About "Advertising in New Media" project

  In this post I will talk about the group project in the CIS 3810 class that I am involved in. The project is about "Advertising in New Media". We are going to focus on advertisement in social network websites like Facebook,Tweeter and Youtube as well as corporate online tv and blogs.
 The part of the project that I am responsible for is Blog advertising. It is the newest and maybe one of the best ways to promote what you sell and get higher in search engines.Often when you read a blog now, you can see small advertisements at the side of the blog. These are the blog advertisements, and they contain a link to the advertisers' websites. Affiliate ads are probably the most well-know form of blog advertising. You sign up to be a part of an affiliate program, and they place different ads on your site. Usually this form of  is a pay-per-action or pay-per-sale form of payout. The other way of blog advertising is when a company pays a person to write a journal about their product and in this blog, he talks about his experience with the product.

Champions League quarter-final draw

The draw chose Chelsea FC v Manchester United FC, FC Internazionale Milano v FC Schalke 04, Real Madrid CF v Tottenham Hotspur FC and FC Barcelona v FC Shakhtar Donetsk.
Holders FC Internazionale Milano will meet FC Schalke 04 in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals after the draw.
Sir Alex Ferguson's team denied Chelsea a first European Champion Clubs' Cup in a dramatic penalty shoot-out in Moscow three years ago, and the London club will have a shot at revenge next month. While Chelsea are reigning English champions, United currently lead them by nine points in the Premier League and have history on their side in the competition having been crowned Europe's finest three times.
The Inter-Schalke encounter has fewer precedents, but having required a late goal to edge out FC Bayern München in the round of 16 the Nerazzurri will not take German opposition lightly. Older fans will need no reminder that the teams have met at the business end of a major European competition before, Schalke beating Inter in Italy in the 1997 UEFA Cup final on penalties.
Nine-time trophy winners Real Madrid CF will come up against Tottenham Hotspur FC in their first quarter-final since 2003/04, after Cristiano Ronaldo's wish that "maybe it would be better to come up against Barcelona further down the line" was granted.
The Spanish rivals could yet face off in the last four, however, as the winners of their tie will take on whichever side prevails between FC Barcelona and quarter-final debutants FC Shakhtar Donetsk.
Quarter-final draw (5/6 and 12/13 April)
Real Madrid CF (ESP) v Tottenham Hotspur FC (ENG)
Chelsea FC (ENG) v Manchester United FC (ENG)
FC Barcelona (ESP) v FC Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR)
FC Internazionale Milano (ITA) v FC Schalke 04 (GER)
Semi-final draw (26/27 April and 3/4 May)
1: Inter/Schalke v Chelsea /Manchester United
2: Madrid/Tottenham v Barcelona/Shakhtar
Final (28 May, Wembley)
Winner semi-final 2 v Winner semi-final 1
