All Google Search Now PersonalizedGoogle announced last week that all their natural search will now be personalized to the user. http://searchengineland.com/google-now-personalizes-everyones-search-results-31195 This is extremely important for all search users whether they be professionals in the space or businesses looking to sell more online. Why? Because SEO ranking reports will fall out of sync over time with what users see if the users don’t opt out of the Personalized Search. Meaning we’ll being paying less attention to rankings reports and more attention to conversions/traffic. Should create a lot of headaches for those SEO’s who focus solely on rankings and not on their clients bottom line. December 11th, 2009 | ||||

Does your blog have a goal?
Today’s Internet boasts no shortage of blogs. With blogs constantly being added, and forgotten, the number of blogs is difficult to accurately track. One estimate by eMarketer reports 22.6 million blogs for the year 2007 in the United States alone. Does that mean 22.6 million blog goals exist as well? Not likely. Blogs found online can range from superbly written to a random rant of someone’s day. Does anybody care about what ice cream I had last (eggnog with hot fudge)? Or what the top AP news story was today? Not here. If you cared about my ice cream habits, we could discuss that over email. If you wanted the top AP news story, you would visit the AP or top newspaper site, not an Internet marketing blog. February 1st, 2009 | ||||

If you have a website, you are part of online marketing whether you want to be or not. As soon as Google, Yahoo or other search engines notice you have a live website— boom! Like it or not, you are thrown into the world of search engine marketing. So what? Would you make a television advertisement and run it untouched for months on end? Would you make a radio commercial and let it run unedited for months and months? Unless you have got one heck of an advertisement, edits to the ad will be made depending on results, seasonality and your audience. January 30th, 2009 | ||||

Google Chrome is ReleasedNo we’re not talking about some new bling on the street. It’s Google’s new web browser. It’s supposed to be a lot quicker and more secure than a number of the already existing web browsers in the space. While I’m not completely converted yet (It will take a lot for me to get away from all my add ons in Firefox) it’s worth mentioning and monitoring. Check out Google Chrome when you have a moment.
