Google pagerank affect the SEO work

0 comments

So what google pagerank effect for the ranking of search results? Said, please, google pagerank value here only a function of assessing the importance or popularity of the site for the search. The site has a high pagerank mostly by the content of that page is good support for reading, here I would only mention the ranking pagerank Natural, not to mention the problem created due to pagerank SEO. But the text towards the reader easily link readers bookmarks or placed in an account somewhere in their profile on the internet, adding that these elements share the internet community will bring to the page of a backlink large equivalent availability of content it provides. Reason that it will be for a google pagerank higher than other pages. But the ranking of search results of the search engine is completely different. Indeed, with its algorithms search engines, especially Google can easily analyze and index ratings for each content with the specific meaning. Algorithms of the search engine allows the tool on the links (natural or intentionally created) on the internet to index ratings do not link to each specific parameters based on income from such links. In other words the anchor text is displayed on the collection of links. More original content links also play a crucial role in the ranking of its content should be well optimized to best support for the anchor text attached. Fins to build anything other than pagerank ranking keywords? Difference is very large, single building pagerank Art is looking for quality links pointing to web pages, link building can be created very easily when not attached to anchor text and do not care to the current directory. The company or organization providing the services of this type often very easy to work. They just use software like IBP or WebCEO submit a link can automate this task, with fastidious customers can use their services, sales, swap links, rent for place link .... But with the construction of ranking for the keyword, the job far more arduous. With the knowledge you need a SEO optimized website structure on both the content and build links with anchor text to be analyzed more carefully, selecting sources to build and link with high value in support the site ... and so on. Just imagine you can record shows a large difference in these two tasks. Pagerank is essential when doing SEO, but it is not the decisive factor of all. Do not pay any attention to these factors scores, or that more attention to the value of the brand, the ranking on the SERPs, the rate of Bounce Rate and the ability to optimize the conversion value that an SEO services promises to give you

Optimized website for search engines

13 comments

Regardless of your site a new "grid" and has 10 years of senior management, the web site showing how the new search engine is the key to success.

A site of about 61% traffic from access to the search results in Google which only makes up to 41%.
For most companies, ensuring a high-ranking results in search engine for website company is task priority, which is why website optimization for search (SEO - search engine optimization) is the area picked the money bill.

No one can know exactly the method when combined together will promote the maximum rank of a website on search results pages, but many people have developed several methods for this work based in practice and experience. Here are some experiences and tips on SEO that experts recommend.
Keyword optimization
SEO will become void if you do not know you're trying to optimize things. For some businesses, selecting the appropriate keyword to show the nature of the business industry is easy. However, to choose the right keywords and attract more customers to the site is not simple. For example, if an online store selling many kinds of products they will use keywords?
For beginners, put your decisions based on keywords the user searches are often used. One way to evaluate the popularity of keyword search is to use a keyword tool online is designed to see the popular keywords are the most common search. Both Google Keyword Tool (find.pcworld.com/62305) and SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool (find.pcworld.com/62306) can help you get results fast and accurate for any keyword should check, simultaneously provide related keywords so you do not take much time to think.

You need to optimize your keywords to attract traffic access and the highest are the most relevant content to your site provided. Therefore, before implementing anything, you should carefully select a few keywords that level of use to optimize many them.

Change the title and URL
Google AdWords lets you create ads PPC form different recognition results (image above).

Experts said that the title card can be viewed as the "center" of efforts to optimize the search engine. When indexing content, search engines will see the cards in this title - the text appears on the browser title - as the most important sites. Therefore, please try to create the title and keywords for each keyword becomes "private lines" of the site.

Today, the search engine more attention to keywords in the URL rather than the tag itself in each site. While most storage systems allow web easy to use keywords in the URL but still many systems (like WordPress) default simple URL using numbers instead of keywords. The URL can be read not only help the search engine that helps all users.

How to attract users

For example, when readers want to link to sites Filmcritic.com supplying the movies is a link entitled "Filmcritic.com" will create a positive influence than to rank your site received from the search engine compared to a link type's name as "review movies." Why so? Because search engines will consider writing "anchor" is used to link to this site.

