Sometimes you want to search the past. That’s what Google and Yahoo and the other search engines are for.
Sometimes you want to search the future. Jonathan Dube tells us about PubSub, a new site that doesn’t search what’s been posted already, but monitors topics you specify for posts yet to come.
Goodiesblog.com was founded to highlight promotional and household items of significance which manufactures choose to share with us. We find significance in items which are: innovative, unique, timely or an improvement on a classic theme.

Search, the next generation !

If you operate a classic Yellow Pages-oriented business, build a Web site, even if it’s just a single page, and experiment with local search advertising. It’s still very affordable, and you may find more prospects than you expect replaced their use of the Yellow Pages with that of search engines.

If you’ve been working with keyword optimization for a while, you know there are times when some great keywords drive tons of traffic to your site, but the resulting conversion rate is terrible.

Barry Diller’s electronic commerce company IAC/InterActiveCorp is buying online search engine Ask Jeeves Inc. for $1.9 billion and taking aim at the Internet’s advertising market leaders.
The deal announced Monday represents Diller’s bet that he can transform a second-tier search engine into a more formidable threat to industry leaders Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc., much like he built the once-irrelevant Fox television network into a major media player in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

In late 2000 Google introduced two innovative services that revolutionized the web. The first, Google AdWords, was a breakthrough advertising paradigm that enabled thousands of online marketers to attract more traffic to their websites. The other, the Google Toolbar, helped millions of users search the web more efficiently. But last month the company added a new feature to the latter, called AutoLink, which threatens to negate some of the benefits of the former by siphoning traffic away from sites without their permission … unless advertisers do something to stop them.
