Video Ads With Google AdWords
Next time you search on Google you may notice video ads included with the "Sponsored Links" ads. For example if you do a search for "cell phones" you will most likely see something similar to the image below.
If you look at the bottom right hand side of the image above you will notice an ad for Blackberry cell phones. The Blackberry ad is like any other AdWords ad but once you look below the display URL you will notice a link that says "Watch Demonstration".
Here is an image of the BlackBerry AdWords ad:
Once you click on the "Watch Demonstration" link a small video box will open up and a 30 second video clip will play. The image below is an example of what the BlackBerry ad looks like:
Changes to AdWords Display URL Policy on April 1st
Google will be updating its URL policy for every AdWords account. Beginning on April 1, 2008, your display URL must match your landing URL.
For some people this may come as news, meaning that they did not know that the URL's did not have to match with the landing URL to begin with.
Below is an example of an AdWords ad that does not share the same display and landing URL. The ad's display URL shows www.IPOWERWEB.com/products/ - but the display URL should really be http://www.Blog.IPOWERWEB.com because the IPOWERWEB Blog will be the landing URL.
So as of April 1, 2008 the display URL for the ad above will have to be http://www.Blog.IPOWERWEB.com. Here is an example of what the ad will now look like.

Every web site should have an "About Us" section, providing users with information about your company. A typical "About Us" section includes your company's history, mission, and contact information.
Your site should never have outdated contact information. If you ever move, change email addresses, and/or change your phone number - make sure to update your web site. Here is IPOWERWEB's "About Us" page and it is always up to date.
Get Search Tips From Google
Google is currently testing Google Suggest on its homepage. Google Suggest provides Google's users with search suggestions as they type information within the search box.
Google Suggest was first seen around December 2004 and does not base its suggestions on your personal search history at the moment. Rather Google Suggest uses data regarding the popularity of various search terms in order to assist in providing users with search suggestions.
The image below is an example of Google's suggested search terms when you type "ipow" - the first for letters of IPOWERWEB.
Both Yahoo and Ask.com provide search suggestions by default. It will be interesting to see if Google will keep providing Google Suggest on its homepage.
