Pixelbay.Org Breaks All the Rules With Microscopic Ads
Pixelbay.Org Breaks All the Rules With Microscopic Ads
Clearwater, FL, (PRWEB) September 28, 2005 -- PixelBay.org, a non-traditional advertising site, which creates internet traffic through the use of the worlds smallest ads, generated a startling amount of consumer interest as throngs of online visitors surged to its site in just the first 24 hours of its operation. Thousands of visitors streamed to www.pixelbay.org after learning about the quirky little ads displayed on the homepage. The site was officially launched on Tuesday, September 27.
Advertiser reaction was just as strong upon learning about how Pixelbay.org intended to draw consumer interest. Within hours of first hearing of Pixelbays unique strategy, dozens of companies were scrambling to confirm ad placement on the site. Pixelbay is banking on its relationships with blogs across the world to get its message out about the worlds smallest ad. The story line is simpleworlds smallest ad versus traditional media giants, a true David and Goliath story.
In Touch Media Group, Inc (ITOUOTCBB), a leading supplier of online marketing services, developed the web site in response to the shift in the internet viewing habits of the public at large. Bob Cefail, Chairman of ITMG, feels that advertising has to change with the times. I believe we should follow the lead of many bloggers who are attracting viewers through creative and contrarian web site content, states Cefail. Advertisers must develop unique ways to compel visitors to come to their sites. This is why I created the worlds smallest ad and am working with the alternative media, such as the blogosphere, to push the word out. Cefail feels that consumer generated media, led by bloggers, are at the forefront of many internet trends.
The micro-ad design seemingly runs afoul of all accepted laws of advertising. Instead of overpowering consumers with imagery and message the little pixel ads, measuring less than a quarter inch by a quarter inch, attract attention because of their tiny stature. Advertising in general has gotten far too serious, warns Cefail. Advertisers should just lighten up and have some fun with a pixel ad. We even developed a cool mascot we call Mr. Pix, who you can find on the PixelBay homepage. This playful attitude regarding advertising is what Cefail feels is the difference between In Touch Media Group and its more traditional industry counterparts.
Businesses can advertise on the PixelBay homepage by buying at least one 10x10 pixel block for US $100, which they can use to display an ad or logo, together with a link to their own site. Pixel ads on the site have included a web site promoting an online fantasy game that is a cross between the stock market and a poker game, currency trading software providers, home owner services sites, blogs, and various small businesses.
Pixelbay is just the beginning of In Touch Medias diminutive ad efforts, pun intended. The company intends to develop other micro-ad sites based on input from individuals involved in the massive multiplayer gaming field. ITOU will be focusing on the needs of internet users ages 18-29 who spend a significant amount of time online. We have a lot to learn from this generation that lives, breaths and eats technology and all things internet, concludes Cefail.

