Maybe you could set something similar to what ebates.com has done? Each user has an individual login and everytime they go to an affiliate site they are provided with a tracking ticket. It's a really cool system and I've made over a few hun

Getting just the recipe would be the hardest part, but it's still doable. Once you figure out that you're currently parsing a recipe (via keywords, close matching, whatever) you could fan out and look for common start/end tags like <p&

We're using a general-use multi-threaded crawler to get the pages and then using Beautiful Soup and a bit of regex to parse them. Though we are scraping multiple sites, they are all in the same "category" so to speak, so there are a lot of

The big-label music industry is truly unbelievable. Just when you think their bad ideas can't be topped, they come up with this. They need to take a cue from what the Nine Inch Nails did (and the success they witnessed) with the release Gho

It seemed to be all but ignored when the Google clicks data was released last week. One blog (I forget which) made a very good point that the market will self-correct for the lower amount of clicks. Since the clicking area is now smaller an
