvenNumber action method first checks whether the number is negative - in which case it redirects the user to an error page. If it is a positive number it determines whether the number is even or odd, and renders a view template that displays an appropriate message: <br /> <br />Writing unit tests for our "IsEvenNumber" action method is pretty easy thanks to the new ActionResult approach. <br /> <br />Below is an example unit test that verifies that the correct Http redirect occurs when a negative number is supplied (for example: /Number/IsEvenNumber/-1): <br /> <br />Notice above how we did not need to mock any objects to test our action method. Instead we simply instantiated the NumberController class and called the action method directly (passing in a negative number) and assigned the return value to a local "result" variable. I used the C# "as type" syntax above to cast the "result" variable as a strongly typed "HttpRedirectResult" type. <br /> <br />What is nice about the C# "as" keyword is that it will assign the value as null instead of throwing an exception if the cast fails (for example: if the action method returned a RenderViewResult instead). This means I can easily add an assertion check in my test to verify that the result is not null in order to verify that an Http redirect happened. I can then add a second assertion check to verify that the correct redirect URL was specified. <br /> <br />Testing the scenarios where non-zero numbers are passed in is also easy. To do this we'll create two test methods - one testing even numbers and one testing odd numbers. In both tests we'll assert that a RenderViewResult was returned, and then verify that the correct "Message" string was passed within the ViewData associated with the view: <br /> <br />We can then right click on our NumberControllerTest class inside VS 2008 and choose the "Run Tests" menu item: <br /> <br />This will execute our three unit tests in-memory (no web-server required) and report back on whether our NumberController.IsEvenNumber() action method is performing the right behavior: <br /> <br />Note: with this week's source drop you still need to use mocking to test the TempData property on Controllers. Our plan is to not require mocking to test this with the ASP.NET MVC Preview 3 drop in a few weeks. <br />MapRoute Helper Method <br /> <br />URL routing rules within ASP.NET MVC applications are typically declared within the "RegisterRoutes" method of the Global.asax class. <br /> <br />With ASP.NET MVC Previews 1 and 2 routes were added to the routes collection by instantiating a Route object directly, wiring it up to a MvcRouteHandler class, and then by setting the appropriate properties on it to declare the route rules: <br /> <br />The above code will continue to work going forward. However, you can also now take advantage of the new "MapRoute" helper method which provides a much simpler syntax to-do the same thing. Below is the convention-based URL route configured by default when you create a new ASP.NET MVC project (which replaces the code above): <br /> <br />The MapRoute() helper method is overloaded and takes two, three or four parameters (route name, URL syntax, URL parameter default, and URL parameter regular expression constraints). <br /> <br />You can call MapRoute() as many times as you want to register multiple named routes in the system. For example, in addition to the default convention rule, we could add a "Products-Browse" named routing rule like below: <br /> <br />We can then refer to this "Products-Browse" rule explicitly within our Controllers and Views when we want to generate a URL to it. For example, we could use the Html.RouteLink view helper to indicate that we want to link to our "Products-Browse" route and pass it a "Food" category parameter using code in our view template like below: <br /> <br />This view helper would then access the routing system and output an appropriate HTML hyperlink URL like below (note: how it did automatic parameter substitution of the category parameter into the URL using the route rule): <br /> <br />Note: with this week's source drop you need to pass-in the controller and action parameters (in addition to the Category param) to the Html.RouteLink() helper to resolve the correct route URL to generate. The ASP.NET MVC Preview 3 drop in a few weeks will not require this, and allow you to use the Html.RouteLink call exactly as I've written it above to resolve the route. <br /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06211630762979334006' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06211630762979334006' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>abhinav</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/2008/05/aspnet-mvc-source-refresh-preview.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/2008/05/aspnet-mvc-source-refresh-preview.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2008-05-30T22:51:00-07:00'>10:51 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/453893733984747222/5148852180113826410' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1675921659'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=453893733984747222&postID=5148852180113826410&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/inline/content/image/353040.jpg?alt=2' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='453893733984747222' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='3560503683918747819' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='3560503683918747819'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/2008/05/australia-vs-west-indies-livepontings.html'>Australia vs West Indies Live!