Launching: Visit Indonesia Year 2008

The Indonesian Culture and Tourism Ministry has launched "Visit Indonesia Year (VIY) 2008" in an effort to attract more foreign tourists to the country, December 29, 2007. Indonesian Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik officially declared the start of VIY 2008 at a function in the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) on Wednesday night, the report said.

It is projected that 7 million foreign tourists will visit Indonesia during the VIY 2008, and the VIY 2008 was aimed at improving the people's welfare through the development of the tourism sector, the report quoted the minister as saying. Jero Wacik said although the tourist arrivals in Indonesia in 2006 was 5.5 million less than its target of 6 million, he was still optimistic that the 7 million target for 2008 would be reached.

"We have prepared more than 100 events across the country in a bid to increase the foreign tourist arrivals," Jero Wacik said before striking a gong marking the commencement VIY 2008. He called all tourism business people and the public in general to become a good host by being hospitable, help maintain security, and keep their regions clean.

Jero Wacik said his office has prepared 15 million U.S. dollars which will be used to promote the VIY 2008 all over the world, among others, through advertisements on overseas TV stations.

Guide : The AdSense Advertising

Before I start, I was hoping to bring you some figures on thenumber of users who own a scroll-mouse, or at least some recentsales statistics. While I haven't yet found that data, I can saythat I did find that the scroll-mouse (especially optical) areamong the most popular because of the ease it offers inscrolling documents.

With that in mind, the "Adsense Scroll Mouse Theory" goessomething like this:
People scroll a webpage in mainly two different ways: A) Theyare browsing quickly and looking for something to catch theireye, or B) They are reading a document where their scrolling ismuch slower and paced. When a user scrolls the page, there arenatural breaks which occur due to limited finger movement. Basedon the two kinds of scrolling, finger movements and the factthat eye-level content gets the most visibility, an estimate canbe made (in pixels) which determines where the majority of thesebreaks occur at eye-level.

In this experiment, I recorded results from 10 differentscroll-mouse users to measure their scrolls in pixels, based ontwo different scrolling habits.

A) Fast browsing - the average mouse scroll is 600-700 pixelsvertically, meaning when the user pauses, their eye-level fallswithin the 600-700 pixels range on the page (from the top of thedocument, not the browser). They scroll and stop, scroll andstop. They have no choice.

B) Slow browsing - the average slow mouse scroll is 400-460pixels vertically (scrolling in smaller chunks while reading),meaning that they pause at eye level every 400-460 pixelsvertically. As they read a section, they usually start to scrollbringing more content up into their immediate eye-level.

Considering these two key mouse scrolling behaviours, it wouldmake sense to place ads exactly at these points, or use anoverall average to concentrate ads within every 400-700 verticalpixels on the page. The best
fit would be a 336x280 ad block asit catches both ends of the slow & fast scroll.

You might be wondering about people using a browser's scrollbarinstead of a scroll-mouse. With a browser's scrollbar, fastscrolling habits either stopped at around the 2000 pixel mark(for very long pages equal to just slightly more than half-waydown a page) or the bottom of the page. For slow scrollinghabits, the pauses occurred at eye-level about every 400-460pixels, just as with a scroll-mouse.

The consistency in slow mouse & slow browser scrolling habitswould leave you to assume that Adsense ads placed around the400-460 mark might be something worth testing on your ownwebsite.

But consider this too: Initial eye-level on a webpage issomewhere around the 200-231 pixel mark. You could try placingads at this point, the 400-460 mark, and then at the 600-700mark. This way you are getting immediate visibility with the topads first presented when the page loads, caching slow readers asthey scroll, and catching fast scrollers too. The only groupyou'd have a problem slowing down are the ones using browserscrollbars. Images used next to Adsense ads can help catch theirattention, especially if the page has a lot of text.

Now it's very likely someone else has already thought of thisand it's already been discussed to death. I haven't foundanything related to it. Everything here is really just theory,but something I plan to test myself using live test subjects (itsounds cooler than 'search users') and will post results as theycome.
