Balihoo Search Engine Expands Beta Program

Balihoo just opened their beta program to include media companies instead of media buyers, advertising agencies and major national advertisers, as reported by our Texas SEO firm. Balihoo search engine hails from Boise, Idaho and claims to be the first and only vertical search engine for advertisers and media buyers.

Balihoo claims that 8 out of 10 of the major media buyers in North America are participating and all organizations represent purchases of about $80 billion a year in advertising. Balihoo says it connects advertisers and agencies to assist in searches for media properties.

Billionaire Seeks Google's Help

Sir Richard Branson, a British billionaire and close friend of aviator Steve Fossett, is seeking help from Google in finding the missing pilot who was last seen taking off from an airport in Nevada several days ago. The search engine is known for its ability to map the earth with 3D images and Branson is hoping the search engine giant can turn its attention to the area Fossett was last known to have been flying over although no flight plan was submitted to aviation officials.

It would be interesting to know the cost the billionaire submitted to Google or the amount of cash Google would need to perform such a terrain search on earth from space.

Texas SEO Hacked

That's right, Texas SEO was hacked. SEO Metro is quiet pleased that the competition knows it stands no chance against those who know SEO versus those that "think" just a bunch of inbound links will suffice versus knowledge in website optimization. It is amazing that SEO sites appear to jump up and down, screaming we "are SEO experts" or "we have figure out the puzzle". If they had the algorithms figured out they would not be sinking like an overladen ship in the Pacific. Maybe they should hire a real SEO firm to come and bail them out before they sink to the floor or past the front page which will drive little traffic in this field.

1. On the positive side we now see what we are up against; just a bunch of unscrupulous individuals or an individual that cannot get their website(s) to the top and must resort to underhanded tactics because of their lack of SEO knowledge.
2. SEO Metro will remain vigilant in watching our sites and our clients sites to ensure no files are uploaded or manipulated.