If you want to increase ranking with a keyword or a phrase that, you need to encourage other sites to use keywords in the text "anchorage" for the link to your website, rather than just a website name as before. To do this easily, you can provide an HTML code that you want website links to use: users will just copy and paste this code into their site instead of leave time to adjust .

Spelled correctly

Your site, especially the tag should not have to misspellings. Keyword spelling error may be big trouble for selling the ads sites (like eBay) when they can not guess why the no one interested in your items. However, sometimes the wrong keyword spelling can help you. For example, many users and traders from "Pavilion" with the "Pavilion", so a keyword with the wrong spelling of the whole can become a secondary keywords to the site.

SEO is not to single direction

SEO is not a competitor with the ability and experience of users. So, what is good for the user will also be good for search engines, so please build sites with content, design and architecture best you can - this will give Your success in improving the website ranking on search engines. Make sure search engines can easily retrieve what you build and then you will reap the success

Google squared officially launched

Today, Google has officially issued extensive trial version of search services that Google squared carrier has announced several weeks ago.
Unlike the results page of Google Search traditions, squared Google does not display a list of links that display the results as tables with the word "squared". Users squared (in http://www.google.com/squared) can report and edit the "square" through expanded search suggestions based on the original.

Time introducing squared from previous months, Google has Sqared not know how to insert nhồi sites to search results. Instead it automatically find and organize data on the Internet and displayed as tables.

On the company blog post yesterday, Google suggests squared can be very useful to users to use multiple search first to receive full information necessary.

"Squared automatically detect the data you are looking for, and then show a meaningful one," Google said, "If initial results are not really out, you can squared to find the answers the better. "

As predicted, Google has squared something relatively similar wolfram Alpha - an answering machine. The formation of the Google squared marked more by the hot races are searching for the occurrence of consecutive wolfram and Microsoft Bing within 2 weeks.

Could Twitter Replace Nielsen?
By Dave Morgan

I'm living in the TV world these, spending my time trying to better understand television viewership patterns and how to improve the TV experience for viewers. Since I've spent the better part of the past 18 years in the online world, I am always looking for linkages between the online world and the television world, from anticipating an Internet Protocol-driven television future to leveraging Web services to better predict or influence actual television viewership.

Relative to the latter, my team has been spending a lot of time lately analyzing Twitter data to try to see if it could be useful in better understanding how people view television, since so many people regularly tweet about their TV viewing activities. The results have been interesting, but what was most eye-opening was the amount of interest and discussion that was generated in comments when the results were released on a popular technology finance blog, Fred Wilson's AVC (Disclosure: Fred is an investor in my company, Simulmedia).

What came through the strongest among the 100+ comments was whether Twitter might be able to replace Nielsen and other audience measurement services, or whether Twitter data might even be able to replace set-top-box data as a source for census-based television viewership. Could Twitter someday replace Nielsen ratings, or set-top-box data? In my view, it's too early to tell, but here are some of the advantages that it might offer:

Real-time results. What Twitter lacks in precision, it certainly makes up for in real time. Tweets tell you what people are doing in the moment. You don't have to wait hours or days or weeks for results. As more and more marketing becomes real-time, so must the tools that enable it.

Intention data. Twitter can not only tell you what people are doing, but why. Understanding intentions and motivations can take a lot of guess work out of marketing and media.

it's a focus group/survey tool on steroids. Twitter lets you watch, interact and survey lots of different types of people very quickly and very efficiently. The survey and focus group business will never be the same once companies learn how to leverage Twitter here.

Authenticity. Twitter today is as wide open and uncontrolled as TV panels are closed and controlled. Neither is ideal, but having both means that we're all more likely to find out the truth about viewers over time.

It's free. Yes. Hard to beat this one. Companies can tap into Twitter for free. I suspect that Twitter will find ways to charge for premium services and uses over time; now, however, it is free.

Is Twitter the new black when it comes to consumer marketing research? Should Nielsen and others be worried? What do you think?

