 SEO Hand Wringing
SEOmozBlog
It appears Google's SearchWiki has caught the attention of SEO experts and media. Rand Fishkin has been fielding a round of questions, read a bunch of blog posts, and seen a whole lot of hand-wringing. Not to worry. It's called "change," he writes. Just as it happened with personalization, local results and geo-targeting, Google Knol, and Universal Search, it will happen again.
Attempting to calm a few frazzled nerves, Fishkin writes: "The biggest true changes I've seen to SEO have come from directional shifts at Google that typically received far less publicity and media attention." For example, when Google rolled out the Florida update in Winter 2003, many low quality sites lost rankings, according to Fishkin. So, relax. Enjoy the holidays. Then get back to work. - Read the whole story... Practices Makes Perfect Display Ads

Advanced segmentation features in Google AdWords lets you increase or decrease bids based on the time and day of the week. Fergie believes this tool is useful because traffic on certain days at specific times is more likely to convert to sales. - Read the whole story... Sticky Wicky Biddings

Marketers are divided on the issue of trademark bidding as a search strategy in which one company bids on its competitor's name or trademarked term in PPC campaigns, according to Brian Combs. Search engines Google, MSN and Yahoo don't look favorably on the practice, either, but it's being done more often these days.
If you own a trademark and competitors are bidding on it, Combs reminds us, the increased competition for the trademarked keywords means pricier bids. So, if you are concerned about competitors using your branded terms, defend your trademark by conducting search audits at least once every month and closely monitoring paid search results or PPC contextual ads. - Read the whole story... 9 SEO Bookmarklets To Grab
