A few months ago I wrote about the death of paid search and had to sustain the backlash of the paid search community through 38 comments and multiple “hate tweets.” I actually enjoyed the discussions and learned quite a lot from some of them. The question that kept bugging me was if there’s a correlation between a price of a product or service and their CPC? Do keywords associated with high-priced products cost more? Image Credit: Wikipedia In the core of this question is the theory of economic equilibrium. The reason why this theory is important for understanding the relationship between product price and CPC is that if information was completely available to all parties in the market (a required assumption in this theory) then knowing the average cost-per-click (CPC) will allow companies to evaluate the effectiveness of paid search.
These shifts will occur until CPC will stabilize where both suppliers (Google) and buyers (advertisers) are satisfied with the return on paid search.

I recently returned from addressing the Media Financial Management Association conference in Las Vegas. Despite the festive diversions outside the conference center, the audience of executives from traditional media companies—newspapers, radio stations and TV—were all anxious about the same challenge: how to integrate digital marketing services with their traditional offerings.
Consumers and businesses have more entertainment and information choices than ever before and audiences are increasingly fragmented. Advertisers are demanding digital exposure. In fact, digital marketing expenditures are projected to rise to 26 percent of all marketing spending by 2016, according to the Forrester Research forecast shown below. As you can see, the largest share will continue to be search marketing and online display advertising. I saw the power of this transformation firsthand during my work with South Central Media in Nashville, TN. We understood that digital was here to stay and would only grow.
Using tinEye to understand Google’s image search. 16. Februar 2011 Using tinEye example The following article is extremly important for optimizing images for Google’s image-search. I would say it is a point on an “i”. Usually images are optimized onpage (for this see: “Image Seo basics: optimizing images for Google-imageSearch“). Each day I surf in the google image search – since years. Searching for “optical illusion” you find a picture of a girls with big … you know what I mean. Screen "optical illusion" page 3 Now lets search something completely different, for example “toronto tower“. Screen "toronto tower" In Germany we have also big towers – the highest in Frankfurt. Screen "frankfurt tower" Perhaps you read someting about “tette“. Screen "tette" There are a lot of keywords that shows the picture on top positions.
Same thing, if you search in other laguages in locel google image-searches. Screen "fernsehturm" in german image-search As you can see the picture is an “eyeCatcher”. Images-copies are a ranking factor Screen: more sizes. LunaTV Ep. 10 - Google Analytics - GA for Large Sites. This week’s topic is Google Analytics.

Wajam’s Updated Social Search Takes On Google’s “Search, Plus Your World” Ever since it launched earlier this year, Google’s “Search Plus Your World” initiative has been criticized for favoring results from its own social network over those from larger and more popular services like Facebook and Twitter.
Even though Google’s focus on Google+ is keeping the market open for competition, social search isn’t exactly an easy field to enter. Wajam, however, a startup based in Canada, is determined to try to beat Google at its own game. The service integrates its social search tools directly onto the search result pages of Google, Yahoo, Bing and a number of other popular sites. Today, Wajam is launching a big redesign that makes it easier to use and integrates it into even more services. Wajam is a pretty ambitious project. The company aims to index all the social status updates and links your friends share on Twitter, Facebook and Google+. Support for LinkedIn is planned for later this year. For now, the new design only appears on Google’s search result pages. Should We Disavow Links To Combat Negative SEO?
The Negative SEO conversation has truly been re-ignited and has everyone debating its affect again. Conversations are exploding with claims of lawsuits, paying people to remove backlinks, and just blowing up the site and starting all over. Fair enough. But the way I see it, there is really a simple solution to this issue. Disavow Links I wrote this in a comment on SERoundtable and Barry Schwartz beat me to the punch recently. Think of this as an open letter to Google, or just a general expression of how I feel about this conversation. What I think Google in particular is failing to realize, is that there are good SEO’s out there that want to help them succeed. How I See This Working We submit things to Google all the time. Why not submit a list of shady links which point to our site? Let Webmasters Be Proactive The engines aren’t perfect, and undoubtedly miss things. The engines are already really good at crawling the Web, and are aware of the links that point to our sites.

