It looks like they have a totally separate integration, using there own "content sensitive advertising" application. The good news is that this type of advertising will work with Nutch (or any other search engine). The bad news is I'm not aware of any open source application that will provide the actual engine behind it. In terms of ideas... If you can create your own, it should have little (or no) direct integration with Nutch code other then possibly in the JSP files. You could take the Nutch served page, with possible HTML place holder tags in it then run it through this not-yet-made application. It could parse it, find relevant words, then match it up with ads to be displayed. The ads are then imported into these place holders to be displayed. This is basically what Google does using some simple Java-script code that reports the actual page served, since all the pages are hosted remotely. I guess if you only want it based on the search term, and nothing else you could create a PHP front end with an include to the Nutch search results. While the search page is being worked on, you could have your own application find relevant ads based on the search term. When both tasks are done, the PHP page displays the ads and the search results to the requester.
I know these ideas are not great, and very vague but I think the integration of ads into Nutch search results is easy. Its just you will need to build a totally separate application that will handle everything else, which is basically "everything". ----- Original Message ---- From: Hetal Shah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 9, 2007 6:35:35 AM Subject: RE: Nutch and adsense integration Thanks for the response Sean. I have gone through OpenAds, but not sure whether it allows custom advertiser / keyword integration. It looks more like a "multi-advertiser" management tool, i.e. where you can manage various ad companies like valueclick, google, YPN, etc. under one interface. I'll give you an example of what I'm looking for. Look at: http://www.indeed.com and do a search on there. On the search results page, you'll see a "google style" sponsored links. Now, go to: https://ads.indeed.com/ You'll see that they have a registration process that allows individual "advertisers" to register and create "keyword" campaigns like google. I have seen their admin interface, and it's a virtual copy of what google have on their admin section, but a watered down version. So that's what I was hoping to create / integrate with nutch, if possible. Now, I'm not sure whether this is part of the google service or a separate integration. Any ideas?? -----Original Message----- I use Google AdSense with Nutch search results. If you use this, you will have little control over the advertisers on your site. You have the option to setup block filters, but you definitely wont have something like a administrative back-end for your clients. This is all managed by Google. I think something like this might be a little closer to what your looking for, it allows for such back-end: http://www.openads.org/. This open source application allows you to integrate AdSense into it, but you still wont have the fine-grained control you looking (hoping) for. ----- Original Message ---- I know there has been a posted about this before, but what I'm after is - well, something of a step by step process of how to integrate adsense into the nutch search results page? Ideally, I'd want an advertiser admin section for clients to manage their ads, and the adsense results being displayed on the front end. Anyone done this before, and is there like a step by step integration process I could follow? Thanks in advance. Hetal
