Google Business Solutions Updated

There are no huge changes, but the design and content layout of Google Business Solutions has changed.


Already having changed Google Sitemaps to Google Webmaster Central, it seems that the bees in Mountain View have been very busy.

Google's Own Maps + Local + Main Search Results Mash-up

I never know if this stuff is new, but because I use Google all the time and I've never seen it, I'm going to make the assumption that it is. What you see below is a Gmap in the Gserps... Something I've definitely never seen before. Has anybody else seen this?

Google More: Suggestions

Do a search for "Portland." Notice anything different? Sure you do.


It's almost like a Google suggestion tool right? Kind of cool. I'll see what I can find out.

Jets Draft Kellen Clemens

Holy Crap - how stoked am I right now? My favorite NFL team, daaaa Jets. Favorite college team? Well, since I'm a Duck it has to be Oregon.

Clemens is going to kick major butt in New York! Can't wait to see him play with the other O-line picks.

Yahoo and Prudential team up in real estate

I wish I could find more information about this online, but I just can't. I was watching TV when I say a commercial advertising Prudential Financial and Yahoo Real Estate.

It seems to me this is significant, especially with Google getting a lot of attention for their inclusion in the Pontiac commercial.

More Yahoo Images

I think these are pretty cool, so I took some extra screen shots. It seems that I can only find the Yahoo image text ads on Yahoo Sports articles and only using Firefox, but not IE (at least not the IE 7 preview).

Here was my original post about the Yahoo images in their text ads.

Yahoo Ads Displaying Images

So I was reading about how George Mason beat Connecticut in the NCAA tournament when I got to the bottom of the article. Holy Crap - look what I found!

Yahoo's sponsored links at the bottom of the page have small little images screen shots of the destination website.

Here is what I saw:



Now, I have not seen this before, but let me check into this a little bit more and I'll blog it up if I find anything else.

PS - Hey Yahoo, can we get a little YPN love and throw some images in our contextual ads? Please?

Google Base On GSerps

Haha, I ran across this in the Google Serps yesterday when doing a search for "Google Jobs." Thought that it was something new, then changed back to reporting old news, only to find out it was new news. Go figure. :0)
