Markov Algorithm - The Theory

Svarog — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 10:57:38 +0000

So, as I said, the next few articles I write, will be about content generation.

To be precise, we are not going to generate content, because 100% generated content is never good enough. Instead what we gonna do, is find existing content, read it, and manipulate it so much that nobody will ever see that the content is stolen.

To start off, we’ll see how can we take an existing article, and using automatic algorithms turn it into a fully readable, and yet totally different article.
To tell the truth, the article will not be 100% readable, good chance that parts of it will not make sense, but one thing I can tell you for sure - Google’s bots will never know it’s not original, authentic content, and even Google’s moderators, who will usually read your article hastily, will probably not suspect anything.

Today’s article will deal with the theory behind the algorithm. The next article will deal on how do you implement the algorithm in your code.

The idea of Markov’s algorithm is based on Markov Chains, so first lets see what Wikipedia has to say about Markov Chains:
In mathematics, a Markov chain, named after Andrey Markov, is a discrete-time stochastic process with the Markov property. Having the Markov property means that, given the present state, future states are independent of the past states. In other words, the present state description fully captures all the information that could influence the future evolution of the process, but for which future states will be reached through a probabilistic process instead of a deterministic one. Thus, given the present, the future is conditionally independent of the past.

At each time instant the system may change its state from the current state to another state, or remain in the same state, according to a certain probability distribution. The changes of state are called transitions, and the probabilities associated with various state-changes are termed transition probabilities.

Good chance that if you never learned Mathematical Probability, you’ll never understand the definition, but actually, the idea is quite simple.
What we have is a process, which always is in a certain state.
The process switches from one state to another according to a table of probabilities.
There’s a certain probability to switch from each state A to each state B, with two requirements:
a) The sum of probabilities to switch from any state A to all other states should be 100%(so that after each state there will definitely be another state).
b) The probability to move from one state to another is only dependent on the current state, and not on any previous states. This makes the process simpler to calculate.

Even if you don’t fully understand how this works, it doesn’t matter too much. What you have to understand is, that according to the current state, we can easily know what is the probabilities for the next state.

Now let’s see what all this has to do with Content Generation.

First, we’ll introduce a new variable: Granuality, or in short G.
G equals to the number of words required to determine the next word. In all my examples, I’ll use a granuallity of 2, because from my experience, this is the optimal granuality for optimal texts.

Now let’s build a probability table, in which the keys would be each G words that appear one after each other in a certain order, and for each key we’ll write down all the words that appear after that, with the amount number of times it appeared.

For example, let’s take the simple text: “My name is beautiful, my name is fair, my name will never be forgotten”
For the phrase “my name” we’ll two options: ‘is’ - which appeared 2 times, and ‘will’ that appeared one time.
This means that after the phrase “my name” there’s a probability of 2/3 that ‘is’ will appear, and 1/3 the ‘will’ will appear.
After the phrase “name is” there’s a probability of 1/2 that the word ‘beautiful’ will appear, and 1/2 that the word ‘fair’ will appear.

For phrases that appear only once, things are even easier, for example, after the phrase “will never”, the only possible word is ‘be’.

So, now let’s see how the process work: We take the first G words in our text, that’s the first state in which the process is in, find them in the probability table, and according to our probabilities randomly select the next word.
Now we have G+1 words in the new, re-written text. We’ll look at the last G words, look them up in the probability table, and according to it, randomly select the next word.
This way we continue until we have a text long enough.

Each time, the state of the Markov Chain is the last G words in our text, and the next state is determined by the probability table we have just constructed.

In case we reach a phrase that does not appear in the probability table(this usually happens when the last phrase in the source text appears only once), there are two options: either stop here, or start from the beginning again.
The biggest problem with the first approach, is that with short source texts, we might have a long phrase that repeats itself.
However, with longer text, this problem nearly never occurs, and the second approach might return a very short text from once in a while.
Therefore, I prefer the first approach, but you may choose whatever suits you.

That’s all for today, in case you understood nothing, in my next post I’ll be showing you how to implement the thing in your code, and this might simplify a few things.
Stay with me, and you too, will never ever again have to buy any more content generation software, because you’ll be able to write it yourself.

CashCook.Info Gone Pro

Svarog — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 19:21:32 +0000

Yes, I know, it have been more then half a year since my last post.
Yes, I know I promised a new eBook on my last post.
Yes, I know everybody has already lost all hope to see this eBook, or actually, see anything from me anywhere in the future.

But I’m back! better then ever.

Why the absence? Because I’ve realized what I was writing is pure bullshit you can read in hundreds of DigitalPoint threads, and frankly, I don’t believe I’ve ever helped anybody(including myself) to make more then a few dollars a month.
The free products I gave away? There isn’t a single good product there. Everything is bullcrap. Not a single eBook that’s worth the reading, not a single piece of software that does what it promises to do.

