Google articles in the news

As everybody here knows by now, I spend a lot of time reading about Google to make sure that I can help my clients get the best search engine positioning but what a lot of people might not realize is that not everything I read in a given week has any commercial value at all, sometimes it’s just nifty little notes like the fact that Google has increased the white space around it’s logo, most likely not something the average surfer would notice but it signifies a change at the big G, so it’s worth noting.

There’s a really interesting article about job aggregators, not so much Google but a great piece on how the industry works (and will be working) as well as a neat look at the process of aggregating content. 

Two neat pieces Google’s decision to add images to AdSense, the first at Search Engine Watch and another at WebProNews. I can’t stress how important it is for professional web masters to read both of these websites daily, it’ll save you hours of sifting through less informative articles. MarketingVox takes a slightly different approach to the same story, well worth the read if you’ve got a few extra minutes but as usual, Jordan’s summed it up the best at Marketing Pilgrim (Google Adds Image Ads to AdSense Link Units).

On a slightly less AdSense related kick, Live From Google I/O 2009 will let you see the inner workings of the worlds largest search engine, I love these types of posts because it helps remind us all that Google is about people, not data. The Google Analytics blog exposes Top Ten Myths About Google Analytics while Matt Cutts has a piece on Searchology that makes it sound much less like a cult than the name implies.

Well, that’s me for the week. If you’ve not already seen the new website please take a look at the new Great Chefs website and let me know what you think, also please remember to download and vote for my plugins, it’s an easy way to let me know you appreciate what I write and program. Have a great weekend!

The result, a dynamic and professional website that can updated quickly and results in high search engine positioning.

Working with Christopher Bavota, I recently wrapped up work on the Yorkville University website. The website makes extensive use of WordPress to power a search engine optimized publishing system as well as Google Analytics to ensure near real time reporting for marketing and web statistics.

The artwork offers an expandable framework to accommodate the projected growth of the school while the site itself is built to be W3C compliant and work on browsers ranging from a Nintendo Wii and various handhelds to traditional web browsers. The site was fully tested across mobile platforms using Adobe Device Central and three operating systems.