/Ponting’s genius ignores numbers game</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-3560503683918747819' itemprop='description articleBody'> <p class="news-subheading">West Indies v Australia, 2nd Test, Antigua, 1st day</p> <p class="news-title">Ponting's genius ignores numbers game</p> <p class="news-author"><br /></p> <p class="news-date"><br /></p> <p class="news-body"> </p><table class="pullquote" style="margin-top: 5px;" align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="320"> <tbody><tr> <td colspan="2" height="5"><br /></td> </tr> <tr><td height="1" width="10"><br /></td> <td class="photo"> <img align="top" alt="" border="1" hspace="1" src="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/inline/content/image/353040.jpg?alt=2" vspace="2" width="310" /><br /> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"> <tbody><tr> <td class="photo"> Ricky Ponting's 65 pushed him into the most elite group of Test run-scorers <nobr><span class="photo-copyright">© Getty Images</span></nobr><br /> </td></tr></tbody></table> </td></tr><tr> <td colspan="2"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p class="news-body"> Records seem easiest for the people who are the least concerned about them as thoughts of milestones don't sit annoyingly and teasingly in their minds. Years ago it seemed unbelievable that Ricky Ponting didn't know how highly history rated some of his deeds. </p><p class="news-body"> Whenever he walked in after play to discuss his latest hundred and was told of the great name he had just passed for runs or centuries, he'd look straight back and say: "I've never been one for stats." Usually he didn't know about the mark until one of the support staff had told him. It happened so often it had to be true. A man who has been ribbed by his team-mates for reading the Sydney grade cricket scores never knew when he was about to pass Waugh, Gavaskar or Bradman. </p><p class="news-body"> At the start of his career Steve Waugh was playing under the coach Bob Simpson, who would alert the players to any new milestones they had achieved. Under Waugh's captaincy history became a strong influence, pushing the team to smash records instead of breaking them. During the reign Australia achieved 16 wins in a row, Matthew Hayden raised a then-best 380 and Waugh finished his career in second on the list of Test run-makers with 10,927. </p><p class="news-body">The sense of numerical occasion didn't pass to Ponting. Calculations don't bother him as much as winning or spending a long time in the game. And in cricket there is always someone who is better - or more compulsive - with statistics. So the only reason Ponting knew he needed 61 runs in Antigua to reach what was once the fairytale of batting achievements was because one of the extended squad members had mentioned it. </p><p class="news-body"> When Ponting started his Test career only Allan Border and Sunil Gavaskar had reached five figures and 10,000 carried a magical quality. It was such a big deal to Border that in the same year he got there, with a single to mid-on off Carl Hooper at the SCG, he released his <i>Beyond Ten Thousand</i> autobiography. </p><p class="news-body"> Batsmen didn't get that far by mistake or by merely being good. Longevity was essential - Border and Gavaskar both played for 16 years - but so was regular, heavy run-scoring. Averaging more than 50 was a must. Ponting has done both in becoming the seventh player to the number. </p><p class="news-body"> He began with <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/63706.html">96 on debut</a> in Perth in 1995 and it took 13 years and another 117 matches to join the group. A two to cover from Ramnaresh Sarwan's occasional legspin lifted him out of the 9000s, but there was little fanfare. While Ponting said at stumps it was a nice milestone, he is happy letting everybody else make the fuss. </p><p class="news-body">Ponting is more proud of the many years he has spent in the national side, but in the quiet of his room the size of numbers must make him smile. In his public world, and in a team sense, Simon Katich's unbeaten 113 was more important than the captain's 65 on the opening day. Without Matthew Hayden, Australia needed a solid contribution and Katich provided it, allowing Ponting to leave for the hotel pleased with the side's position. </p><p class="news-body">Despite Katich working impressively on his first century since 2005, his innings will be overlooked by those outside the squad. Ponting, the newest 10,000 man, is now standing at an altitude reached only by the super elite. </p><p class="news-body"><i><br /></i></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06211630762979334006' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06211630762979334006' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>abhinav</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/2008/05/australia-vs-west-indies-livepontings.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/2008/05/australia-vs-west-indies-livepontings.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2008-05-30T22:35:00-07:00'>10:35 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/453893733984747222/3560503683918747819' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1675921659'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=453893733984747222&postID=3560503683918747819&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='453893733984747222' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='8051888283419491776' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='8051888283419491776'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/2008/05/let-s-compare-affiliate-marketing-with.html'>Let 's Compare Affiliate Marketing with Network Marketing</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-8051888283419491776' itemprop='description articleBody'> Affiliate marketing and network marketing are two different terms. This article I found explains the differences between the two terms-<br /><br />Affiliate marketing, Multi-Level Marketing networks, network marketing, multi-tier affiliate marketing, and others. If you are totally confused about the differences between them, then after reading this article, you have a much better understanding of what each means and which one is the best one for your business.