Mobile Ads" ----------------------------------------------------------------- // -- FEATURED POST -- // ----------------------------------------------------------------- ==> Odd Results "Strange findings that the SEO industry itself had virtually no growth from 2005 through 2006." From: Lee OddenI thought the article was a bit odd myself and it makes me wonder whether the audience surveyed for the report was weighted more heavily towards in-house marketers. Regardless, just about everyone I know in the SEO biz that has any talent, is turning down business weekly and some daily. It's a great time to be in this industry. -- Lee Odden http://www.toprankresults.com http://www.marketingblog.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- // -- CONITUING DISCUSSION -- // ----------------------------------------------------------------- ==> PR Update "Just thought I'd let you know multiple datacenters are showing new PR activity :) - Joost de Valk" http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/more-info-on-pagerank/ Essentials: Matt Cutts answers some questions from comments on his popular blog. Most of the concern is around the time delay by Google when they get around to exporting PR scores for use in the toolbar. Matt announced the update without promising to do so every time. This time it happened to coincide with his noticing threads appearing (like the SearchReturn post by Joost de Valk last week). ----------------------------------------------------------------- // -- ESSENTIAL NEWS -- // ----------------------------------------------------------------- ==> Yahoo! Mobile Ads http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/061004-090744 Essentials: Yahoo! beta launches paid mobile search ads in the US after testing in the UK and Japan. Mobile ads will allow users to visit advertiser sites, and includes a phone number so users can go ahead and dial right there. It's important to note the ads are to display in Mobile Web Search, and not through SMS which is typically powered by the carrier. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stay Tuned.
