To the advertising company who’s running the campaign I have to say please get a clue!
I sidestep the whole “issue” of paid links, taking the do what works philosophy, so rest assured this post isn’t about that. Anyway, the text link ad product market is pretty slow moving, but there are a few new products on the market that I believe are very forward looking (hint: I think they will work in 2008), so I thought I’d mention them:
Jaimie from SEO Egghead has written a book about Search Engine Optimization that is now available at Amazon.
With the clock ticking after Google’s acquisition of DoubleClick, it was only a matter of time before Yahoo shot back. Yahoo announced today that they acquired online ad exchange Right Media for $680 million.On the surface the deal looks cheap compared to what Google paid for DoubleClick - $3.1 billion, but Wall St is maybe saying otherwise as Yahoo stock fell 1 percent today in early trading while Google’s stock was up slightly.
So what is Wall Street telling us? Maybe Yahoo OVERPAID?? Well, considering that Yahoo had announced in October that it was the lead investor in a $45 million round of financing for Right Media, and that a later disclosure showed that Yahoo had bought a 20 percent stake in the company…based on this valuation you are looking at Right Media being worth about $200 million! And Yahoo agrees to buy them for $680 million?? Paying more than 3 times the valuation for 80 percent of the company??….Hmmm…I think somebody panicked big time…but give Yahoo credit for making the moves to stay competitive with Google. And a lot of Wall Street analysts are saying this is a smart move for Yahoo. Time will tell…..

How a company can file bankruptcy is beyond us in this market of extreme growth.

Danny Sullivan used to program the Search Engine Strategies conferences, but he’s been less involved recently–his only shows in this year’s lineup were the New York and the upcoming San Jose events. Maybe that’s because he’s busy this year with his new conference series: the Search Marketing Expo.
The Search Marketing Expo is powered by Third Door Media. This company owns Search Engine Land, where Danny is currently editor-in-chief. Danny’s move from the SES series to the SMX series makes sense, since he recently left Search Engine Watch and has been saying he’s planning to stop working on the SES conferences for some time.

Last week I chatted with Levi from Wordze about the keyword research tool he built. Levi, who's chummy with SEOmoz's resident black hat blogger G-Man, is a programmer who tinkered around with various keyword research sites and decided to build his own.
