Google Home Page Re-Design

noreply@blogger.com (PJ) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:24:00 +0000

WOW Google have certainly been busy over the last few weeks with changes, advances, new services, new products and reading between the lines, new algo tweaks that will eventually impact on SERPS.

So here at Artemis Internet Marketing in Marbella we will try and bring you the various news and information in separate postings.

First thins first. Anyone notice the new Google home page today?

I did first thing this morning and to be honest I am finding it a little frustrating. Being an Internet Marketing company and head of SEO here at Artemis, I am always in and out of various Google services. So as usual I opened up my home page which is defaulted to Google.Com and looking back at me was a very 'white' page with the search bar and logo in it's normal place.

Where had all the links like Advertising Programs and Sign-In gone?

I admit I did panic a little at first. Was it a flaw with my recently downloaded AVG 9, or maybe some type of malware preventing links showing. Then as if by magic, a few moments later the links just faded in.

Google said the move was designed to remove distractions for those web users "intent on searching".

So not to worry it's a re-design of the Google home page aimed at searchers. I guess I will have to get used to it then.

Would have been nice if Google had;

1) Let people know
2) Given the option to use the legacy page

Google limits free access to news

noreply@blogger.com (PJ) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 12:20:00 +0000

Over the last week we have seen lots of articles about news items appearing on Google from 'subscription' services and about Google potentially using these news items to gain additional advertising revenues. It would seem that the 'news industry' are not happy about news items appearing in search results that would normally only be available by subscribing to the 'website'.

Today Google have announced their response to this argument by allowing publishers to set a limit on the number of articles individuals are allowed to view before they are re-directed to a sign up / subscription form.

The product manager of Google's 'First Click Free' service Josh Cohen recently posted a blog saying "We've updated the programme so that publishers can limit users to no more than five pages per day without registering or subscribing"

This whole situation has been driven by the industry as they are concerned about the 42% slump in ad revenues. They are all looking for new ways to generate income and the natural way seems to use the massive popularity of the Internet to restrict access to certain titles with a registration / subscription service.

Newscorp in the UK who own the best selling publications like the Sun Newspaper and The Times are considering making all of its online content available only as paid for content.

What amazes us is that these publications have relied on the popularity of search and the huge Google user base as a way of increasing their own 'followers'. Making content paid for is just going to take them back out of the 'race' as it will leave the way open for publications to offer the same news stories and similar content to searchers for FREE.

Let's face it I like to read articles in the Times Online everyday. Sometimes it is good and useful other days it is just waffle and of little interest. So how would I feel about paying to see whether there is anything of interest to me.

With the growth of Social Media networks like Twitter the way breaking news and events is shared has already changed dramatically and in some cases is not only faster than Google's indexing of breaking news, it offers better alternatives and feedback about news items.

It will be very interesting to follow this story and monitor the results.

You can't 'use' Google for ranking when you want and then get uptight about items appearing that you would rather make money on. If you don't want it in the search results there are many ways to stop it appearing. What they seem to want to do is get it ranking so people click and then hit them with a 'now you have to pay' message.

It should be one or the other, ranked or not ranked.

Google Caffeine

noreply@blogger.com (PJ) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 13:57:00 +0000

It's been dubbed Google Caffeine and it's currently in a testing phase but one thing is for sure, Google will be rolling out their 'new' search engine in the very near future. It already has the Internet marketing and SEO world in turmoil as we try and test the new version and match results against existing search results.

To the normal searcher things will look pretty much the same. They might not notice that the results are delivered fractionally faster or that there are more 'real time' results. To SEO companies we have our thinking caps on and need to ensure that number one, our clients results remain the same (or improve) and that we leverage the new results to the advantage of our clients.

I conducted many different tests and found the results virtually the same. The odd move up or down a place or two, which of course in highly competitive terms can mean a massive difference in visitors. But in general much was the same.

The one thing I have noticed that does seem to be common to all searches is the removal of images in SERPS.

I tried the search BMW

Google Caffeine: No images results and news results (real time) up at P4
Normal Google: Image results included at P4 and news at P5

So to check I did a search for Nikki Beach

Google Caffeine: No images results
Normal Google: Images at P6

Why not try Google Caffeine yourself and compare results for your industry or main keywords.

There is also a Dissatisfied? Help us improve link at the bottom of the page.

So after all eyes having been on Bing recently Google has shifted the limelight back to the worlds most used search engine.

Yahoo New Home Page

noreply@blogger.com (PJ) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:55:00 +0000

At long last it seems Yahoo has had a swift kick up the backside and launched its new customisable home page.

http://www.yahoo.com/

Yup you can change colours, page sizes and lots more but its still a far way from the iGoogle features, but hey it's a step in the right direction and the cynics might even say it has something to do with the talk of a deal with Microsoft.

Google's Profits Up

noreply@blogger.com (PJ) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 10:14:00 +0000

Whilst many companies continue to struggle and downsize Google's net income for the quarter to June 2009 was actually higher than it was for the same period last year. They posted a net income of $1.48bn (£900m) whereas last year it was $1.25bn.

Their actual revenue rose by 3% for the period to $5.52bn and interestingly 53% came from outside of the USA.

Breaking down the areas of income it shows that online marketing expenditure continues to rise despite other forms of media like TV and Radio taking a real knock.

Paid for clicks (sponsored listings) were 15% higher year on year although Q2 was down 2% against Q1 of this year.

The results from Google were better than expected and CEO Eric Schmidt was reported to say "These results highlight the enduring strength of our business model and our responsible efforts to manage expenses."
