A more complex database could be used to store the data that you need to run your company, e.g. supplier, customer, stock and order details.<br /><br />Database Jargon<br />If you have never used a database before, you might not have encountered some of the database terminology that we will use in this book. Here are brief definitions of the terms you will come across.<br /><br />Table: All the data on one topic is stored in a table. A table could contain details of the employees that work for your company. In a simple database, you might have only one table. More complex ones may consist of several tables. <br /><br />Record: The data for a single item in a table is held in that item’s record. Using the employee table example, each employee would have their own record within the employee table.<br /><br />Field: A field is a piece of information within a record e.g. in your employee table, things like surname, job title, date of birth, or salary grade.<br /><br />Field name: The label, or name, given to a field.<br /><br />Primary key: A special field that will contain a unique piece of information in each record e.g. StaffID.<br /><br />Relationship: A relationship is used to link two tables through a common field.<br /><br />Join: The process of linking two tables is often referred to as joining them.<br /><br />Data definition: The process of defining, or describing, the data to be stored. This will involve specifying the data type (text, number, date), the field size, and how it is related to other tables.<br /><br />Data manipulation: This term describes any work done on existing data within your tables. Sorting and extracting data and producing reports from it would all be examples of data manipulation.<br /><br />Enjoy it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767572274453275409.post-12690709718010976262008-07-28T10:07:00.000+07:002008-07-28T10:11:37.624+07:00SQL CommandsBelow, given some Common SQL Command.

The mandate to clearly identify, measure, manage, and control risk has been expanded and integrated into best practice management of a bank. Today's risk manager is a key member of the senior executive team who helps define business opportunities from a risk-return perspective, presents unique ways of looking at them, has direct input into the configuration of products and services, and ensures the transparency of all the risks. Innovation necessitates new yardsticks for measuring and monitoring the resulting activities. The savvy corporate leader uses risk management as both a sword and a shield. <br />At the end of the last millennium, financial institutions and investors experienced increased volatility in the major financial and commodity markets, with many financial crises. At the start of the new millennium, we are in the midst of a technological revolution resulting in changes in the operation of markets, increased access to information, changes in the types of services available to investors, as well as major changes in the production and distribution of financial services.<br />If there is concern about an institution's ability to manage risk, then its share price will be penalized.<br />Risk is a cost of doing business for a financial institution and consequently best practice risk management is a benefit to our shareholders. To manage the risks facing an institution we must have a clearly defined set of risk policies and the ability to measure risk. But what do we measure? And how do we measure such risks? We must also have a best practice infrastructure. The starting point is that we need a framework.<br />This book provides such a framework. The content of the book is consistent with our own risk management strategy and experience. Our risk management strategy is designed to ensure that our senior management operates together in partnership to control risk while ensuring the independence of the risk management function. Improvements in analytic models and systems technology have greatly facilitated our ability to measure and manage risk. However, the new millennium brings new challenges. There are risks that we can identify and measure and there is the uncertainty of the unknown. The challenge facing risk managers is to minimize the consequences of the unknown. This book should help all risk and business managers address the issues arising from risk and uncertainty.<br /><br />And you will get further information, please read this book:<br /><br />Risk Management<br />By: <br />Michel Crouhy<br />Dan Galai<br />Robert Mark<br /><br />Mc Graw-Hill BookUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767572274453275409.post-28727092405803263542008-07-25T16:39:00.000+07:002008-07-25T16:40:30.293+07:00WHAT IS ECONOMETRICS?Literally interpreted, econometrics means “economic measurement.” Although measurement is an important part of econometrics, the scope of econometrics is much broader, as can be seen from the following quotations: Econometrics, the result of a certain outlook on the role of economics, consists of the application of mathematical statistics to economic data to lend empirical support to the models constructed by mathematical economics and to obtain numerical results.