(InfoWorld) - People are clicking more often on ads served up by Yahoo Inc.'s search engine since the company switched to a new ad-ranking system earlier this month, according to comScore Networks Inc., a firm that measures Web usage and traffic. The click-through rate on Yahoo's search ads increased 5 percent in the week ending Feb. 11 and 9 percent in the week ending Feb. 18, both compared with the week ending Feb. 4, comScore said Monday. The new ranking system went live in the U.S. on Feb. 5. ComScore defines click-through rate as the total number of clicks people make on search-engine ads divided by total search queries. Yahoo's new system assigns rank to pay-per-click search ads by taking into consideration the advertisers' bid amounts plus the ads' relevance to the search query. Previously, Yahoo ranked ads solely based on the amount bid. The new ranking system is part of Yahoo's new search advertising platform, called Panama, which also has a campaign management tool for advertisers that was launched previously. Yahoo has high hopes that Panama will boost its search ad business and allow it to compete better with Google Inc., which has built its empire selling this type of ad. In this model, advertisers choose search query keywords that will trigger the appearance of their ads. The advertisers offer to pay a fee of their choosing whenever a search engine user clicks on their ad, thus the bidding nature of the model. Yahoo's financial performance in the past year has been lackluster, compared with Google's consistently stellar one, and Yahoo executives have acknowledged that their search ad business has been a weak link.

DevShed continues their series looking at connecting a PHP5 script to the powerful Yahoo! search backend with part four of the series today. This part focuses on reworking some of the previous examples to make them more modular using custom defined functions.   Logically, these examples can be really useful for learning the basic concepts surrounding the use of these search services, but undoubtedly, it's necessary to modify and improve their source code to make it more compact and completely reusable.   They start the overhaul with the web search (complete with example results) then push on to the video and image searches and work them over the same way.

DevShed has posted the third part of their series looking at accessing the Yahoo! web services via PHP5 scripts. This time it's a focus on using the image search capabilities.   In this third chapter of the series, I'm going to continue exploring in detail other helpful web services offered by Yahoo!, such as those focusing on searching images and videos. Also, I will demonstrate how they can be queried directly from a basic PHP 5 application and process the corresponding search results by utilizing the same group of array handling functions that you saw in the previous article of the series.   Just like in previous articles of the series, they make a simple class that connect to the Yahoo! web services and request search details back about their queries (like "Madonna").
