Notability date December 2008 Infobox Software name Image Zoom developer Jason Adams latest release version 0.4.6 latest release date December 26, 2010 operating system Cross platform license GNU General Public License GPL genre Image viewer Image browsing website http www.imagezoom.yellowgorilla.net www.imagezoom.yellowgorilla.net Firefox TOC Image Zoom is an list of Firefox extensions extension for all Gecko layout engine Gecko based web browsers. Image Zoom allows the user to change image sizes within a web page. There are several ways the user can zoom images through the interface as well as the ability to zoom single images or an entire page of images. Image zoom is also a term used for displaying a higher resolution zoomed image upon mouseover or mouseclick of an image on a webpage. This effect has been achieved using Java, ActiveX and more recently JavaScript. The first example of image zoom for web pages to be commercially distributed was created by Tonny Espeset of Norway in 1999, using a Java applet which was supported in all web browsers and on all computer platforms. ActiveX has also been used for image zoom but compared to Java and JavaScript, it has been limited to Windows web browsers only, and not been popular. The advantage that JavaScript holds over all other zoom applications is that it does not require a plugin Java can be considered a plugin and is supported across all browsers and platforms theoretically . However the same Java applet that was written in 1999 is still supported in all browsers despite the many changes to web browsers and Java support since, which is something that cannot be said about JavaScript.

Refimprove date February 2007 Keyword advertising refers to any advertising that is linked to specific words or phrases. Common forms of keyword advertising are known by many other terms including pay per click PPC and cost per action CPA . There are multiple variations each starting with pay per or cost per such as pay per action PPA , pay per cost PPC , cost per mille CPM . It is believed that Yahoo first made available targeted keyword advertising to its customers. In 1996, Chip Royce, head of online marketing for InterZine Productions of Boca Raton, Florida, approached Yahoo s sales agent Flycast Communications suggesting ads around keyword results to provide a more effective, targeted advertising within Yahoo s search results. Yahoo obliged placing targeted ad banners when the keyword Golf was searched by Yahoo users. Yahoo later turned this opportunity into a formal marketing program for its entire customer base and promoted this in a July 1996 article in the now defunct Internet World magazine. Google AdWords is the most well known form of keyword advertising. Google displays search ads specifically targeted to the word s typed into a search box. These keyword targeted ads also appear on content sites based on Google s system s interpretation of the subject matter on each page of the site. This is known as contextual advertising . Other search engines offering keyword advertising include Yahoo Search Marketing , Microsoft AdCenter , Looksmart , Miva FindWhat and e Spotting are now part of Miva , and many others. A less common type of keyword advertising hyper links individual words within the text of a page to small pop ups displayed by mouseover . Advertising of this type is offered by Kontera , Vibrant Media, and LinkWorth. Kontera s version is named ContentLink, Vibrant Media s version is called IntelliTXT and LinkWorth s version is called LinkWords. They refer to their product as in text placement.