    The Most Expensive Mistake You Can Make by David Koretz
  1. Jonas Halpren from Federated Media commented on Jun 4, 4:24 PM
    While I agree with your general premise, your theory is overly simplistic. Yes, giving your inventory to a large blind network isn't a business model. However, you suggest that anyone who aggregates sites is the lowest blind ad net. There are those that sell premium quality content and get very good CPMs and work very closely with their publisher partners.

    Many small publishers simply do not have the scale and experience to pay for and manage sales people. Sure I could do direct sales myself and be limited to small endemic buys (maybe), but still on my own I don't have the reach for the big brands. Nor do I have the time to take on what is another full time and very difficult job. That's why good sales people are worth so much - selling... - Read more

  2. Stuart Long from HotFussDesign.com commented on Jun 4, 1:33 PM
    Absolutely perfect. Effective sales is a result of getting involved in the decision making process. Consistently facilitating beneficial decisions is essential to every business. Publishers without salespeople are out of the loop and are not involved in the process that truly drives every bottom line.

    Salespeople are not valued which seems crazy but its routine SOP at most corporations, large and small. This may be because of the assumption that if a salesperson had not facilitated a sale it would have somehow facilitated itself. Please.

  3. Jon Levy from Hype Circle Ad Collective commented on Jun 4, 1:11 PM
    Thanks David,

    Well you've stirred up a hornets nest with this one. Thanks to Andrew Boer who called it exactly the way it is.

    The fact is that most small publishers are hobbyists, not businesses, and networks merely supplement the meager costs of running their blogs. They will always be on the discount rack. The unfortunate by-product is that they lower the perceived value of online advertising for everyone else.

    Yes, a publisher must tell a unique story to bring up the value of their inventory, but until you are a leader in your vertical, and have at least a million dollars of premium ad inventory to sell, you are too small for an ad agency to buy from you, and the cost of running an experienced sales team with access to those agencies is not sustainable.

  7. Paula Lynn from Who Else Unlimited; hollywood5459@verizon.net commented on Jun 4, 11:39 AM
    That white oval on the top right of address bar has Google. When it is changed to Bing, that will be the money changer. And who's to say Google is just sitting on the sidelines? I leave the opinions to the experts.

  8. William Cook from Digital Operative commented on Jun 4, 11:27 AM
    Starting in Search and working within some SaaS models, I see Google as making most of the advances as of late with finding ways to package up all of their offerings into centralized hubs or at least that seems where they trying to go.

    Bing just spending an hour in it or so, has some really nice UX features that make it a good step in the right direction, but not enough for me yet to abandon Google. The preview onhover state is nice, the related searches and history on the left is great and the video autoplay onhover is nice.

    Will Google and I ever break up? Probably not, but I might just keep Bing as my mistress ;)

  9. Aaron Goldman from Connectual commented on Jun 4, 10:45 AM
    Gord - well put. Agree that Bing is more of a catch-up to Google than a vault-over and there is room/need for a game-changing iPhone-like product -- eg, something like Hunch.

    That said, catching up to Google is still a big deal. Every incremental % of search share nets millions of dollars in ad revenue. Per my column yesterday, it's going to take some drastic action for Bing to really close the gap in search share (including buying Yahoo search) but it can be done.

    As for breaking the Google Habit, I posted this link in my response to your comment yesterday, but thought I'd share it again...

  12. Study Finds Online Video Usage Dramatically Overstated by Joe Mandese
  13. Peter Contardo from Endavo Media commented on Jun 4, 2:20 PM
    Overstated or not (what's a few decimal points among friends), online video usage continues to change how people access information, use the web and consume content. YouTube is a mega information, marketing and entertainment engine. Cable companies are struggling to figure out new business models because their customers have become so used to getting the content they want, when they want it. Newspapers are becoming more open to citizen journalism by allowing user-generated uploads and comments. Small and emerging brands are competing with the 'big boys' by aligning with niche online communities and content providers. We can argue about the accuracy of the numbers all we want, but you can't ignore the shift that is happening in media, business and society in general that has been caused by online video. http://endavomediablog.typepad.com/

  14. Joe Mandese from MediaPost commented on Jun 4, 7:29 AM
    Re. Terry Heaton's comments, John Grono is correct, Nielsen did not conduct the CRE research, and I'm told does not influence it directly. It merely underwrites it. The research is designed, overseen and commissioned by an independent committee of Nielsen clients from agencies, marketers, and media companies. The goal is to conduct primary research to help understand how people are using media. The observational method used by Ball State's Center for Media Design, is highly regarded in many research circles.

