Google Unveils Site to Help Businesses Use AdWords

2010-09-22T11:48:00.000-07:00

Businesses intrigued enough to try Google’s pay-per-click advertising program, AdWords, now have a tool to help them effectively employ the system.

AdWords Small Business Center launched this month in response to mounting questions and concerns from users about how to use the program, which lets businesses create text, picture or video advertisements that run in the “Sponsored Links” column of a Google user’s search results.

The new site provides relief to owners struggling to navigate – or even enter – the sometimes confusing online advertising terrain.

“Many (users) asked for an AdWords resource focused on learning and the top tips for small and medium businesses, and we listened,” AdWords representative Miles Johnson blogged last week.

Users will find four main portals on the resource site.

Small Business Center: This is the homepage where experienced users can read tips, and prospective or new users can get an introduction and tutorial to the program.
AdWords Blog: The blog updates users on news involving changes to the site such as last week’s post about AdWords’ new monthly charging limit.
Discussion Forum: The site allows users to share information and advice with each other in the Small Business Corner discussion forum, where users can create profiles about their businesses.

“(The blog) makes it easy to read about the latest trends and product updates and use them to grow your business,” Johnson wrote.
Help Center: As with any program’s help tool, this is the go-to portal to find answers for lingering questions or for more details about certain components of AdWords.

Only Google Can Beat Google...!!

2010-09-10T11:52:00.000-07:00

Here is the latest update from the king of search; introduces the “Google Instant”

Google instant gives you search results without even hitting the enter key. It is okay???

Now beat this, Google instant gives you the search results even before you finish typing the search query…

Awesome right!!!

Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. We are pushing the limits of our technology and infrastructure to help you get better search results, faster. Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type.

Benefits:

Faster Searches
Smarter Predictions
Instant Results

Did You Know?

Before Google Instant, the typical searcher took more than 9 seconds to enter a search term, and we saw many examples of searches that took 30-90 seconds to type.
Using Google Instant can save 2-5 seconds per search.
If everyone uses Google Instant globally, we estimate this will save more than 3.5 billion seconds a day. That’s 11 hours saved every second.
15 new technologies contribute to Google Instant functionality.

Best top 25 websites every SEO should know for 2010

2010-04-10T12:01:00.000-07:00

I tried searching and after an extensive research I found the 25 websites that every SEO expert/Specialist must know to face the challenges in coming months of 2010.

The list is quite short, quick and pretty good which will going to help you to perform some better Organic results on Search Engines.

1. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com – The official Google webmasters blog, there’s always a lot of activity happening over at the big G, it pays to keep on top of developments.

2. http://www.huomah.com/dojo – I can’t stress enough how good this website is, recently voted as number 1 for the “best paid subscription SEM community” by readers at Top Rank Blog. I’ve spoken to Dave (the ninja boss) many times and the amount of SEO he knows is scary!

3. http://www.sphinn.com – Sphinn is the equivalent to Digg for anything search related, the community has continued to grow over the last few years and although some recent technical decisions have caused some negative chatter – it still feels ace.

4. http://www.seobook.com – Aaron Wall has been in this business a long time and SEO Book provides great resources for SEOs around the world, I especially like the tool “Rank Checker” for snapshot views into ranking performance.

5. http://raven-seo-tools.com – The Raven site provides excellent SEO tools in the form of benchmarking, I used the site in it’s early days and it’s continued to get better and better – solid SEO blog too.

8. http://www.linkdiagnosis.com – this website has also come a long way since I first started using it back in early 08, this link analysis tool is actually quite accurate although the results are only taken from Yahoo, link building can be very effective using this site

9. http://www.twitter.com – Twitter was a must in my previous list and it’s a must now. Any budding SEOs can learn a lot from following some of the leaders in the industry and seasoned SEOs can get a lot of good stories aggregated straight to your twitter home with absolutely no effort.

10. http://www.wolf-howl.com – A search blog with a different stance from many other industry leaders, not always agreeing with Google tactics and methods Michael Gray provides a good contrast in perspective and a sometimes light hearted Friday afternoon read.

11. http://www.seounique.com/blog – I felt the need to add my blog on the list because I do run tests which may provide insights, I’m by no means like the others on this list but I’d appreciate the signup to my feed!

18. http://www.google.com/insights/search – Alas another Google link but extremely important for identifying keyword opportunities on generic and local based levels, although take a pinch of salt with the data provided.

19. http://searchengineland.com – one of the most important search blogs online with great insights and in depth discoveries, it would be rude not to include these boys.

Square Your Search Results with Google Squared

2010-01-28T12:11:00.000-08:00

Some information is easy to find. If you want to learn the rules of golf, you can search Google for [golf rules] and we'll return a list of relevant web sites right at the top. But not all your information needs are that simple. Some questions can be more complex, requiring you to visit ten, perhaps twenty websites to research and collect what you need.

For instance, I'm a big fan of roller coasters. In the past I've used Google to search for information about roller coasters, such as which ones are the tallest, fastest, and have the most loops. Finding this information used to take multiple searches — I'd find roller coaster sizes on one website, heights on another, and speeds on a third. By manually comparing the sites, I could get the information I was looking for, but it took some time. With Google Squared, a new feature just released in Google Labs, I can find my roller coaster facts almost instantly.

Google Squared is an experimental search tool that collects facts from the web and presents them in an organized collection, similar to a spreadsheet. If you search for [roller coasters], Google Squared builds a square with rows for each of several specific roller coasters and columns for corresponding facts, such as image, height and maximum speed.

While gathering facts from across the Internet is relatively easy (albeit tedious) for humans to do, it's far more difficult for computers to do automatically. Google Squared is a first step towards solving that challenge. It essentially searches the web to find the types of facts you might be interested in, extracts them and presents them in a meaningful way.

This technology is by no means perfect. That's why we designed Google Squared to be conversational, enabling you to respond to the initial result and get a better answer. If there's another row or column you'd like to see, you can add it and Google Squared will automatically attempt to fetch and fill in the relevant facts for you. As you remove rows and columns you don't like, Google Squared will get a fresh idea of what you're interested in and suggest new rows and columns to add.

If you click on any fact, you'll see the sources Google Squared gathered it from as well as a list of other possible values that you can investigate. So even if your square isn't perfect at the beginning, it's easy to work with Google Squared to get a better answer in no time. Once you've got a square you're happy with, you can save it and come back to it later.

To give Google Squared a whirl, try searching for [planets] or [romantic movies]. You can try out Google Squared now in Google Labs.
