Oh i Wonder how this will all end
Imagine if Microsoft’s blocked access to Google product through their browsers..and offered an alternative search tool.. Iknow it will not happen and i know it would be anti competitive but imagine, a world with out googles dominance.
Interesting
Not the absolute definitive tool, but is there one?
but damn good in my opinion
Yahoo’s site explorer, I hope it doesn’t diappear into the mocrosoft ether
Here is an article about the latest results from Google. Feb 2008

What more could you want, well a few shares in Yahoo would have been good….
Its been a while since i posted on this blog, and I thought time to make a few posts….
My blog actually has a page rank of 1 woo hoo, from nothing to 1 well better than nothing.
Not that it seems page rank is much of a indicator of anything these days….
Yahoo and Google going into battle, well the next stage of it anyway….. not exactly news guys
Microsoft takes aim at Google’s gold mine
I been using the MS windows desktop search more and more on my work laptop, out of necessity whilst looking for old emails fast.
Mind you all my emails are stored quite cleanly and are no more than 4 months old, so its amazing that the i still have troubles finding what I am after at times.
But I digress as usual, its only a matter of time before I click on the web results of a search I am performing.
So may be there will be a battle
mmmm

Check out this service driven website when you get the chance.
Quotify is a part branded site that is part of Life events media.
Interesting idea for a business not dissimilars to service central or even local search.
So far they are covering a couple of industries.
Pest control
Cleaning
Carpet cleaning
Kitchens
Removalists
and securtiy
I wonder what areas they will be moving into next.
The whole life events idea is smart, I swear the old one to one marketing is slowly coming intop play… Next we will be eye scanning like in the
“Minority report”.
later Ken

Google get some press in Australia.
Funnily enough I haven’t seen many article on Google Australia.
Shouldn’t be so hard for them being so dominant in the market with what about 80% of all searches in OZ.
And considering they are in the same building as Fairfax it would be hard to not bump into each other literally.
Not to mention the fact that the new boss comes from there as well.
Here is the full article in the SMH.com.au
now for some Google ads
I love it from “advertising cars to selling cars” different mind set for the team in the end…
results are great up 100%
This is an article from baandt

Slowly but surely i am going to get through this list of money making affiliate programs
This is part three where i am going to take a look see at www.clickbank.com.
Who are they and how does it work……..?
ClickBank is the Internet’s largest digital marketplace, where thousands of the web’s most popular products are sold every day. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or promote digital products, ClickBank is for you.
Click bank’s affiliate program suggests”
Here are just a few of the features and benefits over 100,000 affiliates just can’t stop talking about:
* Simple, fast, and free account setup.
* Over 10,000 products to promote.
* Commissions as high as 75%.
* High-converting products drive high ROI on your marketing programs.
* Reliable and accurate tracking gives you credit for your successful marketing strategies.
* We manage the publisher relationships, so you always get paid what you are owed.
* Since our first day of business in 1998, we’ve never missed a payment.
So in short you are advertising a bunch of other peoples products and taking a commission (clipping the ticket) of all products that are sold from a referral from your site or blog. I would imagine this is a great service to use if you want some extra cash from you “niche” electronics forum or blog say for new mobile phones for instance……
Registration:
1. One page with your payment details and personal contact details so far very easy !
2. email confirmation and code we are now done pretty easy really
now look for a product to distribute
ok found one …..just!
then cut and paste the link to place behind your ad or cut and past there code like this
“Are you looking to find out about your competitors adword campaigns ! If so then you need to check ou this software it will save you time and thus money.
Work smarter not harder to find out how “Click Here!
Ok this product placement works ok…maybe if you have a specific type of site and audience….but the biggest problem for me is the actually products or services to be advertised..check them out they all seems to be crappy quick cash pyramid style schemesss saty away or thats the way it felt to me….would you really wan to be associated with these sites ansd services..tae a look foryourself and make up your own mind 1 1/ 2 out of ten for me.
