Mobile Phone Subscribers in North Korea Hit 70,000！

North Korea is a secretive country to most of us because people could not get information about North Korea direct from North Koreans.And what we get now is mostly information from agents.Recently I found an interesting report that North Koreans have got the right to own mobile phones.That's really interesting.

Here's the exact report I found! Hope you'd like it!

Demand for mobile phones in the secretive North Korea has continued to remain strong, with the sole mobile network in the country, koryolink reporting that its subscriber base had reached 69,261 at the end of September. It is presumed that the subscriber base would have passed the 70,000 mark by the end of October.

Koryolink is majority owned by Eygpt's Orascom Telecom.

koryolink established many precedents: the first of its kind Call Center was established to cater for customers' needs through highly trained bi-lingual agents. Additionally, despite the conservative nature of North Korea and the almost non-existent marketing and advertising industries, koryolink's launch was advertised in major newspapers and radio. koryolink also managed to avail different BTL materials (flyers, posters, danglers) to create awareness and for customer education.

In the 9 months ending September 30, 2009 koryolink reported revenues of US$18.5 as one of the handful joint venture companies in a strictly controlled socialist country. Over the same period koryolink reported an EBITDA of US$10 million with a margin of 54%.

In its focus on network roll-out and network quality improvement koryolink has invested a total of US$25 million in the nine months to September 2009. Currently, network roll-out to extend coverage to the whole country is in progress.

koryolink's retail network has started off with just the one centralized sales shop. However, by end of Q3, there are now three sales shops for selling the SIM card connection. Also capitalizing on the cooperation with the local partner Korea Post & Telecommunication Corp. (KPTC), 9 post office outlets where added to koryolink's indirect sales network for selling Scratch Cards in different locations with an aim of reaching customers' in different populated areas of Pyongyang. More indirect sales outlets will follow with the future expansion of network coverage in other cities.

I wish North Korea will be much more opener to the world and become a prosperous country.People there are really miserable and we should offer them some donations to help them.

China-------A land for money for people all over the world!

China is now more and more closely tied to the outside world,especially in economics and culture.You might not be doing business with Chinese,but there might be something from China around you.To me, China is a great land of opportunities because China products are cheap and their quality is not so bad.If you'd like to get some handcrafts from China.You couldn't be cheated and they are rare in the USA,nor EU market.That is to say, you could get many unbelievably great advantages in price.

If you are laid off or want to find something new,take a look at China,especially when you have never been to China before.Some of my friends are getting supplies from China and resell them in the US and are able to make at least $5000 a year.There are so many opportunities that you could dig up in China that if you are tired of your life in the US or the EU,just come to the Orient!
My friends, I'm very glad to present you a great world of opportunities.Leave me a comment if you'd like to get some answers to your questions!

Some precious Chinese traditional handcrafts!

Recently I have got a great love for Chinese traditional handcrafts. China is a great country because it has created so profound culture.Beside,there are so many unbelievably dedicated and precious handicrafts.
Chinese traditional handcrafts are different through China.Sometimes I even wonder if Bill Gates is able to afford to buy the whole series of Chinese traditional handcrafts.More and more Chinese traditional handcrafts are flowing out of China to places all over the world.And they are now being collected by many overseas collectors.I think it's not a bad idea to collect some Chinese traditional handcrafts when you'd like to collect something for fun or money.

Please leave your comment if you are interested in Chinese traditional handcrafts! I might be able to help you!

My view on Adwords and Adsense

1. Introduction
AdWords and AdSense are both Google’s commercialized solution of disseminating advertisements online. AdWords offers pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, and site-targeted advertising for both text and banner ads on Google’s website whilst AdSense has the similar functions in the content network which the owner intend to cooperate with Google on ads.
The AdWords was launched in 2000 and became more standardized in 2005 after the Google Advertising Professional (GAP) Program. Besides, the technology of AdSense, which operates like a subset of AdWords, originally derived from WordNet, Simpli, and finally be acquired by Google in 2003. Nowadays, it becomes Google’s flagship advertising service and the main source of revenue which is 98% of Google’s total revenue $16.4 billion in 2007.
The AdWords/AdSense works in the following way.
For advertisers:
First, advertisers do a registration to Google and choose proper keywords, placements or both of them as their AdWords. Then, advertisers should choose an AdGroup (a group of advertisers have same keywords) to join in. After ranking by Google’s AdWords server, Google disseminate the ads to search network and content network. The positions of ads are shown based on the ranking results.
For internet users:
AdWords: After internet users searched keywords on Google’s search engine, Google’s server returns search results together with the ads which appear on the top and the side bars.
AdSense: Webmasters create their web pages with a piece of Javascript code, which create the relationship between web masters’ web pages and Google’s AdWords Server, in flexible position. After internet users make a request for the page, this piece of code can get ads from Google’s AdWords Server and return the page together with ads which is related to the content of this web page.
2. AdWord/AdSense Ranking Mechanism
Ads are positioned on search and content pages based on their Ad Rank. The ad with the highest Ad Rank appears in the first position, and so on down the page. The ranking is based not only the cost-per-click or content bid, which is referred to Generalized Second-Price Auction, but also the ‘Quality Score’, which is a dynamic variable calculated for each keywords. Different types of AdWords have different calculation of the ‘Quality Score’.
a) Keyword-targeted ads on Google and the search network
Ad Rank = CPC bid × Quality Score
The ‘Quality Score’ is calculated by historical click through rate (CTR) of the keyword and the matched ad on Google, an advertiser's account history, the historical CTR of the display URLs in the ad group, the relevance of the keyword to the ads in its ad group, the relevance of the keyword and the matched ad to the search query, and other relevance factors as determined by Google.
b) Keyword-targeted ads on the content network
Ad Rank = content bid × Quality Score
The ‘Quality Score’ is calculated by the ad's past performance on the site in question, the relevance of the ads and keywords in the ad group to the site, a landing page quality and other relevance factors.
c) Placement-targeted ads on the content network
Ad Rank = bid × Quality Score
The Quality Score for determining if a placement-targeted ad will appear on a particular site depends on the campaign's different types of bidding. If the campaign uses cost-per-thousand-impressions (CPM) bidding, Quality Score is based on the quality of your landing page. If the campaign uses cost-per-click (CPC) bidding, Quality Score is based on the historical CTR of the ad on this and similar sites and the quality of your landing page
Quality Score is calculated every time your keyword matches a search query. i.e. Every time your keyword has the potential to trigger an ad. So it ensures that quality plays an important role in ranking and a fairly competition.
3. “Generalized Second-Price” auction
The GSP auction is used by search engines (Google & Yahoo) for selling online advertising and for multi-slot auction as their bidding mechanism. Advertisers submit bids stating their maximum payment per click on a certain keyword and the advertiser win the slot i pays the price of slot i+1 plus a minimum increment. It may become Vickrey auction when there is only one slot available. There is not best dominate strategy include true-telling in GSP because advertisers must consider whether the payoff in the auction is reasonable.
4. Summary
AdWords and AdSense changes the mode of advertisements from all audiences online to a certain group audiences who really concerned about these ads which Google provided. It relies on its complex fairly ranking mechanism. Nowadays, more and more search engines implement their ads server and operate the similar way of Google’s AdWords and AdSense.
