Product Extensions Available to All U.S. Advertisers - 0 views

  •  
    Google has unleashed a new feature in AdWords and is making it available to all U.S. advertisers. The feature is called Product Extensions and it uses information from an advertiser's account in Google Merchant Center. Product extensions allow images to be shown with your ad. The ads include a plusbox, which expands the ad. Advertisers will not be charged when a user simply clicks the plusbox - only when a user actually clicks through to the site.

Social Media - Google takes on Facebook - Internet Retailer - 0 views

  • Google+ will test whether the search giant can reach some of the 157.2 million consumers who accessed Facebook in May, according to web measurement firm comScore Inc. Those consumers are particularly valuable because they looked at 103 billion pages and spent an average of 375 minutes on the site. Consumers on Google sites, which includes YouTube, viewed 46.3 billion pages and spent 231 minutes on those sites. That helps explain how Facebook has been able to garner nearly one in three online display ads on the web, according to a recent comScore report.

Official Google Webmaster Central Blog - 0 views

  • Message Center warnings for hackable sites Thursday, October 16, 2008 at 8:28 AM Recently we've seen more websites get hacked because of various security holes. In order to help webmasters with this issue, we plan to run a test that will alert some webmasters if their content management system (CMS) or publishing platform looks like it might have a security hole or be hackable. This is a test, so we're starting out by alerting five to six thousand webmasters. We will be leaving messages for owners of potentially vulnerable sites in the Google Message Center that we provide as a free service as part of Webmaster Tools. If you manage a website but haven't signed up for Webmaster Tools, don't worry. The messages will be saved and if you sign up later on, you'll still be able to access any messages that Google has left for your site.One of the most popular pieces of software on the web is WordPress, so we're starting our test with a specific version (2.1.1) that is known to be vulnerable to exploits. If the test goes well, we may expand these messages to include other types of software on the web. The message that a webmaster will see in their Message Center if they run WordPress 2.1.1 will look like this:

Are PPC Ads Now Counting in Google Organic Backlinks? - Search Engine Watch (SEW) - 0 views

  • In the past, I've said there's no direct correlation between editorial rankings and paid advertisements. Well, it seems I was wrong. Paid search really can affect organic search. My team recently noticed this in one of our client's Google Webmaster Tools accounts. They saw instances of backlink anchor text that we knew we weren't optimizing against (not requesting links with these keywords) and they seemed very promotional in nature. When we reviewed these links, we saw that they were coming from paid search efforts. They were the titles of the ads on both Overture/Yahoo Search Marketing and Google AdWords. Yet, Google Webmaster Tools was (and still is) showing these as anchor text of backlinks to the Web site.

BruceClay - SEO Newsletter - INTERNATIONAL: Universal Search Occurrences and Types in G... - 0 views

  • Recently, we noticed many more Universal Search results appearing in the Google.com.au SERPs. We performed some testing on the number of occurrences and the type of Universal Search results to provide some actionable insights and data to back up our observations.

    In addition, we wanted to test what Marissa Mayer, the Google VP of Search Products & User Experience stated in November 2009. In the interview, she noted that when Universal Search launched in 2007 a Universal Search item appeared in 4 percent of search queries, whereas in November 2009 a Universal Search item appeared in 25 percent of search queries.

    We selected a sample of different search results in Google.com.au (searched from an Australian IP and eliminating the impacts of personalised search) and recorded the occurrences and types of Universal Search results. We gathered this data across a number of different keyword groups including brand, high-volume, mid-tier, long-tail and celebrity- and news-related keywords. We then tracked those search results over a period of days to determine the level of change.

    Please note that these are based on a sample size and are based on an average across the sample set. The results of our research are outlined below:

    A) Percentage of Times a Universal Search Result Appears on Page 1

    Our research shows that:

    • 86 percent of all searches returned a Universal Search result on page
    • 74 percent of all searches returned a Universal Search result above the fold on page 1.
