google: Looks like ActiveRain got a anniversary present - 11/27/06 10:13 PM
As I mentioned yesterday it was just ActiveRain's six month anniversary. It looks like Google provided a nice little present. A minor update happened sometime in the last couple days and we started to climb up in the ranking for some competitive keyterms terms. Not the major jump I'm expecting sometime in the next … (17 comments)
google: User feedback in Google Search? - 11/16/06 01:33 PM
I was just doing some searches on Google and noticed something I've never seen or heard about before. One of the links in the main search results had two feedback buttons (see screenshot) I probabably do hundreds of google searches a day and have never seen this before. Has anybody else seen … (43 comments)
google: Google Co-op Search Engine - 10/28/06 06:49 PM
About a week ago Google a beta what they are terming the "Co-op" search engine. Just today I found a little bit of time to play around with it and see what it's all about... Basically the idea is that anyone can create their own customized search engine. You get to decide what sites … (8 comments)

Listing aggregators are companies that pull together real estate listings on a national level and present them to consumers. Three that I see prominently mentioned … (3 comments)
google: Why advertise the competition? - 07/02/06 10:04 PM
Increasingly, I'm seeing local real estate sites (including many agents) running contextual advertising via adsense or overture.

I keep hearing three explanations, two of which are fairly easily debunked and one which … (6 comments)
google: Googling your name and strange connections - 07/02/06 08:30 PM
I figured that most people have tried this once or twice, but it you haven't, I'd suggest doing it. Type your full name into a search engine such as Google and see what results come up. One of the interesting aspects in not necessarily to see what dirt may be floating around about … (4 comments)
