Mr. Google

Written by Andrew | April 27th, 2007 |

I was watching Real Time with Bill Maher last week, when guest Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer started referring to Mr. Google and its ability to be “big brother” by tracking consumer behavior, and I was wondering if he knew that Google is about to get its hands on an enormous amount of non search consumer data. I am referring to Google’s $3 Billion purchase of DoubleClick last week, and its now clear ability to link up Search and display data from 2 companies that have 10 years of tracking and monitoring of what, where, how consumers are interacting with the Web.

SES Chicago vs. Webmaster World PubCon

Written by Lorrin | April 25th, 2007 |

There seems to be a bit of a competition this year with the two of the largest search conferences out there. During the first full week of December, Search Engine Strategies Chicago will be going on as well as Webmaster PubCon. There seems to be tension between the two and people are trying to figure out which one will be the more informative one to go to.