I even thought of deleting all old posts, since they are all bullcrap, but decided not to, just in case there was some useful information back there.

So why am I back?
I guess because I’ve learned from Eli of Blue Hat SEO. The dude opens most of his secrets up, he has hundreds of readers, and yet, for some reason, his methods keep working.
Why is that? Because 99% of his readers read the articles, tell themselves they’ll have to implement the idea some day, and more or less stop there.
The lasting 1% actually implements the ideas described in the articles, but that’s not enough people to render the methods over-used.

So I’ve figured out I have some secrets that I can share too. However, I’m no Eli. That dude works his ass off 60 hours a week, Even if I worked every single free minute I had, I won’t be able to gather more then 2-3 hours a day. So if I find the time to write one article per week, that week is a lucky week.
Beside that, the articles will be on a much higher level then the articles I was writing before.

The first secret I’m going to tell you, which is actually no secret at all, is that if you want to make money in the Internet, you have two options:
a) Write a really good blog on a niche you are an expert in.
b) Do not be afraid of programming.
There’s only so much people that can implement the first option, and those don’t need my help, just install Wordpress, and you are ready to go.
So we are going on the second option.

Sorry for breaking the illusion, but there are no real methods of making money without programming skills. So, before even thinking on reading any of my future articles, grab a book on any server-side scripting language - ASP.NET, PHP, CGI, AJAX, I don’t care, just learn it very well, and return to me when you can write a basic site in your chosen language.
I will keep myself hoping that all my readers at least know HTML.

I myself am a C# programmer in my daily life, so for me ASP.NET is the natural choice, and therefore all code snippets here will in C# and ASP.NET . Luckily for my readers the C# language is quite intuitive, so if you are good with another programming language, it won’t be hard for you to convert the snippets to your favorite language.

If programming is not a barrier for you, then you are already on the right way to making money on line. And if you continue reading my blog, I will tell you some of the Black Hat tricks I use to create my own SEO empire.
Yeah, I’ve waited with the term “Black Hat” to the end of the article. Mostly because I didn’t want anybody to expect too much. Black Hat SEO is not magic, and involves lots of work, unlike many would make you believe.

The few first articles will center on content generation, and on how to use your generated content.
So, don’t forget to subscribe to the RSS feed, so that you don’t miss up on it.

I know I promised it today, but…

Svarog — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 12:08:08 +0000

But I’ve read what I have today, and decided it’s not good enough.
And I’d rather release nothing then a crappy eBook.

So It will take some more time before it’s ready.

How much time?
I could have given you a deadline, but then it would be the same as the monday deadline.I won’t make it.

So the book will be when it will be. I’m gonna be busy in the next few days, so I’m not sure when will I have time to work on it, so I can’t give any approximation as to when the book will be ready.

Sorry to all who were waiting for the book today.

A Few Updates for CookBook #1

Svarog — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:07:29 +0000

“Cash CookBook #1 - Cooking Cash With Automated Blogs, Using Free Tools Only!” has over come a few minor updates.
What was mainly updated is the grammar in a few places, and a special offer for WordPress Mass Installer has been added.

Also, I had a problem to upload the new version to mediafire, so I have uploaded it rapidshare instead. Yeah, I don’t like rapidshare too, but I had no choice.

If you haven’t done so yet, you can download the CookBook from here.

Cash CookBook #1 - Cooking Cash With Automated Blogs, Using Free Tools Only!

Svarog — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 14:49:53 +0000

Finally, it’s here! Much later then planed, and not a moment too early, the first Cash Cook Book!
Thanks to everybody who suggested me how to convert the document to PDF, but eventually I somehow succeeded installing Adobe Acrobat on Vista!

This CookBook will teach you how to cook cash with automated blogs.
With the exact method described in the book, I’m making around 200$ with more then 500 automated blogs.
Blogs that are automatically updated with fresh content every day, without you moving a finger.

The eBook is not for complete newbies. You’ll need some computer skills to understand what the eBook is talking about, but it’s written on a fairly low level, so that anybody who has at least some experience with computers and webmastering will understand.
I didn’t write it in the most basic level is for the reason that I believe that people who have no experience with computers should not seek income on the Internet anyway. Everybody should do what’s he’s good at, and if you are not good with computers, how can you expect to make money through your computer?

This eBook is the first in a series of eBooks I’m going to write, about unorthodox ways of making money online, and the next book will be written pretty soon, so don’t forget to subscribe to the RSS feed, so that you’ll know when the next book is out.

The book comes with free giveaway rights, and you are encouraged to give it to your friends, co-workers, clients, subscribers, anybody. Give it out on your blog, give it out on your site, give it out to your mailing list. The more people make money with it, the happier I am.