    One other point of clarification, this project actually used layered a couple of methods on top of the observational method to better understand how people are using media. I referenced one, the "media acceleration project" in the article we published. I did not explain how the CRE project gleaned the differences between "observed" and "self-reported" estimates for TV and online video... - Read more

  15. John Grono from GAP Research commented on Jun 3, 6:47 PM
    In read Terry's comments with interest and felt compelled to provide comment.

    The Committee for Research Excellence (CRE) which commissioned this research consists of around 35 research professionals. Sure Nielsen (who pay for it all) are there, as are the broadcasters. But so are the media agencies and the advertisers, such as Unilever, P&G, Kraft, Kimberly Clark. The CRE then went outside of that group and commissioned Jim Spaeth (Sequent) and Mike Bloxham (Ball State University) to perform a rigorous ethnographic study.

    And what is Terry's take on this august group and the reporting of their findings? That they are trying to "unring the Internet bell". Just once I would like to see the same rigour applied to internet audience measurement. Yes, the same internet that doesn't even have an... - Read more

  19. Swag Valance from Trash, Inc. commented on Jun 4, 12:02 PM
    You forget that China will find a way to create its own internal versions thereof.

    We drink the Kool-Aid a bit in believing that every country and every citizen will love Twitter and Facebook as in our own.

  20. Paula Dauncey from Imaginet commented on Jun 4, 3:39 AM
    Well done for writing about this issue, it's one small part of a complex history of China suppressing the views of it's citizens and anyone who tries to speak out against them. The banning of social media sites and freedom of speech in any form is a complete violation of human rights and any blog that draws attention to China's unacceptable actions is a good thing.

    The Chinese gov will actually imprison people for speaking out against them, they do not want people to discuss the atrocities that they committed and so far have not agreed to an open investigation of Tiananmen Square. Amnesty have a petition calling for such an investigation and please show support by signing it at http://is.gd/NRhM and you can read more about the background at http://www.amnesty.org.uk/news_details.asp?NewsID=18226.

  21. Stuart Hill from CyberLink commented on Jun 4, 12:01 AM
    This article provided very little insight. The news angle is topical, but what about something covering the technologies that the Chinese government fears? And how they are being put to use to subvert the authorities? Or perhaps explore other reasons why a website would be shut down...to protect a local version? Or even more controversial, the fawning that western companies are doing to comply with local legal frameworks.

    There are a lot of issues you could rally against, none of which should be trivialized by references to rice paddies.

  24. What Qual Does That Quant Can't by Hart Weichselbaum
  25. James Kempland from STAKE Integrated Communications commented on Jun 4, 9:57 AM
    Actually, both qual and quant are required to mitigate the short comings in either methodology. I have found the usage of one over the other, particularly the use of qual only, leads clients to narrow conclusions, ultimately not serving the needs of the brand.

    We need to search for new methodologies for both qual and quant to build stronger brands for our clients and consumers. Especially in this rapidly changing consumer marketplace.

  26. hart weichselbaum from the planning practice commented on Jun 4, 9:04 AM
    Paula, group influences can be mitigated (by having respondents commit themselves privately before expressing themselves publicly) or eliminated (by conducting individual, as well as group, interviews). Sometimes they are the whole point of the investigation (for example, when convening groups of peers or close friends).

  27. Paula Lynn from Who Else Unlimited; hollywood5459@verizon.net commented on Jun 4, 8:20 AM
    There needs to be another factor included in these studies: what people say what they want or will do in a group dynamic and then what they actually will do. There are so many outside influences that can alter purchase plans, that depending upon just qualitative make also create a false supposition.

