Microsoft Eclipses Yahoo In US Search!

reitz — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 03:18:49 +0000

The real story is that Yahoo has simply had a steady slide downwards. And Bing has barely increased. Plus, AT WHAT COST for Microsoft? Lots of $$$ spent with their online division and so far, they are in the red since Bing started… So basically this is really a story of Google continuing it’s dominance with a 65% market share since like forever… A non story really… Oh well guess it was a slow news day

reitz — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 19:28:22 +0000

Ever wondered how Google is FREE for us to use?!?! One word… ADWORDS! A few years ago, I did research for the keyword for new york real estate and the highest cost per click for the number one position was $22 as I recall with more than 4 million search for it monthly… crazy numbers… This is a great graphic detailing where Google makes it’s MOOLAH. Enjoy!

Google Plus Posts Showing Up in SERPS

reitz — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 01:24:36 +0000

Here it is… the beginning of the end of Google Search’s dominance… when Google Plus starts to dilute search…

Some posts are now showing up in the SERPS. They are not ‘ranking like crazy’ yet and they are far from perfect and it is not every post, but they are there. Should we start optimizing?

5 Reasons Google+ Is Not A Facebook Killer

reitz — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 23:13:26 +0000

I agree with this article… Google Plus could more easily target Linked In than Facebook… Facebook really has to STUMBLE in some major epic fail sort of way… but I am really not seeing that happen, are you?

The single biggest problem that Google may be up against right now is that they’re fighting a battle from behind. While I anticipate very solid growth early on, once users realize that many of their friends haven’t moved over, rather than have to access yet another social media resource to communicate, they’ll slowly move back to just the one. The one where all their friends and contacts already are, where they can communicate in one location: Facebook.

What SEO means in 2011…

reitz — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:39:38 +0000

So what DOES SEO stand for anyway? 5 years ago I’d EASILY tell you it stands for Search Engine Optimization… but not any more… SEO NOW stands for internet marketing strategist as there is just WAY MORE going on now than 5 years ago. Google Search is constantly adding (and subtracting) new stuff, Facebook is now uber-important, and Google Plus is on the way. The below linked is a great article attesting to my feelings on this very topic.

Beligian Newspapers Claim Retaliation By Google After Copyright Victory

Be careful about suing Google. You MIGHT just ~~WIN~~ LOSE!!!

The newspapers’ content has been removed not only from Google News (as desired) but the entire Google index. Now the newspapers are crying foul, saying that Google is “retaliating” against them for their legal victory.

Ditch Google, Bing for Unfiltered Search with DuckDuckGo

reitz — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 12:45:50 +0000

DuckDuckGo doesn’t customize results to its users, so you’ll get a more diverse array of content types and perspectives, allowing you to altruistically see the myriad points of view offered by the web – or at least that’s the line DDG is going with.

This is great news as the big dogs of search are filtering more and more and more. Overall, this is especially worrisome to me and reminds me of "GROUP THINK"… if everyone thinks something is a good idea and gives it a plus 1 in Google then it will rise in the rankings… I don’t recall wanting to get everybody ELSE’s opinion on search results… search is NOT the FAMILY FEUD for Pete’s sake! I want to get a scientific search untarnished by public opinion / emotions. I am starting to think that with Plus 1 and Facebook influencing search that Google’s rise is at its apex and will now start down the path of ancient Rome… DuckDuckGo: Ditch Google, Bing for Unfiltered Search – Search Engine Watch #SEW.

I’ve made the switch finally. No longer use Google Apps fo eMail as I have previously discussed. Instead, I am using Apple’s Mobile Me and forwarding email from my webhost to my me.com account. And I have switched out Google as my primary search tool and gone to DuckDuckGo.com See below!

Google + 1 influences search results

reitz — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 19:01:33 +0000

Google +1 WILL skew search results, Google has said this. It may also indirectly affect click through rate which seems obvious as it is designed to bring users in and encourage clicking. Read more about this here how Google +1 and Facebook Likes compare
