Hi
I'm possibly going to attempt writing a contextual advertising tool similar to
googles adsense.
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how to find out what text is on
the page that the users adverts are embedded in.

I was thinking about cfhttp to find out what html was in the current page but
there will be a lot of concurrent requests and it would probably start getting
very slow.

Another method could be to use javascript to parse the text on the page and
pass a huge string to a cfm file.

I think there will probably have to be lots of caching need to be done, e.g
only checking the text on the pages once a day.

Does anyone else have any thoughts, ideas or better ways to achieve this?