  30. 10 Things Bing Must Do To Catch Google by Aaron Goldman
  31. Patrick McGraw from Pat McGraw commented on Jun 4, 5:58 AM
    I would suggest listing those 10 items in order of importance - starting off with "Have a catchy slogan" caused me to throw up, just a little, in my mouth.

    That caused me to immediately realize that "Pray!" should be included on the list...probably at the top.

    I have tried Bing. I was unimpressed. I won't return unless something drastically changes. My overall experience reminded me of Cuil.

  32. Aaron Goldman from Connectual commented on Jun 3, 9:30 PM
    Scott - I hear you but these days "search" is so ambiguous.

    James - fair point. I plead snarkiness.

    Alexandre - I love the name. It's familiar and versatile.

    Gord - no doubt the Google Habit is tough to break. You'll appreciate this 12 step program I just created (http://digitalseachange.blogspot.com/2009/06/breaking-google-habit-12-step-program.html). As for advertising not helped search engines to date, I agree. But that doesn't mean it can't for Bing. Who'd have thought that advertising for a blanket with sleeves would create such a sensation and supplant a market leader (Slanket) with a cheap imitation (Snuggie)?

    Stuart - haven't seen the Bing display ads yet but amused that you Googled it rather than direct nav. I think Gord would rest his case with you.

    Cheers all!

  33. Stuart Long from HotFussDesign.com commented on Jun 3, 5:32 PM
    Earlier today I landed on MSN and saw a display ad for Bing. When I clicked on the ad another ad appeared with a link offering a tour of Bing. Upon clicking the link my browser immediately blocked a pop up ad. Frustrated with how many clicks this was taking I performed a Google search for Bing in my browser and "bing" there it was. Google 1, Bing 0. It's early in the game; so far it's looking pretty good for Google. I can't help but laugh. I know the good people at Microsoft worked really hard on Bing and I wish them the best. The Bing display ad campaign sucks, hard.

  35. Time Spent Is The Right Metric To Measure Engagement by Cory Treffiletti
  36. Michael McMahon from ROI Factory commented on Jun 4, 2:32 AM
    Hey Corey. As I read the headline I was already halfway through drafting my fiery response about how we've got to move beyond engagement. But when I actually read the article I found it to be very insightful. The idea of tracking time spent across MULTIPLE touch-points and equating that time to brand loyalty and customer value is excellent. Nice work.

  37. Kevin Dwinnell from Brand Thunder commented on Jun 3, 4:58 PM
    Cory:

    I agree with your premise, and I'd like to include tenure in the time spent. (NOTE: The following may sound a bit commercial, but it is directly relevant to the topic.)

    Brand Thunder's product is a custom browser designed to give brand's a persistent connection with their online audience. We are a complete outlier when it comes to time spent because the browser's in front of the consumer the entire time they are online, and it's immersed with the brand's design, its content, messaging and functionality. The discussion around engagement can get lost.

    We see a lot of interest at the click and conversion level. Focus is on the incremental traffic driven, the additional commerce delivered and the revenue effect from the online effort. It's easy to measure, easy to see the impact on the bottom line and... - Read more

  38. Joshua Hofmann from Vertical Acuity commented on Jun 3, 4:55 PM
    Couldn't agree more Corey, it's the cornerstone of our measurement platform. It's not just the campaigns that need measurement to establish baselines for engagement, its the effectiveness of the content where the brand appears. How does HP, Apple, or the band U2 know if 20, 30, or 40 seconds is good without a baseline? Our approach is based on directly measuring the brand in the content across sites, but the conclusions are the same. If your content is effective, your engagement metrics will rise.

  44. Behavioral Targeting To Rescue Newspapers? by Wendy Davis
  45. Andrew Boer from OboeMedia commented on Jun 4, 12:03 PM
    I don't get this argument.

    BT by definition makes the data/behavior behind a user more important than the context and environment in which it is consumed. Newspapers were valuable because they aggregated an audience; which sustained an expensive content creation model. But BT devalues the Publisher aggregation/context -- BT doesn't care whether you are on a newspaper or MySpace.

    If these are equal, the likely effect is to increase the value of the MySpace inventory and decrease the value of the newspaper inventory.