64% of Clients Fail To Implement Their SEO Firm's Recommendations Finds iProspect & JupiterResearch Study
64% of Clients Fail To Implement Their SEO Firm's Recommendations Finds iProspect & JupiterResearch Study
Watertown, MA (PRWEB) September 27, 2005 -- According to a new study published today by iProspect (http://www.iprospect.com), the Original® Search Engine Marketing Firm, 64% of organizations that outsource their natural search engine optimization to an SEO firm encounter obstacles within their organization that prohibit them from implementing their vendor's recommended changes to their websites. Lack of human resources and lack of budget are amongst the most frequent obstacles encountered.
The iProspect Natural SEO Outsourcing Study (http://www.iprospect.com/ecampaign/pr3_0905/searchenginemarketingwhitepapers.htm) also revealed that 48% of organizations that outsource their natural search engine optimization to an SEO firm believe they underestimate the resources required for implementation.
High-level findings include:
* 2 out of 3 marketers who outsource their search engine optimization encounter obstacles that prevent them from implementing their vendor's SEO recommendations.
* 1 out of 3 marketers lack adequate internal human resources to implement their vendor's SEO recommendations, while 1 out of 6 lacks an adequate outsourcing budget to do so.
* 1 out of 2 marketers underestimate the resources required to implement their vendor's SEO recommendations.
"These responses tell a troubling story," said iProspect President, Robert Murray. "Companies who are unable to implement their vendor's recommendations or who cannot muster the organizational commitment to act on their SEO firm's recommendations are, in effect, committing to fail." Murray continued, "The site changes an SEO firm recommends are not tremendously difficult to implement, and the resulting visibility, traffic and conversions are often significant. The message is clear: Marketers must build solid organizational commitment not just in the marketing group, but in the IT group, to the search engine marketing campaign before engaging an SEO firm. This ensures that they have the implementation resources to execute on their SEO firm's recommendations so they can generate the results their organizations seek."
According to Dr. Naga Krothapalli, iProspect's Director of Algorithmic Search, "There are myriad reasons why this could be happening, from road blocks in the IT department to changes in priorities within the organization," but he notes, "ultimately, it comes down to one of three factors: budget, human resources, or organizational commitment. In most large organizations, IT projects, including site improvements, are ongoing. It's just a matter of which ones are given priority."
Krothapalli elaborated, "Companies engage SEO firms for their expert guidance and recommendations to remedy rankings shortfalls. However, internal obstacles regularly delay or derail site changes related to search engine optimization, handcuffing what would otherwise be a successful SEO campaign. It's akin to going to the doctor when you're sick and then failing to fill the prescription. If a website cannot be found in search engines, it is not going to get better on its own. If the site doesn't change, the rankings won't either."
About the Survey and Methodology
JupiterResearch surveyed search engine marketers and agencies. Respondents were targeted by familiarity with their company's search engine marketing efforts and screened for involvement with marketing their company's products or those of clients. A total of 636 qualified search engine marketers and 224 qualified search engine marketing agencies completed the survey. Respondents received an email invitation to participate in the survey, with an attached URL linked to the Web-based survey form. As an incentive, respondents were entered into a sweepstakes for the chance to win a $50 Amazon.com gift certificate.
In this survey effort, JupiterResearch worked with its sister company JupiterWeb on the technical tasks of sample building and survey fielding. JupiterWeb properties include more than 150 Web sites and over 150 email newsletters that are viewed by 20 million unique users and generate over 275 million page views monthly, thus enabling JupiterResearch to survey hard-to-reach audiences.

[ Comments on this press release: Perhaps the recommendations were not realistic, bad advice, or beyond the budget of the client. In my experience, effective search engine optimization has to be neither complex nor expensive to produce good results. I would REALLY like to see the details behind what this survey seems to indicate, including did the companies implement part of the recommendations and see an increase in their search engine traffic or not? The whitepaper makes it sound like companies either implemented all or none of the recommendations. Was there no middle ground? Did that include cases where the company just rejected the proposal of the SEO company and went with someone else?
If you read the whitepaper, my take on the results is that the search engine optimization provider failed to properly educate the client or understand the client's needs and available resources. This is not really about a problem with the client but the company or companies providing the services, in my opinion. Nice spin, wrong direction... -(hris ]

