Google Puts New AdSense Ads Under Maps - 0 views

  • Oct 9, 2008 at 4:15pm Eastern by Matt McGee    Google Puts New AdSense Ads Under Maps The continued success of Google Maps gives Google another growing revenue stream to tap into, and that’s what they’re doing with the placement of new AdSense ads immediately under maps on Google Maps. The ads don’t show up on all searches, but they do appear on enough searches to suggest this is more than a limited test. Amit Agarwal is seeing these ads in India, for example. Dave Shaw, who first alerted us via email, is seeing it in the UK. The screenshot above shows how the new ad placement looks on a search in Google Maps for [seattle real estate]. Moving out of a major city into a much smaller city suggests that Google needs to improve its targeting on these ads. A search for [west richland real estate] reveals an ad for a company in Richland, PA. (West Richland is a small city in Washington state.) Unlike the regular Local Business Ads that show up to the left of the map, which take you to the map “popup” for that advertiser, clicking on the ads below the map take you straight to the advertiser’s website. There’s more coverage of this on Techmeme.

Google AdWords for Local Search - ClickZ - 0 views

  • Each scenario will require a slightly different focus in PPC marketing. Like most real world businesses, you need to be well represented in Google universal and Google Maps (a.k.a. Google Local).Why? Because you must be where searchers are looking for you, and searchers are looking in both places. Therefore, you need to have ads on both platforms. For non-geotargeted ad groups that will appear on the universal results pages, create campaigns and ad groups using terms that include geo-qualifiers, like a ZIP code, neighborhood, town, metro area, or larger region. Then, while the ads will appear to everyone regardless of where they are, only those people specifically looking for a product or service in your area, and not one 500 miles away, are likely to click on your ad.

      It's unclear how Notability is different from Contribution
  • Each entity is assigned a unique identifier.
  • Determining the most likely entity being requested by a searcher can be completed by establishing which entity appears the most times in the top 10 results.

  • There is an entity database.
  • Entities are ranked by a quality score that may include freshness, previous selections by users, incoming links, and possibly outgoing links.
  • Stronger sites like Wikipedia provide a stronger relationship between entities. For example, a Wikipedia page discussing Ronald Reagan as the president of the U.S. would connect the two entities of “Ronald Reagan” and “President” far more than their mentions in this article with a topical authority related to SEO and marketing

Google's neural matching versus RankBrain: How Google uses each in search - Search Engine Land - 0 views

  • Google said in September 2018 that neural matching impacts about 30 percent of all queries. We asked Google if that has increased, but have not received an update.What is RankBrain? Isn’t it similar? Google told us in 2016 that RankBrain (see our RankBrain FAQ) is also an AI, machine learning-based system that helps Google understand queries.Google said a good way to think about RankBrain is as an AI-based system it began using in 2016 primarily to understand how words are related to concepts.So what’s the difference between Neural matching and RankBrain? Google put it this way:RankBrain helps Google better relate pages to concepts.Neural matching helps Google better relate words to searches
  • Why it matters. The truth is, there isn’t much a search marketer can do to better optimize for RankBrain, as we said in 2016. The same seems to apply for neural matching, there doesn’t seem like you can do anything special to do better here. This is more about Google understanding queries and content on a page better than it currently does right now.That said, it seems to indicate that search marketers need to worry a bit less about making sure specific keywords are on their pages because Google is getting smarter at figuring out the words you use naturally on your pages and matching them to queries.We asked Google if it has additional recommendations around neural matching and RankBrain and were told its advice has not changed: Simply “create useful, high quality content.”

  • What is neural matching? Google explained “Neural matching is an AI-based system Google began using in 2018 primarily to understand how words are related to concepts.”“It’s like a super synonym system. Synonyms are words that are closely related to other words,” Google added.