<br /><br />A lot of people question if they be involved with affiliate marketing or network marketing. Of course, an affiliate marketer will most likely convince you that their type of marketing is the best way to go. However, If you ask a network marketer, he will tell you that theirs is the best option to consider of the two. Both programs have their advantages and disadvantages, but both of them can make you wealthier.<br /><br />Let 's discuss affiliate marketing first. This type of marketing requires selling products or services for someone else, and as a result , you would get some commission from each sale. The commission will often vary with each company you are selling for. In most cases, all you need to do is promote or advertise their particular product and your responsibility ends. Generally the owner of the product handles the shipping procedure, customer service and other similar services. Therefore you only have to worry about selling the product.<br /><br />Network marketing is a little different. With network marketing, you make money both on the sales that you make directly, but you also get paid when the people below you sell something. In this type of arrangement, the number of levels differs from company to company. The thought of making money on other people 's work most certainly appeals to many. This explains why network marketing is such a popular business.<br /><br />Up to this point it may seem that network marketing is sounds better than affiliate marketing. On the contrary however, when you look at the actual profit being made in both the cases, you will most likely find that it varies considerably. Typically profits are quite high when involved in affiliate sales.<br /><br />If you plan to make your network marketing successful, you would be required to do many more things, not just sell the product. You can only be profitable if you consistently motivate the people working below your level to make sales. In addition, you must teach them how to help the people under their level sell more. Therefore, your roll your involved in network marketing is to be a salesperson, teacher, as well as a motivator. So if you enjoy teaching, working with people, and inspiring them then network marketing is probably your area of interest.<br /><br />Affiliate marketing, unlike network marketing, will not depend on your ability to sway friends and family to invest their money by joining levels under you. You don't want to worry about having to motivate or teach other people how to make sales, so this might be a better choice for you.

The announcement was made at Sapphire 2008, SAP's customer conference in Berlin.<br /><br />As part of an initiative to "modernize its technology landscape," Bayer officials say, Bayer MaterialScience is currently replacing outdated legacy systems with standardized software. The company will integrate the SAP CRM application into its existing SAP Business Suite family of business applications.<br /><br />Currently, the software is being piloted in a three-month project, and will be rolled out to employees worldwide.<br /><br />Kurt De Ruwe, CIO, Bayer MaterialScience, said after a roll out to approximately 2,500 users throughout the company "800 will access SAP CRM directly from their mobile devices."<br /><br />The latest version of SAP CRM was launched in December 2007. Approximately 250 customers are currently using it, SAP officials say.<br /><br />Earlier this month Ballance Agri-Nutrients, a New Zealand fertilizer manufacturer and distributor, selected SAP to provide enterprise applications to replace its legacy system. The deal includes SAP ERP, Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06211630762979334006' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06211630762979334006' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>abhinav</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/2008/05/crm-from-sap-selected-by-bayer-division.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/2008/05/crm-from-sap-selected-by-bayer-division.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2008-05-27T22:55:00-07:00'>10:55 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/453893733984747222/9090539823612038362' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1675921659'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=453893733984747222&postID=9090539823612038362&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Saturday, May 24, 2008</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='453893733984747222' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='1997917019211840286' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='1997917019211840286'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-way-to-measure-blog-influence.html'>A New Way to Measure Blog Influence: Search Term Alignment</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-1997917019211840286' itemprop='description articleBody'> Hey PR people! Want to get bloggers to write about you or your products? Please, please, for all concerned — tear up your Technorati Top 100 list and start over. For most companies, 99 percent of overtures made to the “A” list bloggers will at best be ignored, and at worst could result in <a href="http://blogbusinesssummit.com/2006/09/another_story_o.htm">negative coverage.</a><br />We believe the best bet is to find approachable bloggers with the right topical alignment. The nice thing is that if you are topically aligned to a significant degree, even a relatively popular blogger can find your message of interest.<br />The key thing is to create a win-win scenario where the blogger being approached is actually glad to hear from you, and you know that if they write about you, someone will actually read it. We think a good way to do this is to find bloggers who are writing about things your customers are interested in, and have aligned posts that are prominent in search.<br />The main thing to recognize is that significant and <a href="http://searchengineoptimism.com/Google_refers_70_percent.html">growing numbers of shoppers</a> begin their buying process in a search engine. Anyone with a retail site can attest to the fact that their server logs show the bulk of their traffic is coming from search. Blog posts are featured prominently in results your customers are finding, and these are the bloggers to engage. Robert Scoble wrote recently that despite Twitter and Facebook it’s still <a href="http://scobleizer.com/2008/05/02/how-late-adopters-get-into-social-media/">“a Google world” </a>and we couldn’t agree more.