If you have not seen this already – you need to take a look. Google has recently streamlined the approach to ‘remarketing’ within the AdWords platform.

Remarketing enables advertisers to refine their message to users who have previously visited their site via existing campaigns. You can build ‘lists’ based upon activities taken (or not taken for that matter) and then act intelligently upon that knowledge through additional campaigns. For example, if you sell printers and have a campaign promoting a specific model, you can create a list comprised entirely of those who have executed a purchase through that campaign. The next time someone included within that list is exposed to one of your ads via the Google Display Network, that ad can be designed to promote the ink cartridges for the printer that they recently purchased. Conversely, you can create a list of those who DID NOT complete a purchase — and design ads to encourage them back to the site to make the sale. This might include incenvites that were not available at the time they were originally exposed to the ad. In terms of targeting, these ads can be limited only to those within that list.

Within the last several weeks, Google announced the release of ‘Auction Insights’ through its industry leading AdWords advertising platform.  This latest innovation from Google enables us to see who we are competing against on a per auction basis at the keyword level.  The additional transparency into the ad auction enables us to gain insight

This type of information has been sought after since the introduction of internet marketing.  Some savvy marketers have been able to gather some level of insight though a tedious manual process of data gathering and analysis or through third-party software tools.  In either case, the results were never very accurate, and the accompanying statistics were minimal.

core and more technologies chrome OS As most of us already know, the Google Panda update brought with it significant changes to the way that the Google ranking algorithm evaluates website relevance.  We have referred to this update with our clients as Google “CUTIE”, that is “Cleaning Up The Internet for Everyone”.  While Google is understandably very close to the vest about the details of any such updates, they do emphasize one theme consistently; add value to the internet, and your site will do well.  Check out Google’s “Quality guidelines – basic principles” for more information. 
So what is Google Penguin?

Penguin, released on the 24th of April, is an update to the Google algorithm released with the intention of penalizing sites for over-optimization.  This is otherwise known as webspamming. (The “web” is inserted here to differentiate from “email” spamming).

The Northern Monmouth Chamber of Commerce Google PlusIn collaboration with the Northern Monmouth Chamber of Commerce, Core and More Technologies will be presenting an internet marketing seminar focused on Google and Google+ at the Middletown, NJ Public Library beginning at 6 PM sharp.

So you have heard all about it, but are not quite sure exactly how it works or how to best leverage it to reach more prospects and interact with your current contacts and customers.

On top of that, many have “social media fatigue” and may not be too keen on expanding even further into this realm. However with the rate that Google Plus is growing, and with the introduction of ‘Search Plus Your World’, it is not hard to imagine that a strong presence on Google Plus will become essential to your internet marketing strategy and, just as importantly, to the internet marketing strategy of your customers

Our presentation at the 2012 New Jersey Burglar and Fire Alarm Association was a blast. Personally, I got to see some old friends whom I had not seen in some time. Throughout the course of both presentations, the interactive audience really drove the overall quality to another level. This was a lively bunch to say the least!

The feedback that followed on the trade-show floor was excellent. It was a very festive atmosphere. Everyone agreed on the power of Google — and the reach and relevance that can be gained via a strong presence through that one primary search engine.

I have an expensive HTC Thunderbolt Smartphone from Verizon. The phone is great outside of the fact that it comes with a battery that dies within 3 hours when not connected to a power source, but that is another subject. I visited by local Verizon store once I noticed that, after about 5 months, I had only once had access to a 4G network — and that was in Philadelphia. They advised that north of a City here in New Jersey called Perth Amboy, everything is 4G and that it is coming this way “soon”.

So there I am at Newark Airport (yes, north of Perth Amboy) and I still only have a 3G connection. My Verizon representative would likely have told me to “reboot”.