FirstGov.gov to Partner with Vivisimo, MSN on Search
FirstGov.gov to Partner with Vivisimo, MSN on Search
U.S. Government's Official Web Portal to add State, Local, Tribal and Territorial Search along with News and Images
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Citizens will have easier and expanded access to federal information and services thanks to the powerful new Web search capabilities that will be added to the U.S. Government's official Web portal -- FirstGov.gov, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced Thursday.
Citizens across the nation, as well as government employees, will benefit from FirstGov.gov's improved Web searching capability. Combining the power of a leading Web search with an award-winning clustering technology, FirstGov.gov will function as the single, swift and efficient source for Americans to locate, identify and utilize information and government services at all levels from local to federal. This Web search capability is available through a contract with Vivisimo of Pittsburgh, Pa., in partnership with Microsoft of Redmond, Wash.
FirstGov will leverage Vivisimo's award-winning Clusty.com search service, incorporating results and features from Microsoft's MSN Search. For example, a search on "nursing jobs" will return results from government Web sites and job listings from USAJOBS, the federal government's official job database. Clusty makes it possible to search government databases simultaneously with MSN Search. FirstGov.gov's approach to government-wide search will provide citizens with unprecedented access to government information from a single source.
This new search strategy provides significantly more services for less than the cost of previous FirstGov search services. The value of the contract is $1.8 million annually, which is nearly half the cost of the current search service on FirstGov.gov. The contract is part of a new Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) FirstGov has set up to acquire future Web search services. The BPA has a total value of $18 million over the length of the agreement.
"The enhancements we're unveiling today improve Firstgov.gov's ability to guide citizens through the sometimes-confusing Federal bureaucracy, and translate to simple yet advanced searches of government information and images," said M.J. Pizzella, Associate Administrator of GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Communications. "When President Bush came to Washington, he issued clear instructions for all agencies to use technology to improve citizen access to federal information and services. The improved search engine -- as well as the unique content developed and added to Firstgov.gov after Hurricane Katrina -- move us a step closer to his vision of results-oriented, performance-based government that harnesses technology on behalf of the American public."
Teri Takai, Chief Information Officer (CIO) for the State of Michigan, added, "We recognize FirstGov.gov as the official Web portal and front door to the U.S. government. Here in Michigan, we have worked hard to make it easier for our citizens to access government services and information, and this latest enhancement to FirstGov.gov will go a long way to aid citizens in their search for federal and state government information."
From a local government perspective, David Molchany, CIO of Fairfax County, Va., said, "The ability of Firstgov.gov to search from the U.S. Federal Government through State to Local Governments will be invaluable. This is an excellent example of joined up Government and one that will benefit the customers of government."
FirstGov.gov, the award-winning federal portal, provides government information and services to citizens, businesses and other governments. FirstGov.gov is an integral part of creating a citizen-centric government, keeping in line with one of the five priorities in President Bush's Management Agenda. In addition, FirstGov.gov is part of USA Services, one of the Presidential E-Gov initiatives created in 2003. USA Services delivers information and services to citizens through multiple channels. This includes the Internet, email, telephone, and publication distribution. Last year, USA Services reported 242 million public contacts, of which 5.4 million were through 1-800 FED INFO (for telephone and email), 5.1 million publications were distributed through the Federal Citizen Information Center (FCIC) in Pueblo, Colo., and 202 million were FirstGov.gov.
FirstGov.gov Search will also significantly expand the scope of its government service capability. Currently, FirstGov.gov Search includes an index of approximately 8 million Federal government web pages. Vivisimo, in partnership with MSN, will provide an index that's more than three times larger than the current service, and includes Federal, state, local, tribal and territorial government web sites.
In addition, FirstGov.gov will launch government-wide News and Image search services so citizens will not have to go to individual agencies to find these resources. For example, Federal and state agencies both have image libraries covering Hurricane Katrina. To find Katrina images, citizens have to go to each agency to find ones they want to see. The new image search capability will allow citizens to search across all agency image libraries, so the citizen will have to go only to FirstGov.gov to find all Katrina images from official government agencies.
The new search service includes packages geared toward specific audiences (i.e., kids and Spanish speakers). These two audiences are very important, but existing services for these groups are not enough to meet their needs. FirstGov for Kids on Kids.gov will be enhanced by a more robust "kids only" search engine that will help children, parents and teachers locate kids' appropriate content on government web sites. FirstGov en Espanol on Espanol.gov will offer the same search capabilities as FirstGov.gov, but specifically targeted to Spanish-speaking citizens.
Concurrently with the award of this contract, GSA has signed a BPA with Fast Search & Transfer of Needham, Massachusetts, Gigablast, Inc. of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Vivisimo of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The BPA enables GSA to easily acquire new search services that are important to citizens, and enhance citizen access to government information. Both the BPA and the first task order are being awarded for one base year and four option years.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing government-wide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

Directories are great
Yes, search engines are great too, but so are directories. Both should be submitted to and each has different advantages. Here are some as I see them:
Most links in search engines are not seen unless someone brings them up with a query. This means that if one search engine spiders another, many of the sites will not be seen. This can be overcome if the search engine operator "hard codes" some links that will bring up search engine results pages that can then be found.
Directories generally have a list of links to categories that lead at some point to listings. These are easy to spider and is the reason why a small directory may be preferred over a small search engine. If the directory provides a "direct link" then that is preferred over one that may use code to "redirect" to the site. Some avoid directories that do not link directly, since they do not get the benefit of link popularity. I think this is short-sighted since if the directory is or becomes popular, they sites listed should get some good traffic at some point in the future. By listing your site in small directories, you provide them with content, which will attract more visitors, and in return they should send you more traffic as time goes on and the site grows.
I don't like directories that require links back and this is why. They will not get as many listings and will not grow as quickly as those that do not require links or payments. They are limiting their own growth and do not seem to recognize the value of having as much content as possible for their visitors. The exchange of traffic and listings should be considered a "fair exchange" where both benefit from the other. Directory owners may say they need to get links or they need to charge a fee, but I own www.Consultant-Directory.com and the site does quite well from regular ads and some paid text ads that run on the site without having to resort to return links or listing fees.