Struggling to know what to do in the wake of Google’s Penguin Update? Judging from all the comments and forum discussions we’ve seen, plenty are. We’ve got a little initial advice from Google on the topic, mixed with our own. What Was Penguin? The Penguin Update launched on April 24. It was a change to Google’s search results that was designed to punish pages that have been spamming Google. If you’re not familiar with spam, it’s when people do things like “keyword stuffing” or “cloaking” that violate Google’s guidelines. Is Penguin Fully Live? Sometimes it can take a few days for an update to fully rollout across all Google’s various data centers, which in turn means impacting all its search results.
Was I Hit? It’s easy to run some search, see that your site has gone and assume the worst. My advice to people worried has been this. I ran this advice past Google; I was told it was good advice. How Do I Recover? Since this was targeting spam, you need to remove any spam you might have. What Google’s “Over-Optimization” Penalty Really Means. The dust is beginning to settle around the announcement Matt Cutts, head of the webspam team at Google, made at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin. Essentially, he commented that Google will soon be rolling out a new over-optimization penalty in their ranking algorithm. This update has supposedly gone live already according to some, but Google said “in the next few days” 36 hours ago. Regardless, there’s no shortage of speculation. Here’s some of what he said: “Normally we don’t sort of pre-announce changes, but there is something that we’ve been working on in the last few months.
And hopefully, in the next couple months or so, in the coming weeks, we hope to release it. … So all those people who have sort of been doing, for lack of a better word, “over optimization” or “overly” doing their SEO, compared to the people who are just making great content and trying to make a fantastic site, we want to sort of make that playing field a little bit more level.” The Writing is on the Wall. Google AdWords Tests Trusted Stores Endorsements. Looks like Google has started testing out customer service endorsements inside paid search ads according to Internet Retailer.
About a dozen of Trusted Stores’ “couple hundred” retailers are taking part in this experiment. Google Trusted Stores is a customer service program that takes into account reviews, shipping times, products, customer issues resolved and a variety of other factors. To participate, retailers must surrender all the above information to Google. Participating e-tailers can include the Google endorsement on their web pages. Google is testing a variety of new Trusted Stores paid search ads to see which perform the best.
For instance, “Google Trusted Store” might appear below the main link for a retailer, or the Trusted Stores badge with information about how the retailer rates in certain areas (for instance, “99% of issues resolved in under two days.”) It's not said when the official announcement of this program will take place or if it even will. Google Plus Guide in 15 Minutes. Some people don’t believe in climate change. Other people don’t believe that Google+ is changing how the internet works. This article is for people in the second group. Why Google+? Put simply, Google wants to customize your search results based on what your friends like. People tend to like what their friends like, so this makes sense.

Could DuckDuckGo Be The Biggest Long-Term Threat To Google? Robin Wauters at The Next Web recently wrote about an interesting trend taking place at upstart search engine DuckDuckGo. DDG (DuckDuckGo) is self-described as: We are a search engine with: Way more instant answers. Way less spam and clutter. Lots and lots of goodies. Real privacy. Wauters reports that DuckDuckGo’s daily search traffic has grown by 227% in three months: Given their huge growth rate over the last three months we took a closer look at DuckDuckGo to discern why users might recently be turning to it in larger numbers.
The first reason many have pointed to is privacy considerations– DuckDuckGo promises not to track you, and with Google’s frequent and well-publicized privacy challenges many searchers may be looking for alternatives. So the privacy ‘migrate away from Google’ angle has been well covered and surely is a legitimate argument for why users may be taking a look at Google alternatives. Retrieval + Presentation: Like Chocolate & Peanut Butter 1. 2. Where Are Your Inbound Links? Create Presentation Slides with iPad Drawing App Paper. iPad drawing and painting app Paper isn’t short on praise.
It’s received a great response since it launched a few short weeks ago, having been downloaded over 1.5 million times in its first two weeks. Its success is with good reason – somehow, even if you’re not exactly the world’s best artist, it almost always manages to make your scribblings look beautiful. Earlier this month, I was watching a presentation at the SMC_MCR event I co-organise in Manchester, UK. Garry Byrne, Managing Director of digital agency Reading Room Manchester, did something inspired – he drew all his slides with Paper, and they looked great. So impressed was I that I copied the idea for a presentation I gave about the future of TV a few days ago.
Now, I’m sure other people around the world have done this in the past few weeks too, but it’s far from commonplace at this point. So, give it a try – and quickly before too many other people get the same idea. ➤ Paper. Tell Google To Remove An Indexed Post or Page From The Search Results.
