  • Search Engine Strategies San Jose 2006 – Day One
    This morning, when walking towards the conference area, you can smell the excitement in the air for this SES event. San Jose is believed to be the SES event of the year. The conference center is very fitting for the event, the distance from the hotel lobby is very close, the rooms are large enough to fit the large crowds and the search engine companies live just around the corner.

  • Google & Viacom Partner In Video Ad Test

The video clips will contain ads from Viacom, which Google and site owns will share the revenues from. These tests are to begin towards the end of the month. This is the first step, I bet, to AdWords on TV. Last week we reported that Google Radio is coming to XM Satellite Radio, so TV isn’t so far fetched. FYI – sorry for short posts, SES San Jose is today and coverage will be slow. Towards the…
  • Google Music, Not Any Time Soon
    News.com reports that Google has no plans to sell music anytime soon. Chris Sacca, head of business development for Google, said Thursday at a NARM (National Association of Recording Merchandisers) conference; We are not going to be selling music.” There were many rumors about a Google Music coming soon, check out our rumor coverage here.
