On Monday we received news that Microsoft adCenter was upgraded with some new features that will really help us manage campaigns much easier. Microsoft finally responded to many requests to make these changes. These changes include improvements to Campaign Management, Editorial Improvements, User Management and Content Ads.

We’re wrapping up our conference tour at PubCon Las Vegas again this year. PubCon is one of our favorite events. Besides being a great opportunity to learn from some of the industry’s top search marketers and webmasters, we also have a great time meeting and networking with new business contacts.
With the economy in a tailspin and seemingly only getting worse, sales of high end luxury products and services are taking a serious hit. The economy and particularly the stock market has been in a steady decline for months and while luxury sales have declined in turn, it’s only now when we are hitting rock bottom (hopefully) that this relationship appears to be crystal clear. I dug into this a little more and this is what I came up with, the trends are undeniably clear.
