How do you put a module inside an article? - Joomla! Documentation
How do you put a module inside an article?
You will usually want to associate modules with articles in some way. The modules are allocated to module positions and the module positions appear somewhere on the web page as determined by the template. However, it is sometimes useful to have a module actually embedded in the article content itself.
To insert a module inside an article you use the “{loadposition xx}” command, as follows:
- Create a module and set its position to any value that doesn’t conflict with an existing template position. You can type in the position value instead of selecting it from the drop-down list. For example, use the position “myposition”.
- Assign the module to the Menu Items that contain the articles that you want the module to show in. You can also just assign the module to “All” Menu Items.
- Edit the articles where you want this module to show and insert the text “{loadposition myposition}” in the article, at the place where you want the module to show.
The module will show at that point in the article.
Note that this only works when the plugin ‘Content - Load Module’ is enabled. If this plugin is disabled, the text “{loadposition myposition}” shows unchanged in the article.

Startpage.com Makes Search-Query Clicks Invisible

Startpage.com Makes Search-Query Clicks Invisible
A fledgling meta search engine has developed a way to prevent Google, Microsoft Bing, Yahoo and ad networks from collecting IP addresses or dropping cookies in browsers to serve up personalized content and ads. Startpage.com has developed a Web proxy service that lets people surf the Internet anonymously. The word “proxy” appears in query search pages under each keyword result. Clicking on the word ‘proxy’ instead of the blue link allows people to view the content without recording information from the person’s browser. Startpage.com goes out to the Web site clicked on and retrieves content from Bing, Cuil, Ask, Digg, Yahoo and others. It serves up the information in a privacy-protected window. The person’s browser never interacts with the external Web site, so the queried site cannot view or capture consumer data. Rather than seeing the consumer’s cookies and IP address in the computer’s browser, it sees Startpage.com’s. Without the proxy, Web sites see and record IP addresses and collect data through cookies once people leave the initial search query page by clicking on links, which allows ad networks to target advertisements and dynamically configure Web sites based on location, and prior Web surfing behavior and purchases. The next step for Startpage.com could become “private email,” says Katherine Albrecht, who spearheads marketing for the company in the United States. Albrecht, a long-time advocate of protecting consumer privacy, admits that consumers might not want to use the service all the time. Sometimes it loads slowly because Startpage.com needs to retrieve and display the context in its window frame. It doesn’t allow consumers to enter text into forms or load JavaScript, so some features like buttons and animation might not work. Didit Chief Executive Officer Kevin Lee points to several dozen search services that have surfaced over the years. “Most people really don’t care much about being anonymous, and those who do usually don’t surf anonymously all the time — just when they are doing something ’special,’” he says. People using proxies are often the “bad guys,” such as spammers, or otherwise have “nefarious” reasons for wanting to skate under the radar, says David Harry, Reliable-SEO founder. So proxies aren’t always a “good thing,” he says. And if people do care about surfing the Internet anonymously, Harry explains that people can “grab a proxy” such as Startpage.com, and install it in a Firefox browser. “Simply proxy surfing is not going to cut it with the newest services,” he says, pointing to a link on how to install a proxy in a Firefox browser. “Honestly, I would have to think there is an element here of trying to cash in on people’s fears.” It’s not clear whether Startpage.com, known as Surfboard Holding B.V.-owned ixquick.com in Europe, will launch a ad-serving biz, but today it pulls in and serves up paid-search ads from AdWords. Although unconfirmed with Google, Albrecht says a deal between the Mountain View, Calif. company and fledgling engines allows clicks on paid-search ads to remain private. “Scaring people about the information Google collects is not an effective way to break the Google Habit,” says Aaron Goldman, managing partner at Connectual. “The bottom line is people are willing to give Google the benefit of the doubt and look the other way because the results are so darn good.” Google allows people to turn off personalized search and provides step-by-step instructions on disabling customization. via MediaPost Publications Startpage.com Makes Search-Query Clicks Invisible 02/01/2010.
Facebook develops conversion tracking tool

Facebook develops conversion tracking tool
Facebook plans to add a conversion tracking tool to its suite of advertising products based on demand from the marketplace. The platform will allow marketers to track clicks through conversion.
The conversion tracking tool being tested by a “handful” of Facebook advertisers doesn’t have a launch date, but Boland believes it should become available sometime before the end of March. A JavaScript snippet will go into the Web page. Marketers will have an option to set up multiple tags to track numerous conversions.
Reports will provide a list of tracked conversions and the impressions and the clicks that led to each. The feature will help marketers build out messages as the campaign expands into a variety of pieces.
