Google’s Recent Domain Registrations: Labs, Screenwise & AdWords
Google has been busy registering several domain names in recent days that could be signs of things to come. A couple seem to relate to some kind of lab-related project(s), some are AdWords-related and others are related to the Google Screenwise program that I wrote about earlier this week. Here’s a look at at least [...]

Now, Mitt Romney Has A Santorum-Like Bing & Google Problem
Perhaps Google may finally have to figure out a “fix” for Rick Santorum’s “Google Problem,” now that an anti-Romney site is making it appear that anyone can rank any protest page for any politician’s name. Bing has the same problem, but no one ever seems to care about that. Spreading Romney I was pretty surprised [...]

Bing Now A Full Point Ahead Of Yahoo In Search Share — comScore
Today comScore reported January search share figures for the US market. We restrained ourselves this month, not posting on this subject before the official release, given the error that happened last time through one of the financial analyst firms and their early release of the data. Google gained share vs. last month. However, the big [...]

Google Analytics Update To Organic Reports
Search & Analytics - Daniel Waisberg
As many of you know, organic traffic is auto-populated in Google Analytics reports using a default search engine list curated by Google. It is also possible to add smaller search engines manually into the tracking code snippet, using the _addOrganic method; but it’s nicer when Google does it for us. Every once in a while, the [...]
The Paid Search Uncertainty Principle
Enterprise SEM - George Michie
In 1927, Werner von Heisenberg documented what he referred to as an “Uncertainty Principle” governing quantum mechanics. The Uncertainty Principle holds that an observation cannot precisely reveal both the position of a particle at a point in time and its momentum. The more the observation reveals about one, the less the observer can know about [...]

The Neuroscience Of Search & Conversion
Search & Conversion - Brian Massey
The one thing all of your search traffic brings with it is a human brain. It’s easy to think that our search visitors aren’t coming with any brain at all. How can they possibly decide against what we have to offer? If they weren’t going to take action, why click on the ad? It turns [...]

Using The Mobile Ratio To Measure Mobile SEO Success
Anyone involved in online marketing has an innate sense that mobile is a big deal. We’re never more than an arm’s length from our phones, and we have a curious tendency to do everything on them.
