40 Percent Frustrated With Video Search
I’m generally suspicious of surveys that say things you’d expect them to say by the company that commissioned them. In this case, ClipBlast — a video search site — sends word of a survey covering frustration with video search. Still, I’ll pass along some stats and the press release, for what they’re worth. The key […]
Social Media Not Converting? Put Down The Shotgun & Use A Rifle!
One of the most frequently asked question I get about social media marketing is "Should we try and market to all social media sites or just focus on certain ones?" There are a couple ways to answer that question, and it really depends on a lot of factors. In my opinion, it makes more sense […]
MojoPages: Whole Lotta Yelp, A Little YouTube
Even as several local search competitors have been forced to rethink or exit the space, others still see it as a big opportunity. And in fact it is, just one that’s very hard to capture. The latest contestant to enter the race is San Diego, California-based MojoPages, which I wrote about briefly here but which […]

Will Google Remain ‘The Start Page For The Internet’?
This subject is worthy of perhaps a 10,000 word New Yorker article. But this will just be a relatively short post based on some thinking following a meeting with Netvibes CEO Tariq Krim in San Francisco the other day.
Why The SEO Folks Were Mad At You, Jason
Jason Calacanis is riled up about SEO today, telling the world that "90% of the SEO market is made up of snake oil salesman" and still confused over why the "SEO folks" were mad at him when he said "SEO is bull" during our keynote conversation at SES Chicago last December. I love Jason. I […]

Google Fensi: Google’s Asian Social Networking Site?
Over the past day or so, there has been a lot of discussion about something named “Google Fensi.” Google Operating Systems first posted about it linking to this screen capture. Garett Rogers then dug deeper to explain it was found within the Google in Your Language page, but he isn’t sure if it is a […]

Will Paid Search Conquer The Mobile Internet?
To say there’s a lot going on with mobile right now is to state something more than obvious. The carriers, the handset makers and the mobile content providers are in what amounts to a frenzy of competition and business development as they try and position themselves for what they see as the next really big […]
Google’s Not So Top Terms & Top US Gainers For 2006
Last week, I wrote The Lies Of Top Search Terms Of The Year covering how the top terms of 2006 from Google turned out not to be the top terms at all in raw popularity. I caught up with Google at the end of that week to talk about this more but didn’t have a […]

The Lies Of Top Search Terms Of The Year
I wanted to make some time and dive deep into the issue of why all those top search terms from the various search engines don’t match. Others have thankfully been doing that. The short answer, as I’ve written before, is that they are all heavily filtered. That’s why you don’t see popular terms like […]
Top Google Search Terms Of 2006
I went looking for Google’s top terms of 2006 today after seeing that some of them had been leaked to the UK press. Nothing public was up on either the Google press releases page (no surprise, typically hours behind when Google actually releases news) or the main Google Zeitgeist page or the 2006 page. I […]

MySpace Passes Yahoo In Page Views But Not Audience
I’ve been waiting for comScore to publicly post figures on November 2006 traffic before pointing to the news of MySpace topping Yahoo in terms of page views. But everyone’s getting into it, so I’ll pass it along now as well.
