Here’s something to chew on: Microsoft wants to spend the next three to five years growing its online advertising market share by more than 300%.
What can you really say to such seemingly irrational ambition? Good luck, I suppose.
But really, if we’re honest, would it be right to expect any less pompous a plan to spew forth from Redmond? Considering the company’s history of public statements and prognostications, this memo seems like the kind of the thing they reflexively [...]

Over at the Search Engine Roundtable I discovered an interesting post discussing recent changes in Google's definition of a 'click' with regards to its AdSense publisher network.
"Last night I received an email from Google notifying me that they are changing the required action of a user, for a click to occur on an AdSense ad," explains Barry Schwartz. "Google said previously, if you clicked anywhere on an ad, including the background of the ad, that would constitute a click. Now, [...]

Today, Google Blogoscoped has announced that the mobile version of Google Docs is now available to users of the online office suite.
Last month, it was discovered that there were mobile-designed pages available with a link leading to docs.google.com/m, but at the time the URL resulted in a 404 error.
The Google Help Center has posted that the only devices officially supported are the iPhone and Blackberry devices while only mentioning for owners of other mobile devices that "a good rule of [...]

The mobile web is quickly surging in popularity, as the recent launch of AdSense for Mobile and resumed Firefox mobile development have shown.
FeedM8, a unique service that converts RSS feeds into a mobile-friendly format, is now the latest to experience the rush to go mobile first-hand, having announced that its publisher network has seen a massive increase in member sites, having added 1,000 new websites within the last 30 days alone.
The Toronto-based company officially launched the service in August [...]

A lot of numbers are being thrown around today in the world of technology. Big numbers. Investors are tossing cash on countless startups, large companies are buying up smaller ones at a daily rate. A whole lot of capital is at play, for sure.
But is this growth we’re seeing on the Web sustainable? Is this great big boom we’re currently experiencing going to be something ever greater numbers of people will continue to enjoy for a great many years to [...]

Following Google's announcement of AdSense video units yesterday, Blinkx has launched its own advertising platform for online videos to allow publishers to earn extra revenue.
Blinkx AdHoc is much more universal than Google's new offering which is limited to select YouTube videos. With AdHoc, users can add text advertisements to video from any of the major video-sharing sites including YouTube, Google Video, MySpace, Revver, Metacafe, Veoh, DailyMotion, and more.
The process is simple and can have website owners and bloggers set up [...]

Not too long ago, I discovered that YouTube had quietly added a new page explaining new video units with embedded AdSense ads that bloggers and website owners could implement to earn additional revenue.
At that time, however, there was no link for users to add this feature to their account and there was no mention of it within the pages at the AdSense website.
Today, video units have been officially launched by Google, complete with an example and new informational videos on [...]

Google has quietly unveiled a new feature for users of the embedded YouTube video players that reside all over the web. In fact, the news was so discrete that I discovered it at Problogger, and not at YouTube, which I use almost daily.
AdSense has made an appearance at YouTube, news that is long overdue, especially considering the fact that blogs all around the world use both AdSense and embedded YouTube video players, but never together.
As of yet, there is no [...]

Lately Google has been making a lot of moves to increase its footprint on the mobile web, with the recent acquisition of GrandCentral and launch of AdSense for mobile, but one of their first mobile services has almost been forgotten.
Mobile social software Dodgeball, which was purchased by Google in 2005, basically allowed users to notify other users of their location, thereby allowing them to meet for, say, a drink at the bar. It had a lot of potential as a [...]