    That might sound great for data companies like Microsoft, but unlikely to save newspapers, ne?

    What am I missing here?

  56. Display Ad CPMs Won't Recover by Dave Morgan
  57. Andrew Boer from OboeMedia commented on Jun 4, 12:20 PM
    I missed this article when it came out. I think it is exactly right..I would add a fourth reason why CPM's won't recover. A significant percentage of inventory in the market is now sold by Ad Networks who aren't price sensitive due to "passbacks" or "defaults". While they certainly would prefer to make the maximum amount on an ad sale, they have no skin in the game -- and any price is better than zero as long as the Publishers don't shut them off. So they all compete with lower and lower bids, driving prices down.

    I COULDN'T DISAGREE MORE!!

    Because they have "CEO" in their title doesn't make them right. I bet they have traditional marketing bias - I mean backgrounds - and don't even look at Adwords or Analtyics reports. Ask anyone that actually does online marketing and it not rocket since.

    I bet they are smart people, I would be happy to teach them how to measure and adjust online ads for better ROI in under an hour if they need my help.

  62. The Word, According to Facebook by George Simpson
  63. Brad Stewart from Adjoy Inc. commented on Jun 4, 9:03 AM
    Not to get distracted from the more salient issues in this article, but please George! "dastardly coward" or "pusillanimous" are obviously more appropriate when illustrating the dialogue of children. ???

    An international frictionless, and secure micro-payment system that hits a tipping point, as could well happen with FB's upcoming transaction system, is major news. The effects this will have on content et. al. monetization is earth shattering.

    Over 200 million people will have direct access to this currency, with very little transaction penalty. This could become the most pervasive currency in the world. Quickly.

    I applaud FB for jumping into the colloquial murky pool. Entire new economies could emerge from this long overdue act of bravado.

    Compliments on this very insightful piece, Maryanne. As our company increasingly publicizes green products and activities marketed to moms, it's helpful to gain a better understanding of the mindset of different categories of consumers.

  68. See Spots Run? And Addressable Issue by Mitch Oscar
  69. Cody Crane from CCH commented on Jun 3, 5:57 PM
    À la recherche du temps perdu Reading Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past was for years the Bar Mitzvah into Intellectual-hood for generations of masochists willing to suffer seven volumes of aimless wanderings through the daydreams and memories of characters unable to act. Proust's great contribution of "involuntary memories," memories in which our day to day events evoke unrelentingly boring recollections is a theme picked up in Mitch's latest souvenir involontaire. It seems as each day's events locate in his brain yet another flashback to the days Mitch actually worked in the advertising business. Ads need verification. Addressable ads need verification -do ya think?

  71. Search Reshaping The Advertising Business by Max Kalehoff
  72. John Nardone from [x+1] commented on Jun 4, 10:45 AM
    Max,

    You make some great points in your article, especially regarding the trend towards a flight to performance marketing in a down market, and how search has transformed the traditional purchase funnel into a continuous cycle with multiple points of entry.

    I would add that search-driven performance marketing can be continually optimized based on behavior and response, and that with high consideration purchases, even brand marketing can be performance (or ROI) based with the right digital emphasis. Also, this trend toward a purchase cycle shifts the focus to the website and landing pages, where advertisers need to utilize tools that will help them collect and leverage the right data and manage the customer experience, in order to give each visitor a rich, tailored experience that pushes the response button.

  77. Online Display CPMs Plummet, New 'Secondary Premium' Ad Market Emerges by Joe Mandese
  78. Kathryn Koegel from Marketing Consulting commented on Jun 4, 9:14 AM
    What I don't get is why publishers, who own those audiences that Rubicon is calling the "secondary premium market" are not fully monetizing them themselves. Ad networks perform a valuable service but have commoditized online advertising into DR inventory and will continue to erode pricing. The move towards publishers of quality content creating vertical networks and not declaring that anything non-contextual on their sites is "remnant" is a positive one. For an in depth discussion of ongoing challenges plus positive developments in display, this paper was published last month: www.primaryimpact.com/stateofdisplay.html

  83. Coping With Recession by Jack Loechner
  84. Britta Meyer from Loomia commented on Jun 3, 7:16 PM
    very insightful study, thank you! it's fascinating to think about one consumer's different profiles depending on the product or service considered for consumption. as an example, I'm consistently not an ostrich, but a justifier (for the opera outfit since we have the tickets already), a treater (saved all week on brought-in luncheons, now can buy champagne for the weekend), and somewhat of a vulture (for condo-shopping). would popular segment combinations possibly provide additional insight to marketers?

