Hey,
I am about to launch a information website in that I hope to make money from internet advertising. I am really new to advertising on the net and have a few questions.
First how do you prove how many hits your site gets? If someone wants to advertise on my site, surely just telling them how many hits I get isnt good enough, as I could be making up the total. So whats the general practice for this?
The second question is should I handle all the advertising myself? Do I just talk with the client, obtain a banner from them and charge them, all are there services out there that can help with this process?
Thanks very much for your time, would appreciate any feedback.
cheers.

I found a really useful tool the other day called Google Analytics - it takes data from your site such as who is visiting it, for how long, which pages, at what resolution and where etc etc - very detailed.
Sign up for an acconut - analytics.google.com - they always get flooded with requests, but it seems like they have enough now.
Hope that helps

I'd do both. Check out Google AdSense https://www.google.com/adsense/afc-online-overview[^] and also try to get your own advertisers, like CP does.

I have a problem with WebServices, I tried to learn about it from the MSDN and followed the following steps:
To create a Web service
1. Open Visual Web Developer.
2. On the File menu, click New Web Site.
The New Web Site dialog box appears.
3. Under Visual Studio installed templates, click ASP.NET Web Service.
4. Click Browse.
5. Click Local IIS.
6. Click Default Web Site.
7. Click Create New Web Application.
Visual Web Developer creates a new IIS Web application.
8. Type the name TemperatureWebService.
9. Click Open.
The New Web Site dialog box appears, with the name of the new Web site in the right-most Location list. The location includes the protocol (http://) and location (localhost). This indicates that you are working with a local IIS Web site.
10. In the Language list, click the programming language that you prefer to work in.
11. Click OK.
Visual Web Developer creates the new Web service and opens a new class named Service, which is the default Web service. However, in the following procedure you will create a new Web service with a specified name and you will not use the Service class.
12. Close the Service class.
The problem:
After I finish step no. 11 this message is displayed:
"Configuring website 'http://localhost/MyWebService' to ASP.NET 2.0 faild. You need to manually configure this site for ASP.NET 2.0 in order for your site to run correctly".
What should I do? Knowing that I have done the setup of the IIS.

Open the properties for the web application in the IIS manager, go to the ASP.NET tab and select framework 2.0.

Is it possible to create a system.data.datatable or dataset from an excel worksheet that is obtained using interop.excel in C#?
The code is as following. As you can see, I can read/modify certain cell, but is it possible to convert the table to a System.data.datatable? Or at least print out the select range in the excelworksheet? 
using System;
using Excel;
protected void OpenExcelSpreadSheet(string input)
{
Excel.Application excelApp = new Excel.ApplicationClass();
excelApp.Visible = false;
Excel.Workbook newWorkbook =
excelApp.Workbooks.Add(XlWBATemplate.xlWBATWorksheet);
// The following code opens an existing workbook
object Missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
string workbookPath= "myFile.xls";
Excel.Workbook excelWorkbook =
excelApp.Workbooks.Open(workbookPath,Missing,Missing,Missing,
Missing,Missing,Missing,Missing,Missing,Missing,Missing,Missing,Missing,Missing,Missing);
// The following gets the Worksheets collection
Excel.Sheets excelSheets = excelWorkbook.Worksheets;
// The following gets Sheet1 for editing
string currentSheet = "Sheet1";
Excel.Worksheet excelWorksheet = (Excel.Worksheet)excelSheets.get_Item(currentSheet);
// The following gets cell A1 for editing
Excel.Range excelCell = (Excel.Range)excelWorksheet.get_Range("A1", "A1");
excelCell.Value2 = input;
Excel.Range excelTable = (Excel.Range)excelWorksheet.get_Range("A1", "A27");
int noOfRow = excelTable.Rows.Count;
int noOfColumn = excelTable.Columns.Count;
Response.Write("Table has " + noOfRow + " rows and " + noOfColumn + " columns.
");
}

I still use Visual Interdev for web sites, as I know it well. My question is this - at what point should a database be used rather than a flat file? I ask this as I have found a flat file is much faster and requires fewer overheads, particularly when I only need to search through a few hundred items. I appreciate a database must be used where the data is large, but when do you reach this point? Say for example I need to hold names and addresses, where is the break point – 300, 1000, 5000 items?

If you want to change the data, a database is very helpful. If you use a flat file, you have to use some locking mechanism to ensure that noone reads the file while you are changing it. A database handles this automatically.
If you use a database you can normalize the data. That reduces redundancy in the data, which reduces the risk for inconsistencies.
A database already knows how to filter and sort the data, things that you have to build yourself if you use a flat file.
A database scales much better than a flat file. If you expect the number of records to grow, you should go for the scalability. Besides, the performance really isn't an issue until it's an issue... 
If you feel that you won't need any of these features, then you can stick to a flat file.

Don't laugh at me, but I've been curious for a while about how a forum like this saves the msgs/posts/articles? Do they use database or flat files?
Thanks!

Sorry, I did actually chuckle a little bit.
A database, of course.
I really didn't go into this much, as your application didn't seem complex enough to mention it:
If you have more than one type of object and/or objects that are related to each other (like users - message boards - postings - articles...), there is no question about it. You should use a database.

I might have gone off the topic. But if I wanna create something like outlook Calendar which can be shared online by a group of people, database is still a better choice, right? Thanks.

Hi Friends,
Can we use SOAP services in classical ASP? not in Asp.NEt
scenario being
let say we got 10 web sites among whic
some sites are in Classical ASP and some are in ASP.Net.
we want to built a centeralised login system for both ASP.Net and classical ASP sites.
and I dont want to open databse connections and stuff for those 10 sites.
My idea is making web services and use them.
Any idea or articale giving the solution is welcome.
thanks

You can - a webservice call is just a normal POST (or GET)...
the difficulty is that SOAP requires the data to be packaged in to an "envelope". It's not that hard to do, but you'll have a lot of string manipulation to do.
As an aside, if you think it'll help, there's a javascript client side soap lib article on CP somewhere

Hi,
I am getting below error below
Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
while trying open the project available from
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/DynamicForm.asp
does anyone have had similar problem before
thanks

Go to IIS right-click on your web page, select properties and click on the "Create application" button. That should fix the problem.

What css attribute do I add to make this image display at the top of the table? Does it matter what the actual size of the image is to answer this question or accomplish my task? I could look up the actual size of the image, but it is bigger than 100 x 100 px. The image currently is displaying in 1/2 way down the table cell.
<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3"><br />
<tr><br />
<td ><br />
<img src="xxx.jpg" style="width: 100px;height:auto;"/><br />An image<br />
</td><br />
</table><br />
I reviewed some CSS books and googled "images in tables" but cannot find the answer. It hopefully is simple answer?

Hi!
if you are deailing with IE 5.x or above the following style statements can solve your problem. Do not forget to adjust the cell's height and width according the size of the image. This statement places the image behind the cell. Therefore, you can add text or another image inside the cell as well.
I hope it workes out for you!

Simplest would be to make the td valigned : <td valign="top"><img></td>
