From Search Engine Land:

  • Doing Keyword
    Research? Here Are Some Resources To Help!
    Search term research is one of the fundamental activities for a successful
    search marketing campaign. You’ve got to know the words people are using if
    you want to target them properly. To help, I’ve expanded the Search Term
    Research section of Search Engine Land to list a variety of resources…

    Security Company Postini For $625 Million
    Google announced (and here) the acquisition of Postini, a software security
    for electronic communications company for $625 million. Google said that this
    company would become a division of Google Apps. They will help secure Google
    Apps including Gmail, Google Docs, Google Talk, Calendar and Google’s other
    applications. "With this transaction,…
  • FTC OKs
    Microsoft’s aQuantive Acquisition
    Microsoft’s bid to acquire online marketing firm aQuantive for $6 billion has
    cleared an antitrust regulatory hurdle, the companies said today. The

    pronouncement that it is the "most used people search engine on the web."

    claim, but only if you consider Facebook a people search engine. I…

    As reported here and elsewhere, Marchex recently launched more than 100,000
    local and vertical Web sites. This involved aggregating and organizing
    millions of pieces of data, crafting refinements to help users pinpoint
    businesses, designing sites to support the variety of use cases involved in

  • Link Analysis
    Beyond Search Rank
    I’m an extreme believer in linking analysis and competitive linking
    intelligence. I have tools that analyze millions of links every week. I have
    scripts that compare, contrast, group, separate, divide and categorize links
    to a degree that would make your eyes cross. As I type this one of my…