<br />Here’s an example of how search term analysis can provide a numerical index of alignment with a company.<br />Let’s look at two bloggers that are not on the Technorati 100 and how they align with two very different companies.<br />Let’s start with <a href="http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/">Jeremiah Owyang.</a> He wrote a bit about influence today. Buzzlogic, a company perhaps using the old-world(?) “inbound-links-as-power” metaphor was <a href="http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2008/05/05/video-buzzlogic-tracks-and-measures-influence/%3Cbr%20/%3E">profiled</a>.<br />Jeremiah places highly (in the top 20) in Google for 7,900 unique search terms. The top 10 individual words used are: media, marketing, web, social, myspace, strategy, community, facebook, companies, and corporate.<br /><a href="http://thomashawk.com/">Thomas Hawk </a>places highly with 8,200 terms, the top ten being: camera, media, digital, windows, player, mce, store, center, connection, photo, and slr.<br />Do these blogs overlap at all? A little. They share 8 popular search terms between them:<br />That’s an alignment of about .1 percent.<br />Let’s look at a couple vendors who are buying Adwords search terms.<br /><a href="http://www.awarenessnetworks.com/home/">Awareness Networks </a>provides social networks to the enterprise. They’ve purchased 1,270 search terms. How many align with Thomas Hawk’s organic keywords? Zero. How many align with Jeremiah? 64. That’s an alignment of 5.04% Here those terms are:<br /><a href="http://www.digital-slr-guide.com/">Digital SLR Guide</a> teaches consumers how to buy and use digital SLR cameras. They’ve bought 708 search terms. How many align with Jeremiah? Zero. How many align with Thomas Hawk? 50. That’s an alignment of 7.06%. Here are the overlapping terms:<br />Our sense is that the terms we see here are compelling, and that alignment numbers (purchased terms/blogger organic terms) indicates both strength of “influence” (highly ranked organic terms) and topicality (shared terms).<br />We’re now starting to use search term analysis in an organized way to both measure influence and to do the needed “matchmaking” between clients and bloggers.

Work on this feature has been in progress for quite some time now. <a href="http://wordpress.org/pipermail/cvs_wordpress.org/2004-September/000375.html">Work started back in September</a>. Now the shape of things to come seems clear.<br />The next version of WordPress will have support for user-defined themes built in. Until now, WordPress used index.php and the comments-files in conjunction with a CSS stylesheet, to control the way it presented the content when published. All other pages, including the category and archive pages were actually generated by passing parameters to the index.php page. The introduction of the theme system does not mean that the old method of styling papges will not work. If you are upgrading from v1.2 or v1.2.1, users have the liberty to continue using their existing design, without switching to the new system. The new Theme system will provide a method for you to define different physical (.php) files for the different components of your weblog. Let us call each of the different physical *.php files a template. So, with the new theme system, you can define different templates for the category archives, the monthly archives, the individual-entry pages etc.<br />If, as a designer, WordPress user, or developer, you want to get a head start in creating themes, please visit the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development">Theme Development</a> page at the wiki. Now would be a good time to bring any concerns or suggestions you may have regarding the Theme System. You can leave comments at the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Talk:Theme_Development">Theme Development Discussion Page</a>, or discuss it in the <a href="http://wordpress.org/mailman/listinfo/hackers_wordpress.org">hackers mailing list</a> or the <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/6">beta discussion forum</a>. <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06211630762979334006' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06211630762979334006' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>abhinav</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-theme-system.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-theme-system.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2008-05-24T22:51:00-07:00'>10:51 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/453893733984747222/1810605896836763664' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1675921659'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=453893733984747222&postID=1810605896836763664&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> <div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'> <span id='blog-pager-newer-link'> <a class='blog-pager-newer-link' href='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-06-08T03:52:00-07:00&max-results=7&reverse-paginate=true' id='Blog1_blog-pager-newer-link' title='Newer Posts'>Newer Posts</a> </span> <a class='home-link' href='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/'>Home</a> </div> <div class='clear'></div> <div class='blog-feeds'> <div class='feed-links'> Subscribe to: <a class='feed-link' href='http://abhinavk365.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default' target='_blank' type='application/atom+xml'>Posts (Atom)</a> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> <div id='sidebar-wrapper'> <div class='sidebar section' id='sidebar'><div class='widget HTML' data-version='1' id='HTML15'> <h2 class='title'>Chttika</h2> <div class='widget-content'> <!-- You will NOT be able to see the ad on your site!