<br /><br />Econometrics may be defined as the quantitative analysis of actual economic phenomena based on the concurrent development of theory and observation, related by appropriate methods of inference.<br /><br />Econometrics may be defined as the social science in which the tools of economic theory, mathematics, and statistical inference are applied to the analysis of economic phenomena.<br />Econometrics is concerned with the empirical determination of economic laws.<br /><br />The art of the econometrician consists in finding the set of assumptions that are both sufficiently specific and sufficiently realistic to allow him to take the best possible advantage of the data available to him.<br />Econometricians are a positive help in trying to dispel the poor public image of economics (quantitative or otherwise) as a subject in which empty boxes are opened by assuming the existence of can-openers to reveal contents which any ten economists will interpret in 11 ways.<br />The method of econometric research aims, essentially, at a conjunction of economic theory and actual measurements, using the theory and technique of statistical inference as a bridge pier.<br /><br />METHODOLOGY OF ECONOMETRICS<br /><br />How do econometricians proceed in their analysis of an economic problem?<br />That is, what is their methodology? Although there are several schools of thought on econometric methodology, we present here the traditional or classical methodology, which still dominates mpirical research in economics and other social and behavioral sciences.<br />Broadly speaking, traditional econometric methodology proceeds along the following lines:<br /><br />1. Statement of theory or hypothesis.<br />2. Specification of the mathematical model of the theory<br />3. Specification of the statistical, or econometric, model<br />4. Obtaining the data<br />5. Estimation of the parameters of the econometric model<br />6. Hypothesis testing<br />7. Forecasting or prediction<br />8.

PPC is defined as the guaranteed placement of a small "ad" on the search results page for a specific keyword or keywords in return for a specified payment, but ONLY when a visitor clicks on that ad. The advertiser pays nothing to appear on the results page; they only pay the amount they have agreed to (or bid for) when someone actually clicks on their ad and is taken to their landing page; therefore, the term "pay per click".<br />A PPC listing on a search engine results page typically consists of a title, which usually is your website's name or perhaps a short heading (around 50 characters maximum) and also a short (usually no more than 200 characters long) description of your service or some promotional wording. Some PPC search engines strictly control the text that can appear in the listing, while others are more open to using the advertiser's own text.<br />Basic Steps to a Constructing a Pay-Per-Click Campaign<br />The first step in putting together a PPC campaign is to decide your budget and what level of risk you are willing to take, for both will affect which PPC search engine you ultimately choose. As one would expect, the larger properties are less risky endeavors, since they already have excellent market coverage and tend to offer a lot of assistance to their users, but they also are the most expensive in terms of the amount of money you must spend to acquire a top ranking based on a specific keyword or group of keywords.<br />There are plenty of free, independent tools available to help you in your research of keywords which will tell you the current bid price for certain words or phrases on the different PPC search engines.<br />Once you have decided upon which PPC search engine you are going to use, have put together you ad, and decided the keywords you wish to have your ad appear under, register with the search engine, fill out the necessary information to open an account, and then begin the bidding process for the keywords you have decided upon.<br />When you first register your keywords with the search engine you have chosen (and some large businesses will have upwards of thousands of keywords they use), you will also specify the maximum amount you are willing to bid for those keywords. The price of a keyword can range anywhere from 1 cent to $10 or more, depending upon its popularity as a search term and the search engine itself.<br />Key Tips to Keep in Mind While Running a Pay-Per-Click Campaign<br />There is sometimes fierce competition for specific keyword(s) on a given PPC search engine. Most PPC search engines automate the bidding process for you (stopping of course when they reach the maximum bid you have indicated), but personal involvement and the judicious use of third-party tools by the user is advisable to ensure that the tracking mechanisms built into the search engine's control panel are in sync with what is actually happening.<br />The business that bids the highest amount of money for a specific keyword will be ranked first in the PPC results, the second-highest bidder will be ranked second, etc. Typically, PPC search engines limit the number of PPC ads on a results page to less than 10, and research has shown that unless you are in the first 3 or 4 of the PPC ads, you are much less likely to be investigated by visitors.