  • Schmidt: Someday, AdSense Publishers May Know Google’s Cut Of Ad Revenues

    How much money does Google keep back for itself from the AdSense ads it places on third party sites across the web? Right now, most publishers don’t know. But that might change in the future, says Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
    AdSense is largely a black box for publishers. They agree to carry ads from […]

  • Yahoo Quietly Adds Top Queries & URLs To Site Explorer

    I noticed this morning that Yahoo has added a new feature named “Top Queries” to Site Explorer. I have not seen any announcement from Yahoo on this addition, but it seems pretty new. The tool shows you the top ten queries by day, week or month. It also shows you your top […]

  • Clicker: More Than Just A Video Search Engine

    It may have a search box and look like a video search engine but Clicker is not according to CEO and co-founder Jim Lanzone. In a way this may seem like a strange position to take given that Lanzone was the very partisan CEO of search engine Ask. But while Clicker does index video it […]

  • Would Your Company Be A Good SEO Client?

    Organic links – the ones that just happen are typically driven by things like public relations, brand awareness, unique content, existing exposure, and social networking.

  • Online Video Must Differentiate From Television

    eMarketer recently published an article titled The Online Video Advertising Picture Clears Up which forecasts that online video advertising will represent 4.3% of online spend and 1.6% of television advertising spend this year, growing to 11% and 5.5% respectively by 2013.

  • Do A Google Search From Yahoo.com? Maybe…

    Is it possible that, say a couple years from now, you might visit Yahoo.com and its Bing-powered search engine, but actually search Google, instead?
    It seems so. PaidContent reports on Yahoo’s appearance Wednesday at the 2009 Deutsche Bank Technology Conference, where Burke Colligan, a senior director for Yahoo Front Doors — the company’s user experience group […]

    As the proposed Google Book Search lawsuit settlement is debated, I’ve read calls from various critics that everything should go back to “square one” for a solution.
