barry beat me to blogging this as I’m far to busy so credit to him for picking up on it.

You can see his post here: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/022347.html

When he wrote about it the screen grab he had didn’t show this bug so I sent him one from a site of mine.

Here is the drop is click and impression according to google webmaster tools:

And here is a screen shot of traffic:

Bit of a google bug

As of today google have updated google suggestion to include the exchange rates..

I so love this as it gives me a fast indication of the current price..

I have one biz that sells in GBP and USD but buys in Euro so I’m always checking prices.

Here is a screen shot..

I am loving this feature

Loads of buzz about the double click top 1000 sites today…

You can check it out here: http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/

I got some very interesting sites in the top 100 and shows how many of the sites are non US.

VirginMedia over here in the UK is number 1000..

You can see its stats here: https://www.google.com/adplanner/planning/site_profile#siteDetails?identifier=virginmedia.com

So..

How to get into the top 1000 sites, well you need traffic and is not a much as you think..

According to the data on the above page you need..

500,000 to million page impression per day.

700,000 visitors per day (makes no sense regarding the page view but hey)

That’s about its..

So some silly maths..

If you paid google 2p per click with zero natural rankings its would cost you £14,000 per day to make it into the top 1000

A sad day for the olympics 2010 with the death of a training session on the luge..

Nodar Kumaritashvili dies after crash which you can read about here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympic_games/vancouver_2010/luge/8513595.stm

Google has still got the graphic of the luge on the home page…

I’m not sure if it was linking to “vancouver 2010 luge” before but only links to “vancouver 2010″ for now..

Its very sad and google should change the graphic imho…

Not that I really care of follow PR updates much any more but I’ve noticed my PR slap has been removed.. I wonder why..

I don’t promote this blog and never sold a link on it but did put a few links to some test sites I was playing with at the time.. I still have social shop link see bottom right..

Most of my links come from SERT and I’m a mod and don’t do much blogging here so don’t promote in anyway..

Looking at this blog again, I forgot I’d started in 2006 omg I’m getting old LOL..

Anyway my rant over about PR and how and slap can come and go…

Following on from the announcement by google today (here) about the sitelinks in google ads I thought I’d show a screen shot of how to add them.

As always barry at SER has blog a front end example here: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/021070.html

So how to add them… Well I’ve just check my adwords accounts and only found it on half of them.

Anyway…

• Login to adwords >>
• click on a  Campaign >>
• Click the “Setting” tab.
• Scroll down to find (or not) the Networks, devices and extensions.

Here what is says:

Show additional links to my site within my ad

You can enter up to 10 additional links that may be shown with your ad. Additional links will only be shown for the single top-ranked ad for a given user search. Additional links are more likely to appear the higher the quality of the ad, and may not always be shown for every top-ranked ad.

And links to this help FAQ https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?answer=164778&hl=en_GB

I’m looking forward to the ones that say “Don’t buy from them  >>”

hehehee.

PPC just got really creative!!!

Enjoy!

This is a first for me…

I’ve not seen dots before.

hmmm Maybe a test ?

I’ve just ran a load of searches and can only find this one example.

Anyway here is a screen shot. Notice the … after “Search Engine Optimisation”

This search returns the dot: click here

So last night I was surfing around on the Iphone looking for a new SLR digi camera.

I went to google shopping (base) to have a looky…

So what was wrong?

I was on google.co.uk and the prices all came up in GBP £ fine…

I then clicked option to set and price range for what I was willing to send and so what’s on offer. The options  menu only give me prices ranges in USD $ ?

Odd.. Any I clicked on one to see if it would work and maybe some sort of cache. Google then pull in the USD range but output the GBP £ range..

Here is the iphone screen shot showing URL .co.uk/m with both USD $ and GBP £ showing on the results page.

PRS http://www.prsformusic.com and youtube have stuck a deal at last..

Each time you watch a music video on youtube in the uk the artist will now get some £ from youtube.

In march 2009 youtube in the uk took off the music video’s which you can read about here: click here

Today PRS and youtube are at last happy with the amount of money to be paid to each artist for each video view in the UK.

rickrolling should make rick astley some $$$$

I have yet to find out what google/youtube will be paying per video but it sounds like it a small amount.

Blog post from youtube with full detail here

Some negative reports from the bbc today about google earth about people using it to rob churches lead from the roofs.

A wave of people taking lead from roofs of many churches and other buildings have be hitting the uk over the last 2-3years due to is ease of removing it and the access to building like churches that are covered in it.

Walley’s comments follow 70 thefts from Lichfield diocese churches last year alone. Criminals have even used aerial photographs on Google Earth to locate the most lucrative hauls.

Quote from: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/article6806469.ece

St Leonards church Colchester has been hit and just using google maps you can see the lead here: click here

Many people worried about the security issues of home and businesses with google earth, google maps and street view but it seems the mass criminal activities is focused on lead.
