Description: Recently, the construction of skyscrapers in Korea has increased. However, the traditional housing has some disadvantages such as low productivity, labor intensive and time-cycle. Formwork is one of the highest cost components of the structure of a concrete building, and is a factor with a significant impact on the duration of the construction. This paper proposes a modified version of the formwork system table (MTF) can improve the productivity of construction, reduce the need for work to accelerate the construction schedule, and significantly reduce construction costs. A case study was conducted to verify the validity of the multilateral trading hours and comparing costs with those MTFs. . . More>>

In SEO, a category page is similar to an index on your website. On an ebusiness site which sells dog food it is the page that itemizes the types of dog food for sale. On a service site it would be the list of all your services and on a niche SEO information website the category page would possibly itemize SEM/SEO articles.
Category pages are more SEO keyword and keyword phrase rich than your homepage, as a rule. If there is a big competition for your homepage keywords then, as a rule, your category page should include more precise keywords. Also the keywords on your category page will more likely be acceptable. Websites which have only one homepage can embody any amount of category pages and this may increase their traffic. This should please any SEM/SEO analyst as it is their goal to grow your customer base.
There can also be varying stratums of category pages. For instance the first tier page could be Dog food then Adult Dog food and then the final tier could be Vegetarian Adult Dog food. If your website is set up with more than one category level you must fix on the ones on which you wish to spotlight. Sometimes not all the same things can be done on each category level and sometimes they can. Your search engine optimization (SEO) plan should focus on what you want to accomplish most.
Category page SEO will be much easier since most of the links will be internal therefore, coming from different places in your own website. You should use SEO keywords to anchor your text when you link to the category pages. They should stand out when placed in the headings and title tags on the page. It is also helpful for you to write some content that is SEO keyword rich. A paragraph, maybe two, should be plenty. Remember you want your page keyword rich not keyword stuffed, which is a no-no in proper search engine optimization.
Your internal linking is highly important for your SEO. You must be sure that for every level of category page, you have a link on your homepage site map which corresponds to it. It helps to link to the categories from all the pages in your website, though in order to keep your menu small and to have less links only put the main categories. Leave the subcategories to be listed on the category page itself. This will avoid having too many links which can bring down the weight of each link. Search engine optimization (SEO) is a delicate balance between too little and too much so ask a SEM/SEO expert for help.

Hyunmee Lee: Foreordained Gesture (August 3rd through 19th, 2007) Review
Hyunmee Lee: Foreordained Gesture (August 3rd through 19th, 2007) Overview
Exhibition catalog.Lee Hyunmee paintings have been described as explorations into the depth of the self, conducted through gesture and the abstract gaze. Lee began her artistic journey in Korea, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Hong-Ik University in Seoul. The artist then voyaged to Australia, where she earned two graduate degrees in visual art from the University of Sydney. In 1991, Lee returned to Soeul to teach at Hong-Ik, where she joined her mentor Park Seo-Bo, a leading Korean artist and founder of the Korean Monochrome movement. Park Seo-Bo encouraged Lee,who shared similar theoretical convictions, such as an interest in space, repetition, and transcendence. Lee took these interests with her to the United States, where she settled in Utah and continued her growth as a professional artist.The harmony of opposites is key to understanding the energy of both Lee’s life and work. This concord is most visibly reflected in Lee’s works through the strong juxtaposition of black shapes against neutral planes of paint. Black, a unifying element in Contact-Sensation, reveals a bolder side to Lee, whose previous works have focused more on lyrical abstraction than hard geometric forms. Seraphic Stone No.28 and Infinite Surface No.2 both feature bold, nearly-rectilinear shapes of ebony that confront the viewer from imposing, six by six foot canvases. But Robert Motherwell’s statement that Black is death; white is life cannot be applied to Lee’s works. Instead, Lee’s use of black is more about the presence of light than its absence. Far from being steeped in negativity or pessimism, Lee uses black to open a dimension outside of the physical world, a place of meditation where judgment is suspended so that the viewer can move into a realm of progression. In this respect, Lee’s works function as verbsinvitations to a space of meditation created by the supreme balance of opposition.

This has to be one of the most talked about things in the AdWords circle today, especially, if you are new to using AdWords as a marketing tool.
I’m going to assume that you are aware of what a Click Through Rate is. If you don’t know then to simplify it is the number of clicks an ad receives divided into the number of page impressions.
The Click Through Rate is very important both to Google and you as an advertiser.
WHY?
Good question. Okay, so let’s take a look at these two things starting with the latter first.
GOOGLE
Google uses a number of algorithms to assess what ad occupies what space in their search results. As you can imagine Google has so many advertisers that bid on the same keywords in an attempt to occupy the same space, especially if the keyword converts into sales.
However, Google also knows that not all ads are created equal, given anyone with a credit card can place an ad on their network. This is where the Click Through Rate comes into it. In some ways Google let’s the feedback of its users determine what ads are better than others.
This feedback comes in the form of user clicks. The popularity of an ad is determined by how many clicks an ad gets from the number of impression it receives.
I guess this is a way for Google to determine which ads are more valuable to it searchers. So the ad that receives the most clicks are the ads that fit in with its searchers mindset. Hence a good user experience. A good user experience means people will continue to use Google as their preferred Search Engine, which ultimately means more revenue for Google.
ADVERTISER
Now to you as an advertiser (which is the most important part) this means that, if you can achieve a good Click Through Rate then the price you pay per click is reduced. In a way Google is rewarding you as an advertiser for giving their users a good experience.
Google reassess your Click Through Rate on a continuous basis and reduces the bid price accordingly over time. Which means that you could start off by paying $0.60 a click and then based on your Click Through Rate over time you may only end up by paying $0.20 per click.
Therefore the longer you have a high Click Through Rate the less you will have to pay per click over time. The bottom line to you is that your ad spend reduces and your profits increase. Hence the importance of a achieving a good Click Through Rate.