<br />Because the competition is so fierce in this market right now, most PPC search engines do not require a minimum amount of money be invested in a campaign - in fact, some will even give you a nominal amount of money to begin your campaign with. Some may require a deposit of a small amount (in the neighborhood of $25 to $50), but this money is then applied to your account.<br />Be sure to check out the fine print in the agreement to be clear on minimums required, deposits required, what happens if you decide to cancel your campaign. Be prepared to spend a fair amount of time monitoring your campaign in the beginning.<br />Is a Pay-Per-Click Campaign the Right Investment for my Business?<br />Because of the fierce competition in the pay-per-click market, it can be relatively easy and inexpensive to give PPC a try. PPC search engines offer varying amounts of support and some are easier to use than others, but the opportunity to ensure placement of your ad without necessarily investing a large amount of your marketing dollar, makes PPC an extremely attractive option and one that few business owners should completely ignore as a potential marketing technique.<br />To help you, a multitude of tools have been developed to automatically monitor and bid, track your Return on Investment (ROI), craft your PPC ads, and help you choose alternate keywords that may be just as effective but cost much less on the particular PPC search engine they wish to use.<br />Although there are hundreds of PPC search engines on the Internet, there is a core group of 5 to 10 PPC search engines that because of size, brand name, and reputation are the preferred choices for most PPC ad campaigns. These major properties are now experimenting with many variations on the basic premise, including the ability to use PPC on a local basis, extending it from keywords to context and behavior of users, offering their versions of tools that help make the process easier especially for the novice, and decreasing the amount of time it takes to see results from your campaign from hours to minutes.<br />Once you've mastered the basics of PPC and have learned more about the options, tools, and search engines that offer this form of marketing, you will be in a position to fine tune your campaigns and perhaps try some of the niche-market PPC search engines, which offer lower keyword costs and may be more suited to your product/service.<br />Keep in mind that even companies with experience in online marketing struggle with the intricacies of the techniques needed to judge which PPC search engine to use and how best to play the bidding game.<br />And so we come to the bottom line - PPC sounds like a great option, but what does it really cost and is it worth it for my specific business? Each campaign is different, depending upon the bid amounts, number of actual click throughs and the Return on Investment (ROI) generated.<br />Our main goal at Pay Per Click Universe is to help educate you to make the best choices by offering free, totally unbiased reviews of PPC search engines and the tools designed to be used in conjunction with the PPC process, both to help you with understanding the process and to evaluate its usefulness to you as a marketing tool.<br />Now that we’ve explained the process a little more in depth, take a look at our reviews and use the information we have provided to help you plan a campaign or fine tune your current campaigns to get the most from the marketing dollars you choose to place in what we consider to be a very competitive, efficient, and effective means of Internet marketing – the pay-per-click search engine marketplace.<br /><br />(Taken from: payperclickuniverse.com)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767572274453275409.post-2677605187442681992008-07-25T16:26:00.000+07:002008-07-25T16:27:37.436+07:00Why should you outsource your Pay-Per-Click campaign to an agency?8 reasons for outsourcing pay-per-click campaigns<br /><br />Here are eight reasons why you should consider outsourcing your Pay-Per-Click campaign to an experienced agency;<br /><br />• Pay-Per-Click agencies share special relationships with the search engines, allowing them to upload data quicker and resolve issues faster with premium account managers. This prioritised service provides better results for the agencies.<br />• Most agencies have internally developed bespoke toolsets allowing them to optimise their campaigns and achieve a better return-on-investment. Agencies are constantly adjusting their campaigns and have the knowledge to respond to any data shifts, whereas many marketers may not.<br />• Pay-Per-Click is what agency staff live and breathe day-in, day-out. PPC professionals continuously beta test new tools and are the first to know about the latest software (and are often first to utilise it for their campaigns).<br />• Pay-Per-Click specialists use the latest bid-management software to ensure all keyphrases are performing well at a low cost-per-click.<br />• On average agencies achieve better click-through-rates than marketers, with agencies at 3.4% and marketers at 2.8% [1]<br />• Agencies can provide comprehensive reporting and ROI analysis.<br />• Pay-Per-Click achieves higher conversion rates, for both Search Engine Optimisation and Pay-Per-Click in particular, with agencies achieving an average of 6.8% and marketers achieving 5.4%.

