Rumour! Google is buying Feedburner?
2007-05-22 22:50:00
It has just been heard from a VERY trusted source that Google is buying Feedburner in order to get into the rapidly evolving RSS Ad market. The delay in announcing the deal, I am told is solely due to the delay in closing out the DoubleClick deal.If true this deal makes a lot of sense for both parties. Today many of us predominately read blogs via our RSS readers and thus never actually visit the original blog source and/or see the sites supporting adverts.So RSS has effectively eliminated the potential value of AdSense and DoubleClick because the majority of people never view them. This is already hurting publishers who rely heavily on the income generated by people watching or clicking on adverts.Personally I think it would be a smart move by Google to acquire FeedBurner, simply because Google could then start to serve their own ads (Adsense or DoubleClick) into the RSS stream.Remember when people first started talking about advertising appearing within RSS feeds and the enormous ...

How to Increase Your Conversion Rates By Up to 500%
2007-05-07 19:54:00
How to Increase Your Conversion Rates By Up to 500% Using the Free Google Website Optimizer Google recently released a new tool called the "Google Website Optimizer". Those familiar with testing conversion rates know that the best way to do this is to "split test". Google Website Optimizer makes split testing multiple variations of a page surprisingly easy and efficient. For those of you who don't know what split testing is, let me explain..Say you have a page setup for gathering leads, it consists of a header, a few short bullet points, your lead capture form and your footer. Let's say this original page has a conversion rate of 6% - for every 100 visitors the page recieves, 6 of them fill out the form and submit it.When you split test, you create numerous variations of this original page, each variation being slightly different (usually only 1 change per variation). So, in one variation you might change the header, in another you might change the bullet points and so on. You the...

Adsence Chit Chat! The Benefit to You...
2007-05-06 11:17:00
Adsense is a popular type of advertising through the commonly used search engine, Google. This type of advertising allows website owners to earn money by advertising Google on their websites. The website will feature a link back to Google and the advertiser is paid based on the number of hits Google gets from that particular link. The advertisements can be text, images, or both. This is a very easy way for you to generate some extra revenue on your website without very much time or effort involved.You don’t just have to advertise for Google though. With Adsense you can choose to have advertisements on your website for other websites and businesses. It is a good idea to choose those that are relevant to your own website but not a direct competitor.For example if you sell customized seat covers for vehicles you don’t want to advertise for other company’s that offer that same product. You may want to advertise for businesses that sell car cleaning products, stereo systems, windsh...

Rumors Reappear! Microsoft Buying Yahoo?
2007-05-06 10:56:00
A year ago, the two companies were reportedly in talks about a merger, but those conversations were dismissed as rumors and speculation. Well, here's Microsoft and Yahoo 2.0. A pairing in the spirit of a superhero team up could happen if the latest chatter about Yahoo and Microsoft proves true. Once again,a potential merger is being considered, as neither company has made gains against Google's search and advertising dominance.The Wall Street Journal said last year's talks have become this year's discussions. Both Yahoo and Microsoft have been rejiggering their online advertising products, but have not been able to eat into Google's lead."Short of a wholesale merger, Microsoft could spin its online group into a separately-run Yahoo, in return for a Yahoo stake,"the WSJ said. "Though a person familiar with the matter says Microsoft would likely want to acquire Yahoo."Microsoft would have to take on some debt to do that, despite its massive pile of cash and equivalents.

The Importance of Back Linking Your Site!
2007-05-05 08:29:00
Need To Back Link? Of Course You Do! There Is Nothing Better Than Good Healthy Traffic To Your Site Is There! Here you will find tips to make it so from someone who Knows: To provide you with a quick review, back links are important because Google and, to a lesser extent, the other major search engines look at back links to your site as “votes” saying that your site is relevant for particular keywords. The more relevant search engines judge your site to be, the higher your site ranks in the search engine results pages for those keywords. This makes it more likely for web surfers to see your site and actually pay it a visit.You don’t want to have non-relevant links because the search engines will figure that you’re trying to get a high quantity of links to game the system. That’s called link spamming, and the search engines may penalize you for it. Your best bet is to build relevant content that people want to link to, which is often referred to in the SEO industry as “li...
