PRX Builder NewsAds(TM)

clipper's remarks: I need to learn more about this. Ad's for press releases, interesting.

Although news releases should not be advertisements themselves, there’s nothing wrong with hawking your headlines to get peoples’ attention. That’s why I developed NewsAds™ for PRX Builder.

What’s a NewsAd?

NewsAds are advertisements that are published to the Google AdWords network. You know, the ads that appear besides the Google search results and on web pages across the internet. PRX Builder now offers NewsAds as an additional feature for each news release. Publish your release through PRX Builder and then create a NewsAd about your release on Google AdWords.

This is an interesting development because parts of the PR industry thinks it can do quite well by getting around the media and publish directly to potential customers. Yes, they can, but few people ask if this strategy makes much sense.

But with independent media rapidly disappearing, what are the PR firms going to do? Publish to Google it seems...

CBS and Google are in "serious talks" aimed at making the content of CBS television shows available on Google-acquired YouTube, where it could be sponsored by local advertisers, Advertising Age reported Thursday. The two sides are reportedly seeking to settle on a guaranteed amount that CBS would be paid for its programs. The trade publication said that the deal would also include a provision under which Google would pay CBS additional compensation for "past transgressions" -- the posting of CBS content in the past -- for which the network received no payment but which helped to make YouTube worth $1.65 billion when Google acquired it last November.

GoogleBase: Make content that isnt online searchable

What is Google Base?

Google Base is a place where you can easily submit all types of online and offline content, which we'll make searchable on Google (if your content isn't online yet, we'll put it there). You can describe any item you post with attributes, which will help people find it when they do related searches. In fact, based on your items' relevance, users may find them in their results for searches on Froogle, Google Maps and even our main Google web search.

Cost: Free

How to Submit: You can submit information about all types of online and offline content to Google Base, by either the standard web form or, if you have more than 10 items to submit, via our bulk upload options. When you submit information via the web form, you can attach up to 15 digital files in the following formats: PDF (.pdf), Microsoft Excel (.xls), Text (.txt), HTML (.html), Rich Text Format (.rtf), Word Perfect (.wpd), ASCII, Unicode and XML. Please note: the files you upload may not exceed 20 megabytes total in size, and we reserve the right to review all items in order to ensure they comply with the Google Base Terms and Conditions.

Languages: Google Base is currently available in English and German interfaces.

Reach: Items you submit to Google Base might be found on Google properties like Google, Froogle, and Google Maps.

How it's different: Google Base enables you to add attributes describing your content, so that searchers can easily find it. The more popular individual attributes become, the more often we'll suggest them when others post the same items. Similarly, items that become more popular will show up as suggested item types in the Choose an existing item type drop-down menu.

Friendster partners with Google

Friendster CEO Kent Lindstrom revealed today that the social network is going to partner with Google - the search giant will power Friendster’s search and text ads, just as it does on MySpace. The deal is to last two years and financials weren’t disclosed. But since Friendster reports less than 1 million monthly unique visitors, the agreement won’t be on the same scale as the $900 million Google-MySpace deal.

The hookup is another letdown for Yahoo, which currently powers Friendster search. It also seems to extend Google’s dominance of social networking ads: with Google powering the advertising and search on MySpace, Friendster and (eventually) YouTube, there can’t be many major networks left to hook up with. Facebook already struck a deal with Microsoft, so perhaps Google will set its sights on Bebo next?

Deli.cio.us to Custom Search Engine

Vik Singh, an ex-Google (part-time) employee, created a tool that turns your Del.icio.us bookmarks into a Google Custom Search Engine. Vik describes the technical details and general background of this project. Caveat: you need to provide your Del.icio.us password.

Previous articles on Google’s Custom Search Engine service include the initial CSE review as well as advanced CSE tips.

Custom Search Engine FAQ

What is a Custom Search Engine?

A Custom Search Engine is a tailored search experience, built using Google's core search technology, which prioritizes or restricts search results based on websites and pages that you specify, and which can be tailored to reflect your point of view or area of expertise.

How does the Custom Search Engine work?

Simply submit websites or pages you'd like to include in your search engine index. You can choose either to restrict your search results to include only these pages and sites, or simply to give these pages and sites higher priority and ranking in the larger Google index. Once you've defined your search engine index, Google will give you a simple piece of code for a search box to place on your site or blog. You'll then have the option to choose various customization options to make the look and feel and functionality of your search engine your own.

What can I do with my Custom Search Engine? What customization options are available?

Apply your website's look and feel to the search results page.

Make money from your Custom Search Engine by participating in Google's AdSense program.

Provide search refinements within results pages to make it easier for searchers to find the information they're looking for.

Incrementally add sites to your search engine's index as you surf the web.

Invite friends and trusted users to co-edit and contribute to your search engine.

Why is Google launching this?

Google's mission is to connect people to information - no matter how specialized or specific - as quickly as possible. The Custom Search Engine allows you to combine Google's search algorithm with your own expertise to create a customized experience - thus making access to specific information across the web easier for your users.

Google vs. Technorati

Fri, 29 Dec 2006 21:15:16 GMT

clipper's remarks: I like to use both of them, some of the blogs/posts that Technorati misses gets picked up by Google.

Clip Source: weblogs.hitwise.com

When Google Blog Search launched last year, I wondered if it would surpass Technorati in market share of visits. This week Hitwise data show that the market share of visits to Google Blog Search surpassed visits to Technorati for the week ending 12/23/06. Google Blog Search began catching up to Technorati in October, when Google placed a link to Blog Search on the Google News home page, causing a 168% surge in market share for Google Blog Search over a two week period (week ending 10/14/06 vs. week ending 10/28/06). Since then, approximately 60% of Google Blog Search's traffic has been coming directly from Google News, compared to less than 1% before the change. Blogger Blog Search has been receiving about the same amount of traffic as Technorati, although it has dropped since Google Blog Search took off. Sphere, another blog search service, is still small, but growing.
