Well, after a delay of reporting search engine rank pages (SERP), we have been on the second page of MSN Live for Texas Search Engine Optimization for two weeks. SEO Metro started at 3rd but second company in line for Texas SEO on MSN but now rank 3rd company that is positioned in number 5 with MSN. Google, no rank on 50 pages; Yahoo no rank on 50 pages.

SEO Metro will prevail slowly........our goal. Slow, steady and relentless.

Online Ad Sales Record for 2006

According to the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), the internet saw a dramatic increase in Branded Display Ads and Search Placement of 35% to a whopping tune of $16.9 Billion as reported on Texas SEO. It appears online advertising will be at a pace for several years to come. This is good news for the online industry as other media such as newspapers continue to decline at an alarming rate. The Dallas Morning News has been suffering subscriptions deficits for a record number of years that probably totals a decade.

Google Buying More Ad Power?

Rumor is online about Google buying Feedpower for $100 million. Google seems to be at no stopping for slurping up the competition. They have the money to burn and buy up all the existing ad comanies and they seem to be at a pace to set records if records have not already been set. Google appears to be interested in the company because of the advertsing embedded within FeedPowers RSS Feeds.

Google on Microsoft- Yahoo Merge

Google must have its ears to the wall on the Microsoft Yahoo meetings where speculation is running. Google must surely have some concern over the ramblings and are probably meeting themselves to see where the search engine wars take their next battles.

If MSN and Yahoo do merge in their search marketing advertisement but remain separate as far as independent search engines strategies will be tweaked to keep bringing in traffic to both entities. So far everyone is tight-lipped but the news should come about soon. If no news happens then we will no it is a "no go" situation.

Microsoft Obtaining Yahoo!?

The New York Post reported earlier today that Microsoft is in negotiations with Yahoo! Microsoft is remaining hush about the meeting but a similar meeting happened last year with no results. Yahoo! shares rose 15% and yesterday their online marketing was worth a whopping $38 billion. Some analyst speculate that Microsoft may bid $50 billion for the search engine company but MS has indicated that some services are duplicated and would do them little good to purchase the whole company. Some analysts believe that Microsoft is attempting to gain Yahoo!'s online search advertising market.

Microsoft and Yahoo's share of the search advertising market would add up to 27 percent against Google's 65 percent but would bridge the gap in online ads with Google to just 13 percent.

YouTube and User Monetization

YouTube announced that it is starting a program for "popular users" to gain monetarily by having advertisements placed near their posted content. It appears that users will be able to have some control over the placing of advertisements but the news so far is vague. The users having this feature have been "invited" by YouTube but it appears that this may be a feature for other users in the future.