National Arbitration Forum Issues Decision on Jaclyn Smith Web Address
| National Arbitration Forum Issues Decision on Jaclyn Smith Web Address MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 22, 2005--
The National Arbitration Forum announced today that a ruling has been issued in favor of actress Jaclyn Smith, best known as a member of the original Charlie's Angels television show, and Jaclyn Smith International, Inc., a designer of clothing and domestic products, regarding rights to the Internet domain name jaclynsmithhome.com. Jaclyn Smith and Jaclyn Smith International, Inc., represented by Stephen J. Strauss of Fulwider Patton Lee & Utecht, LLP, filed a complaint with the National Arbitration Forum on July 22, 2005 against Unasi, Inc. of Panama, asserting legal rights to the Web address jaclynsmithhome.com. The disputed domain name resolves to a website featuring links to third-party commercial websites that directly compete with Jaclyn Smith and Jaclyn Smith International, Inc.'s business. Having received no response to the complaint from Unasi, a National Arbitration Forum arbitrator ruled in favor of Jaclyn Smith and Jaclyn Smith International, Inc. The Jaclyn Smith trademark has registrations with United States Patent and Trademark Office dating back to 1986. Unasi registered the domain name jaclynsmithhome.com on January 11, 2005. The arbitrator found that Unasi did not have legitimate rights to, or interest in, the disputed Web address, and that the Web address was confusingly similar to Jaclyn Smith's trademark. The arbitrator also found that Unasi was using the address in bad faith by presumably profiting from "click-through" fees for diverting Internet users to third-party commercial websites. Jaclyn Smith and Jaclyn Smith International, Inc.'s Internet domain dispute is one of thousands heard each year by the National Arbitration Forum. The domain name dispute process is a popular alternative to lengthy and expensive trademark lawsuits. A copy of the decision, Jaclyn Smith and Jaclyn Smith International, Inc. v. Unasi, Inc., is available for viewing on the National Arbitration Forum Web site at: http://www.arb-forum.com/domains/decisions/522853.htm.

Search engines biased toward their own advertisers...?
Since first posting ( 9/14/2005 - Are major search engines going to favor
web sites that carry their ads and hurt those that don't?) about the idea
that some search engines may be favoring sites that carry their own ads,
which was an idea brought to my attention by a site that offers a cloaking
product to hide ad code from search engines, I have been contacted by one
person that has confirmed that it seems like this may be true. They are
going to provide some additional testing and let me know if they can offer
additional evidence.
I'm not going to mention what site this is so that the results of their test
cannot be affected by someone reading about the testing.
If you have seen something like this, either before or after hearing about
it, please let me know so we can increase awareness on this issue.
Thanks,

Blog Spamming or Blog Stuffing?
I'd like to report a blog spammer.... myself! Well, that may not be exactly
the right term, perhaps I should be called a "blog stuffer". I've started
doing this as an experiment to see if I can generate tangible results by the
addition of regular and targeted content. Blogs seem to have a special
charm, but I think it's just that they have a lot of content and that
content is updated on a regular basis.
But I don't think what I'm doing is wrong really, I mean, isn't that what
most people with little writing ability or just nothing to say do? Post
links to sites with content they think is interesting, or post press
releases or articles that someone else wrote? It's filler. it's content.
Distributed content, I guess.
Anyway, after having a blog for over a year and not keeping it up as much as
I should, I've decided to start pumping content in to several blogs that I
have now and see how they work to attract new visitors and start getting a
little more traffic than I have had in the past. Sure, I could just work on
my site directly, but what's the challenge in that? One you have top
listings for all your keywords, the only place left to go is down, right?
:-)
Since I have seen that the more content I have on a site, the better the
traffic level, I'm not really focused on much else for my own sites other
than content collection, processing, and building. The best performing site
I have, www.bizprolink-internet.com has about 7 million expired domain
names, all listed in HTML pages and not a database. This site is currently
eating up about 1GB a day in bandwidth. It would be a great money-maker but
the site is VERY unfocused and there is a high percentage of non-US traffic.
Still, to my it proves what I've long felt, and that is that content is the
most important, long-lasting thing you can have on your site.
