Sexy Viral Marketing

MSN has launched a fully animated search engine to combat Google.

Ms. Dewey is a young, black librarian doing her best to help you find what you are looking for, but who gets bored if you don’t ask her the right question. This is how it works. You enter a search term and regular search result will appear on a pop up window. Then, before you actually get any results, Ms. Dewey comes into action. She will try to tell you the answer. This usually takes a lot of time on Ms. Dewey’s side. The whole thing is fun and the animations are fantastic. However, as a search tool, it might not work at all for three reasons.

1) Response time is very slow
2) Results are difficult to read
3) No advanced search features

I am guessing lots of people will go to the site to play around for a while, but to make a serious search most of them will go back to Google.

But take a look for yourself and tell me what you think. Check Ms. Dewey HERE

I'll Be Right Back

Hi There!

As you have probably noticed I have not been posting anything for a long time now. Reason? No reason. Well, I have been extremely busy lately. I even became a father for the third time during this period of blogging silence.

Anyway I just wanted to let you know that I will be posting new things shortly and hopefully on a regular basis.

Thanks

Hourly Reporting--AdWord's New Feature

Google AdWords has come up with a new service; hourly reporting for account performance and campaign performance report. This new tool will allow AdWords advertisers to see impression, click, cost, CTR, and average CPC data for the entire account or specific campaigns on an hourly basis. This information is very valuable to analyze customer behavior and choose the best time to run your ads on Google.

The Google AdWords team is constantly coming up with new features and tools to make my job easier. Google is like Wal-Mart, you either like it or you hate it. I certainly love Google’s spirit of innovation. How about you, what do you think about Google?

Cádiz Pictures WebSite

A friend of a friend of mine just launched a new website. His site is a balcony to my hometown Cádiz.

Cádiz is the oldest city in Europe, founded in 1100 BC by the Phoenicians who called it Gadir and traded Baltic amber and British tin, as well as Spanish silver. The city subsequently became a naval base for the Romans before fading into obscurity until 1262 when it was taken from the Muslims by Alfonso X.

The real boom period was with the discovery of America as Columbus sailed from this port on his second and fourth voyages. Much later the city enjoyed a golden age during the 18th century when it enjoyed 75% of Spanish trade with America. From this time it grew into one of the wealthiest and most cosmopolitan cities in Spain and most of the city's fine buildings date from this time.

On his new website my friend provides hundreds of pictures of Cádiz that certainly show the beauty of the city. Walking through Cádiz is walking through history. I invite you to take a minute of your time to walk through its fine buildings, monuments and lose yourself for a moment in the beauty of its beaches. Just Click HERE to begin the journey.

Invalid Clicks Tool

Google has come up with a new feature enabling advertisers to keep track of invalid click activity in their account. The metrics of invalid clicks and invalid clicks rate will show virtually all the invalid clicks affecting an account.

One of the most controversial issues related to PPC has been estimating how big the problem of click fraud is. It has long been suggested that click fraud was rampant approaching 30% to 50% of all clicks. However, a study by Click Forensics shows that “the overall, industry wide click fraud rate is 13.7%. The click fraud rate at top-tier search engine such as Google and Yahoo is even less at 12.1%.”

This new AdWords feature will make mush easier for all advertisers to estimate invalid click activity.

The Madness of War

This post has nothing to do with Internet Marketing, PPC, Affiliate Marketing or how to boost your internet sales. This post is about the horrors of war.

I read the story of Nuhader Monsoor this morning on CNN and I felt I had to do something about it. And since there is little I can do to stop a war, I decided to write about it to show my indignation.

Nuhader Monsoor is an 8- year-old boy who at this very moment is lying in a hospital bed somewhere in Lebanon horribly burned, “His pain cannot possibly be imagined as he shakes uncontrollably in and out of shock. He has blood coming from his eyes.” Next to him is his 8-months-old sister also terribly burned and his mother whose crying can be heard all over the hospital. They were trying to flee the fighting waiving white flags when an Israeli missile slammed into their car. The father died instantly.

Now, I have no doubt Israeli intelligence was well informed Nuhader and his 8-month-sister were Hezbollah members and a danger to Israel national security.

Sadly there are politics like Tony Blair, Condoleezza Rice, President Bush, and Israel Prime Minister who think it is not yet the right time to stop this madness.

My heart breaks imaniging that little boy whose screams can be heard from the hospital’s hallway and whose life has been shattered by the hypocrisy of governments. Who is the terrorist here?

If the God I know is a God of love, then Nuhader’s cries shall be heard,justice shall prevail and Nuhader’s suffering will be nothing compared to what is in store for those who put conditions to stop a war.
