Myspace and Google Holding Hands Now?

December 1st 2006 18:07

I try to convince myself not to be surprised when Google does something new and big, but it never works. I find I'm constantly dropping my jaw over decisions the search giant makes. It never ceases to amaze me.

This time it's with Myspace.com, a website that I hold deep hatred for, and it looks like Google has big plans.

From now on Google will be powering all Myspace search queries, and will have full command over the Myspace ad network. From a marketing perspective this was a brilliant move. Google now has the eyes of the worlds biggest social community and it can sit back and brand itself all day long.

Remember the days when Google powered Yahoo searches? It did wonders for them as far as marketing. As much as I hate Myspace, I can't deny this was a good move.

Google Selling Newspaper Ads?

November 24th 2006 22:44

Could Google go offline with its Adwords program? It's starting to look like it. The online advertising king is testing print media ads in several major US markets and so far there is no news that these test runs will slow. The next logical step would be to implement the system and start offering the ad space to the Google Adwords Clientelle.

The way it appears to work is Google Adwords users will now be able to purchase ads not only online using their Adwords account, but also offline. Google will have a certain amount of ad space within the newspapers and will sell that space out to the highest bidder.

Is this a sign that the print media is desperate for help finding advertisers or that Google is drunk on profits?

I think both.

How busy has the Googlebot been?

November 14th 2006 07:04

It looks like the Google Webmasters Tools Team is busy blogging us some tubular stats and screen shots relating to its search engine spider we all know as Googlebot.

The activity reports posted line up with what my logs show when looking at it in averages. Overall I think Google did a great job with this post and it's well worth a read if you watch your stat logs like I do.

Could Advertising Give Us Free Cell Phones in the Future?

November 14th 2006 06:02

According to Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, it just might be possible as long as you're cool with a bit of targeted advertising.

"Your mobile phone should be free," Schmidt told Reuters. "It just makes sense that subsidies should increase" as advertising rises on mobile phones.
