Internet Marketing Week At A Glance
Google Achieves Record Market Share Percentage in November 2009
Google increased overall market share to record highs last month at the hands of both Yahoo! and Bing who both saw reduced market share.
Search Engine Strategies Chicago Under Way
For true search marketing enthusiasts the week has finally arrived – Search Engine Strategies Chicago. Considered the leading search engine marketing conference in the world, this is where much of the search marketing guru’s around the world collect to network and learn.
Yahoo Bing Finalize Search Deal
Although the deal for Bing to takeover as Yahoo’s search engine was announced back in July, all the final details were finally put into place and the deal was formally agreed upon this week. Bing will likely be fully integrated as both the organic and paid search provider for Yahoo! by end of 2010. The agreement will allow Microsoft access to more data and will allow Microsoft to become a bigger player in competition with search rival Google.
New Google Analytics Features Live In All Accounts
Google has launched a series of new features in Analytics over the past month. This includes improved reporting, and intelligence features. If you want to learn more about them there is a webinar this Wednesday December 9 at 1pm EST. You can register here. If you didn’t here Google also launched a new code base for Google Analytics. It is called a asynchronous tracking code. You do not need to have this installed as of right now if you have the standard code already but it will aid in helping your page load faster and is considered an upgrade over current code. Our advice? Give this a few more weeks to get the kinks ironed out before integrating.
Google Taking Over The Internet Goes To Next Level
Ok – so this may be a little techie but definitely worth mentioning because it can have profound effects on how the internet works in the coming years. Google announced Google Public DNS last week. Google has tabled this as there way of making the web faster. And it very well could but if successful it will take the information Google retains to a whole new level. Here is some reaction to the Google Public DNS announcement.
Lots of information to process from a busy week in internet marketing. We hope you found this summary of points helpful in your own online education!

Marketing is essential whatever business you’re in, online or offline. It is one of the key ingredients of a successful business.

Yes, indeed a very educative summary.
Google’s refinements leave the notion that ‘speed’ will be the lone factor in determining site’s ranking in the coming days. Google’s open DNS idea may offer faster and more stabler searching experience, but Google can have access to more of our data. Again privacy concerns, that big ‘G’ is always dismissive.
I am also looking for educative posts by analytics gurus having light on asynchronous tracking code.
