In fact, 97 percent of Google’s revenue, which totaled $33.3 billion in the past twelve months, comes from advertising. WordStream, a venture capital-backed provider of hosted software that automates most of the manual work involved with creating and optimizing both paid and natural search engine marketing campaigns, has done some research to discover which keyword categories fetch the highest costs per click (CPC) in Google’s AdWords solution. And of course, they made an infographic based on the results of their research (embedded below). WordStream compiled data from its own, vast keyword database and the Google Keyword Tool to determine the top 10,000 most expensive English-language keywords over a 90-day period. Subsequently, the list was organized into categories by theme. The top twenty keyword categories that demanded the highest costs per click are: 1.

Google's Business Strategy: Have No Business Strategy | Co. Design [This is the second in a three-part series of excerpts from Tim Harford's new book. The first excerpt was "Why Do We Hold Fast To Losing Strategies?"] Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt had a surprise when he walked into Larry Page’s office in 2002. Managers stay out of the way. Larry Page regarded the time he devoted to the project not as something he could do because he was Google’s founder and could do whatever he wanted, but as something to which he was entitled because every engineer at Google had the same deal. Whole Foods Market would have little to gain from letting its employees noodle around on whatever project took their fancy, but Google’s 20 percent time is a practice made successful by the same basic mechanism that Whole Foods relies on: peer approval. The 20 percent time policy isn’t unique to Google: Not only is it being widely emulated across Silicon Valley, but it long predates the creation of the Googleplex. A serial innovator such as Google or W.L.

8 totally awesome natural phenomena you probably didnt know about | ZME Science The Maelstrom When you hear a name like maelstrom, you just know it’s about something wicked. Introduced in English by Edgar Allan Poe from the Nordic languages, from which it came from the Dutch word maelstrom (maalstroom in modern spelling), it literally means crushing current, which is quite a very good description. digital representation of a maelstrom A maelstom is basically a very big and powerful whirlpool, a free vortex; a free vortex with quite a downdraft. Fire Rainbow The term ‘fire rainbow’ is really misleading; the correct term is circumhorizon arc. Of course, this rainbow is not formed the way ‘classic’ rainbows are formed. Waterspouts Waterspouts seem to be taken out of the Captain Planet series. Most of the time, they are weaker than land tornadoes, but some are extremely big and bring the water upward with immense speed and power. They can actually be tornadic or non-tornadic. The even rarer ‘cousin’ of the waterspout is the snowspout (or icespout). The Honduran Rain of Fish

Why the Entire Internet Is about to Become 'Slower and Flakier' Seven days from today, according to ISP Hurricane Electric, the organization that gives out the unique 9-digit addresses that in theory identify every device connected to the Internet is going to simply run out of those addresses. (This is only an estimate; Japanese ISP iNetCore pegs the end to 2 days later.) It’s as if the local telephone company simply ran out of phone numbers to give to its customers. Except every time this happened, back when everyone had a land line and area codes meant something, the telephone company saw it a mile away, and added a new area code for a given geographic area, thus averting catastrophe. In this case, there is no plan B. Years – decades, really – of foot-dragging mean that the world’s hardware manufacturers, OS coders, website builders and Internet service providers are stuck with the existing system. Does this mean no more computers can be connected to the Internet after January 31st, 2011? It’s not as if the Internet is going to break in a week.