The concept is easy to grasp--visitors travel to your sites in search of certain content on their topic of interest. If they see advertisements directly related to those content desires, they are far more likely to click on the ads than if they encounter only tangentially related material or, in a worst case scenario, ads that are not even related to their interests. As such, it is in your best interests to make sure your site displays relevant ads. Here are few tips for improving your content relevancy to produce more accurately targeted contextual advertising from Adsense.FIRST THINGS FIRST. Before you even begin to use Adsense as a monetization tool, make sure there are relevant ads for your site or pages. In most cases, you will have determined this long before you even embarked on site design or content development. However, if you are thinking of adding Adsense to an existing site built with other monetization strategies originally in mind, you may not have bothered checking to see if other advertisers were going after that particular market. Be sure you are addressing a topic for which ads exist in sufficient quantity. If related advertising is sparse, it will difficult to avoid irrelevant ads.KEYWORDS MATTER. You do not want content that is overstuffed with particular keywords to point of destroying readability and value, but you do want to make sure your materials make liberal use of on-topic keywords likely to spawn the most relevant possible ads. Experts maintain that using keywords with your titles and H1 tags is an excellent way to assist in getting the most relevant possible ads. This has added advantages in terms of search engine optimization, as well.METATAGS. Once upon a time, metatags were a critical aspect of search engine optimization in general. Although the engines rely upon metatags far less than they once did, there is some evidence to suggest that using ad-triggering keywords in your pages’ meta-tags may increase the relevance of the advertisements displayed. This strategy may help, and it certainly cannot hurt.LOOK FOR LACKLUSTER CONTENT. Many sites to a great job of supplying content related to particular themes or keywords in the main portion of a page, but have sidebars, headers and footers filled with less targeted terms and material. Take a long look at your navigational elements and other "side of the page" text and remove keyword terminology that may be leading to irrelevant ad service. Alternatively, you can use Adsense’s section targeting tool to remove those areas from Adsense’s consideration completely, so long as you do not plan to display ad blocks or ad link units in those areas.TIGHT THEMING. You want to keep content tightly themed. That means you do not want to feature long, rambling articles that cover multiple topics. Instead, rely upon materials that address singular issues. You also do not want to feature multiple chunks of content on disparate matters on the same page for that very same reason. The value of tight theming may extend past individual pages. Many publishers argue that Adsense tends to reward tightly-themed overall sites with more relevant ads, as well. Even though this aspect of theming is not as well researched and proven, it makes sense to follow the practice, because of the search engine optimization advantages of having a focused site.BLOCK THE BAD ADS. Monitor your site regularly and take note when irrelevant ads appear. Then, take the time to add them to your blacklist for the site. Google does give you the ability to block individual ads via the Competitive Ad Filter. If you block out commonly served irrelevant ads, you may improve your chances of featuring more ads upon which your visitors will actually click.The more contextually relevant the ads appearing on your site are, the more clicks you can expect to see. As such, it is important to make an effort to use a combination of proven SEO methods that also work well with Adsense and some program-specific maneuvers to secure the best possible ads on your site.<br /><br />Source :http://earns-adsense.blogspot.com/search/label/Earn%20Money%20From%20AdsenseUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767572274453275409.post-13472369691322750762008-07-25T15:46:00.001+07:002008-07-25T15:46:31.254+07:00Five Simple Techniques To Earn Money Online With An Affiliate ProgramIf you have a website without any products or services to sell – simply endorse others' products using your website and earn money online.

