Both U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission Approves MSFT-Yahoo Deal.

Microsoft (Nasdaq ‘MSFT’) and Yahoo! (Nasdaq ‘YHOO’) announced today that they have received clearance for their search agreement, without restrictions, from both the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission, and will now turn their attention to beginning the process of implementing the deal.

The companies will begin the transition of algorithmic search and have set a goal of completing that effort in at least the United States by the end of 2010. The companies also hope to make significant progress transitioning U.S. advertisers and publishers prior to the 2010 holiday season, but may wait until 2011 if they determine that the transition will be more effective after the holiday season. All global customers and partners are expected to be transitioned by early 2012.

It’s time to starting up your Live.com SEO campaign to keep your revenue intact.

Google’s Annual Revenue From Typosquatting At $497m.

Most people regard typos (Typo squatting) as nuisances, just inconsequential mistakes that cause them to lose a second of time hitting the backspace key.  But for Google, typos may equal big business, as Benjamin Edelman and Tyler Moore have estimated that they make the search engine giant $497 million per year.

Edelman and Moore, coauthored a paper titled “Measuring Typosquatting Perpetrators and Funders.”  In a blog post summarizing it, they presented several sets of statistics and wrote, “According to our analysis, 57% of typo sites include Google pay-per-click ads.”

Then they made a rather more interesting comment regarding the effect of Google’s connection: “Combining our observations with financial reports and others’ estimates, we conclude that Google’s revenue from typo-squatting on the top 100,000 sites is $497 million per year.”

Also, Google’s pretty much the only search engine they point a finger at, since not nearly as many ads from Yahoo and Microsoft appear on typosquatting sites.

Google Launches Social Search Experiment.

The Social Search Experiment feature that Marissa Mayer announced last week is becoming available today for everyone to try.  Google Social Search promises to help users “find more relevant public content from your broader social circle.”

The premise is simple: people value their acquaintances’ content more than that of random strangers.  So Google Social Search brings content from your social circle to the forefront, perhaps showing a friend’s or coworker’s take on a restaurant rather than (or in addition to) whatever the local newspaper reviewer had to say.

On the Official Google Blog, Maureen Heymans and Murali Viswanathan explained, “The way we do it is by building a social circle of your friends and contacts using the connections linked from your public Google profile, such as the people you’re following on Twitter or FriendFeed. . . .  If you use Gmail, we’ll also include your chat buddies and contacts in your friends, family, and coworkers groups.  And if you use Google Reader, we’ll include some websites from your subscriptions as part of your social search results.

Appearing in social search results means:

1. Make sure you have all of your important links on your Google Profile.
2. Make as many connections as possible.
3. Encourage customers to follow you via social networks.
4. Participate in social media so people will engage with you.
5. Encourage sharing of content (there are plenty available social media buttons)
6. Include social network info on business cards/signage, etc.
7. Include social network info in your online advertising
8. There are probably many more worthwhile tips (if you have any, share them in the comments).

Since GMT 4, i could not access my gmail account although i can check mail via POP service.  Some deleted email appeared again and available for download. Trying to make some search then i come to know that not only Gmail.com but also google.com do not work.

Happy New Year to all of You

In previous post about Improve conversion rate mission, i put domain name in the top of top work.

Recent studies show that internet users view keyword domains as an authoritative source of information on that topic. In addition, Google’s algorithm naturally ranks non-brand specific keyword domains higher in organic search listings and improves the relevancy factor for paid search, resulting in a higher average position, helping companies reduce surplus pay-per-click ad-spend. Further improving CTR potential, Google highlights domains with the keyword term within them. A recent study shows that ads featuring a generic domain name with an exact match to the product performed significantly better than identical ads featuring an alternative generic improving conversions from as much as 105% to 15%, depending on the relevancy of search to domain.

And now, the question is which domain name?

Where to buy safe and cheap?

I can not give you the right answer, but right now i have an advise “Don’t Put All Your Eggs In One Basket“.

Added: If you buy expired domains then you may get risk if you put Google Adsense on or pack it to Sedo.

One question i ask myself every day: How to improve conversion rate, for current shop and the new one which comming next work round?

Currently i focus on several objects:

1. Domain name

2. Shop appearance, design work, differentiate the available themes.

3. Fresh Content, unique content, every thing belong to “content of the shop” .

4. Buyer-seller interaction: online support, blogs, forum, comment page…

5. Finding reliable hosting service.

6. Get reviews (PR, Social networks)

7. Put the best deal in front, (calling the attention with news offers, discount, ).

8. Any more?

I will go in detail one by one. But at first i need to know what do you thing? Any other object must be mentioned here? Is there any different between the work for different program?

Today Google Adsense hits a short outage about a half hour from 3:30 to 4:00 GMT.

I can access Gmail at that time but no way to check Google Adsense stat for a while. It seems that September will be the worst month for Google services. Gmail outage at the early of Sept, then Gmail Contact outage last week and now the Google Adsense. Should we reduce the use of Googlepage and Youtube to save the Big?

My friend sent me screenshot that shown Google Adsense did not delay on updating Today Earning

Total tayd earning is $0.87 but at top board, “Today’s earnings shows $0.45. He said he is watching is closely.

I am on plan: (Google Adsense or +Klikvip)+Name.com+WordPress+Sedo+Namecheap.com=Money possible >=$1000 per month.

At first i catch some good and cheap domain from Name.com at price $5.49. Be sure that you get the good one, i mean you should select expired domains hat have some links indexed by Yahoo or Google. That’d may bring some hit = some dollars.

Buy a cheap reseller hosting package from Namecheap.com cost from $19.95 (20 cpanel accounts) or $29.95 (100 cpanel accounts) I recommend basic package to start.

Install wordpress and WordPress-O-matic: collect some good feeds to get contain for you targeted keywords. Open an Google adsense account and get an Klikvip account. Currently Klikvip provides JavaScript feed version which look like Google Adsense that may earn you big dollar per click if you obtain VIP++ feed version.

I knew 2 guys who live in my city earn more than $550 per month after first several months with Google Adsense when they play with Finance and Car related blogs. If you do not know which keyword pay you well then open an Google Adword account and check it out.

Beside wordpress + Goolge adsense+ Klikvip, you may make thousands doorways per domain with Jonn22 software ( $80.00)

You can download keyword base from Klikvip  (over 500,000 keywords in 6 categories). Again Google Adword will help you much .

Some months after the day you make doorway pages, traffic may drop down but dont worry. You till can make some big bucks if you parked it to Sedo. If you are lucky enough you may sell these domains for $50 or more.

Total initial invest:

To make $1000 per month: 100 domains ($10 revenue per month per domain) = $549. One year hosting at Namecheap: $239 per year. Dont forget get Namecheap coupon. Totally less than $880 for the first year. Hmm, do you have?

I have not planned for $10,000 per month yet. Because i hear that one guy when trying to get bad bucks from Adsense ads (hire people click on the ads) he got banned.  Good plan, Good domains, good contains, Good earning.

If you are good on writing article and some knowledge of healthcare then you make put some banner of  your RX-partners.com shop or Rx-promotion shop.

If you dont know how to install W-O-matic and wordpress then i may help you on one domain and make a backup for you to go to next step.

I called this is the automation cash generator. Or what is its name in your mind? tell me