Click Here To Download “Cash CookBook #1 - Cooking Cash With Automated Blogs, Using Free Tools Only!”
EDIT:
I heard from a few people that for some reason the link not always works. If the direct link doesn’t work for you, you can download the book from Rapidshare: http://rapidshare.com/files/50785415/Cooking_Cash_With_Automated_Blogs.pdf

P.S.
This is the first book I’ve ever written, and it’s definitely not perfect.
If there’s anything that requires clarification, please, reply here, or email me at svarog@cashcook.info, and I’ll do my best to correct the book.

Oh, and if you made money with the book, my beer fund is going dry… *hint hint*

Sorry for the postponing

Svarog — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 21:26:58 +0000

Yet again, I still don’t have the book ready.

Sorry about that.

Problem is, as it figures, Adobe Acrobat doesn’t like Windows Vista too much. Hopefully until tomorrow I will find a solution to convert doc to pdf.

If somebody knows how can I convert a Word file into a PDF, while preserving the links, and without adding any footers/headers/watermarks, you are more then welcome to leave a comment.

First Cash CookBook is Out Very Soon

Svarog — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 19:00:37 +0000

Yeah, I know, it have been a very long time since my last post, but finally I have an update.

I haven’t been posting anything, because as I said, I’ve ran out of good stuff to share, and didn’t want to post bullshit, so moved to writing my own eBooks.

And my first eBook is nearly ready. Actually, all that’s left to do is to convert it to pdf and upload the thing. As surprising as it can be, I don’t have any decent software to convert doc to pdf, so tomorrow morning first thing I do is head to the software department store and buy Adobe Acrobat.

That means that either tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow you’ll already be able to download this work of art.

I’m not gonna reveal what the eBook is about, you’ll have to wait for tomorrow to find out. But I will tell you it reveals a Black Hat technique, that within a month of hard work can make you an income of a few thousand dollars a month, and the best part, once it’s set up, you’ll never have to lift your finger again.
And the best part, all is done with free tools only.

So, don’t forget to subscribe for the RSS feed, so that you’ll be one of the first to know when the book is ready for download.

Nothing to Share

Svarog — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 07:54:26 +0000

As you have probably noticed, I haven’t posted anything new for quite a while already.
That’s mainly because I have trouble finding anything worthwhile to share.
Yes, I still have got lots of unshared stuff in my collection, but seriously, who needs another package of PLR articles, or an outdated eBook about what Google Adsense is?
So CashCook.Info will no longer be updated with new products, on the other hand, I’m currently working on a few of my own eBooks, that reveal many secrets nobody else had ever revealed you before, and the best part, all those eBook will be totally free.

Working on those eBooks will take some time though, so please be patient, and subscribe to my feed, so that when the first book is out, you’ll know it’s there.

How To Monetize Your Feed Through Pheedo, While Keeping FeedBurner Tracking Intact

Svarog — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 11:15:13 +0000

A blog’s RSS feed is very important for it’s success.

Through the RSS feed, the blogger(you) can keep his readers with him, returning for more content every day, and through the RSS feed the readers can easily check for updates on the blog.

There’s only one problem with RSS feeds: They are much harder to monetize then ordinary web pages, mainly because you can’t place Javascritp in your feed, and since both Adsense, and most other Advertising networks work on Javascript, you can’t place any ads on your feed.
Also, tracking your RSS feed is pretty hard, yet again, because Javascript, and for that matter any other type of scripting, is disabled.

However, there is a solution for both problems.
For the tracking problem we have a well known solution - Feedburner. Feedburner tracks all your feed activity, including the number of subscribers, which RSS readers are used, number of clicks, which bots accessed your feeds, and much more.
For the monetization problem there’s a less known solution - pheedo. Pheedo let’s you ad PPC ads on your RSS feed, and get paid for every click on the ads, just like adsense.

There’s only one problem left. These two services don’t work well together. And for long time I was running Pheedo ads that gave me no revenue at all, no matter how much clicks I got on them.

A few days ago I’ve made a few changes, and Voilla! I’m making nearly 50% from my Adsense revenue through Pheedo, without the Adsense revenue hurt in any way, since those visitors who see the Pheedo ads, never see the Adsense ads.

Anyway, here’s what you have to do to make Pheedo work with Feedburner.
(note: this tutorial is written supposing you are using Wordpress)
a) Sign up to both Pheedo and Feedburner.
b) In you Pheedo account, set up a feed, and select the “purple” configuration.
c) In the feed URL, write http://your.domain.name/wp-feed.php (note: do not write http://your.domain.name/feed/ or any other permalink in the feedURL field).
d) Set up a feedburner feed, and put you pheedo feed URL(http://www.pheedo.com/f/yourfeed) as the Original Feed in Feedburner.
e) Set your blog to redirect requests for your feed to Feedburner. This can be easily done with The FeedSmith Plugin.

This will redirect all people clicking your feed buttons, and those going to http://your.domain.name/feed to your feed, that’s tracked with Feedburner, and monetized with Pheedo.