When a person enters a site, you have only a couple of seconds to catch her. The site must be well organized and have the right look and feel in order to make visitors stay and take action.<br /><br />Make sure that your site leads the visitors to the Buy button without hassle. Invite them to take action (such as making a purchase), and don't let them off the hook once you have their interest. This is called conversion.<br /><br />Taking action must be easy!<br />Create great content<br /><br />Good looks aren't enough. For your site to generate income, it needs to accomplish two things:<br /><br /> * Attract a lot of visitors (traffic)<br /> * Make visitors purchase (conversion)<br /><br />This is primarily done by filling your site with really good content and good usability. It should be relevant for the visitors, and it should encourage them to purchase from your merchants (marketing).<br />Search engine optimization<br /><br />If you have chosen to attract mainly organic traffic, that is, through the search engines, the content also needs to be search engine optimized (SEO).<br />Rule the net with good SEO copy<br /><br />Search engines pay more and more attention to text quality. Relevant and well-written text doesn't only wins your readers' heart, it helps you rank in Google and drives traffic to your site.<br /><br />Write for your readers - and for Google. It's called SEO copy.<br />Advertise and build traffic<br /><br />Another way of attracting traffic is by paid ads and links. The main arena for this is called PPC (pay per click). You place an ad on another site and pays a small amount each time a visitor clicks on your ad.<br /><br />The biggest PPC market for affiliates today is Google Adwords. You decide how much you're willing to pay for each click and set a cap for your total spending - so there's no risk for cost explosions. Some web hosts give away free Adwords checks when you place your site with them.<br /><br />Notice that affiliate programs often limit where and how you're allowed to advertise their products - they don't want you to interfere with their own advertising.<br />Buying a site vs starting from scratch<br /><br />For private persons and small businesses, the easiest and least expensive way to start a new affiliate business is to set up a new domain and build a site from scratch. It requires time and effort, but your capital investment can be close to zero.<br /><br />If you have some resources and want things to happen fast, consider buying an existing site. Old sites may have a built-in credential with the search engines (page rank), and they may even have some traffic already. With the right actions, you can get an old site up in speed very fast.<br />Give luck a chance<br /><br />So, that's the short version of how to make big money as an affiliate. Successful affiliates can lead very nice lives, with lots of personal freedom and job satisfaction. Anyone with internet access can try their luck as an affiliate, but of course success is never certain.<br /><br />One thing is certain though: you cannot succeed if you don't try.<br /><br />Trying is easy, and it costs almost nothing. If you try and fail, what's the worst that can happen? This list shows the consequences of the worst case scenario:<br /><br /> * Nothing happens<br /><br />As you can see, this is pretty much the same as if you don't try =)<br />Top 10 affiliate programs<br /><br />If you've decided to give it a go, why not check out the top five money-generating affiliate programs all categories?

Choosing a niche involves several questions, such as which niche offers the biggest potential profits and which area you're genuinely interested in.<br /><br />Some affiliate markets turn over really big money, while others are much smaller. Making big money in a small niche isn't a given, of course.

While a mortgage in itself is not a debt, it is evidence of a debt. It is a transfer of an interest in land, from the owner to the mortgage lender, on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner of the real estate when the terms of the mortgage have been satisfied or performed. In other words, the mortgage is a security for the loan that the lender makes to the borrower.The term comes from the Old French "dead pledge," apparently meaning that the pledge ends (dies) either when the obligation is fulfilled or the property is taken through foreclosure.[1]In most jurisdictions mortgages are strongly associated with loans secured on real estate rather than other property (such as ships) and in some cases only land may be mortgaged. Arranging a mortgage is seen as the standard method by which individuals and businesses can purchase residential and commercial real estate without the need to pay the full value immediately. See mortgage loan for residential mortgage lending, and commercial mortgage for lending against commercial property.In many countries it is normal for home purchases to be funded by a mortgage. In countries where the demand for home ownership is highest, strong domestic markets have developed, notably in Spain, the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth of Australia and the United States<br /><br />source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MortgageUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767572274453275409.post-21523932390087549822008-07-25T15:17:00.000+07:002008-07-25T15:19:48.614+07:00Smoker RiskYou will lose a lot money if you smoke, illustration if you smoke one pack of cigarettes a day at $2.00 per pack, you spend $730 per year.
