Mobile Advertising & Google in 2008-2009

Google is definitely looking forward to expand its course of action with mobile advertising after having Android in hand. Here Mashable talks about it like:

While there has been much talk that online advertising will decline in the current/coming recession, the CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, seems pretty bullish on what will happen with mobile advertising this year.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the Google executive went against the predictions that mobile ads wouldn’t hit $1 billion in revenue until 2012. Reuters reported Schmidt as saying, “It’s the recreation of the Internet, it’s the recreation of the PC story, and it is before us — and it is very likely it will happen in the next year.”

He went on to say that he felt mobile advertising was nearing its tipping point because of features such as location-based advertising. By his theory, it will be situations such as people looking for a nearby restaurant because that will be “a very, very good business.”

Can such searches truly carry an entire industry past the magical $1 billion dollar mark? I’m doubtful, personally. Mobile advertising is going to be a very different beast from online advertising due to the very nature of the screen. On a full-sized computer monitor, I can train my eye to look around and through the ads to the point I hardly even register they exist any more. The problem on a mobile phone is its limited size. Everyone seems to think this supposed new ad boom is going to be some sort of wonderful new revenue stream. All I see it doing is annoying me thoroughly.

Is Google Chrome Lively?

Google Chrome is not lively says TechCrunch:

Here’s what they said:
First up is Google Analytics, which doesn’t track Chrome usage separately from Firefox (why Firefox?) for now, even though other services made the change immediately. Since Chrome is a two-year project and shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone at Google, the cynic in me thinks they will wait until they have a few points of market share:

Q. Will I see Google Chrome listed as a browser in my Google Analytics reports?
A. Because Google Chrome was not launched externally until today, we haven’t yet changed Google Analytics to recognize it when you segment by browser within reports. However - this will change in the coming weeks (until then, the browser will show as Firefox). We’ll let you know when the change happens.

Google AdSense Stops Displaying on Google Cache Results?

A WebmasterWorld thread reports that many publishers have started to notice that their Google AdSense ads are not showing up when someone accesses their pages via the Google cache.

For example, a recent Google cache copy of my personal blog does not show the AdSense ad at the top right of my blog. It simply does not render on the page. Typically, it would show to the right of the linkedin logo.

Some theories are that it is related to the Allowed Sites AdSense feature, but I don’t use that for my personal blog. Others just think it is a temporary Google bug. Time will tell.

Verizon Wireless & Mobile Search On Google

Verizon Wireless and Google, two industry Goliaths that have seen each other as potential rivals, are discussing a partnership that would give Google’s search service a prominent spot on the screens of Verizon phones, according to people briefed on the talks.

The discussions are being spurred by the growing popularity of sophisticated devices like the iPhone that have simplified Web searching on mobile phones. New phones like those based on Google’s Android software, and models coming from Research in Motion and others, are likely to accelerate the trend.

Any partnership deal between the two is more than a month away, perhaps two, as the talks are in an early phase, said people apprised of those discussions. The companies are negotiating over how much information Google can retain about Verizon’s customers and their searches, according to these people. The two companies would share revenue from advertising that is tied to searches.

Mp3 Shoes


Check out the concept shoe as shown above. It features an integrated CD-ROM, some speakers, tweeters, and a volume control knob to boot (no pun intended). Of course, it might be a little behind the times as most portable MP3 players these days use either a hard drive or flash memory and not CD-ROMs.