  86. BT: Can It Mean Behavioral Responses To Ads? by Laurie Sullivan
  87. Carolyn Hansen from Hacker Group commented on Jun 4, 3:01 PM
    I'm showing my bias as a direct marketer, but I have to wonder why it's so significant to know that my advertising message made someone sweat or raised their heart rate. That's not really the goal, is it? In direct marketing, the goal is sales. In traditional advertising the goal is awareness or brand liking. Not palpitations.

    The significant quote is: "When the media evokes an emotional response -- a rise in active attention -- then you know you have a message that had an impact."

    Maybe. But you have no idea what kind of impact.

    It strikes me as a little sad that David Ogilvy himself (for whom I assume the Grand Ogilvy is named) said "If I want to get a high recall score, all I have to do is put a gorilla in a jockstrap." Attention is not... - Read more

  95. Can't We All Just Get Along? by Casey Wilson
  96. Michael Hubbard from Media Two Interactive commented on Jun 4, 12:16 PM
    Not that I disagree completely with your article, but being on both the winning side and the losing side - I can tell you with 100% certainty that none of this is the agencies responsibility. How professional this is handled comes down to how professional a client lays out the ground work. For example, a year or so ago we lost a large client - and the client notified us via email (bad move #1). The new interactive director flat out lied b/c she didn't understand what we were doing, so she brought in a new agency. After a 3+ year successful relationship with the company (before this new director came into play), we did not want the company to fail as we enjoyed them and believed in them - so we did everything in our... - Read more

  98. Deal Advances E-Wallet Technology, But Adoption Still Slow by Laurie Sullivan
  99. Anne Gallagher from Catapult Marketing commented on Jun 4, 11:23 AM
    Thanks for the article, but I am surprised that you didn't mention 2D codes directly. While RFID tagging isn't as readily accessible to the general public since you need a reader and some cash to create the tags, 2D codes can be used by anyone with a smartphone, right now, for free.

    The slow adoption rate in the U.S. has been a Catch-22; marketers & retailers hesitate to use & promote the technology because the public doesn't use it, but the public doesn't use it because they've never seen it. Hopefully awareness will start to pick up momentum because the communication and marketing potential of 2D codes are really exciting. Thanks.

  101. 7-Eleven To Intro Iced-Coffee Market In Big Way by Karl Greenberg
  102. Rosanne Fernandez from Comax Flavors commented on Jun 4, 11:17 AM
    Coffee beverages are really becoming huge. Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and McDonalds...now 7-11 iced coffee. It makes what used to be considered an "adult drink" appetizing to people of all ages because it has become more of a dessert type beverage. It is a little strange to have my 14 year old be asking me for coffee, but I understand why when it is served to you with the whipped cream and the little chocolate swirl on top.

    Those ruins are more often than not ancient Armenian churches that the Turks destroyed after their etnnic cleansing of entire villages of people who used to worship in them. The Ottoman Empire had millions of Christian citizens, now the country of 70 million is 99.8 percent Muslim - and before anyone books a vacation (s)he should stop to think how that happened.

  113. 7 Myths Of Metrics by Gray Hammond
  114. David Slatter from Claymore Marketing llc commented on Jun 3, 5:18 PM
    Great article- over the past 28 years I have come across all of these myths in various forms and disguises in some of the most unlikely organizations. In many cases there are metrics in place, however they are not synchronized and shared across the organization. The result is the organization lacks a holistic view of the customer experience. Metrics should be defined so as to track the customer experience as they move through the various touchpoints, and with the correct sequencing it is possible to watch out for dependencies and leading indicators that can act as an early warning system.
