The type of person who reads this blog and other blogs about search marketing knows far more than the average webmaster (or web user) about search. You can use that knowledge as a marketing advantage over the competition, by doing things like creating a custom topical search engine, or write about harnassing the power of Google to _____.

Ask.com Looks Pretty, But It Advertises To The Wrong MarketWriting by Nick Stamoulis on Tuesday, 14 of August , 2007 at 8:20 am

I’ll talk more about what search engines do well and what they need improvement on overall later on. Right now I’d like to focus on Ask.

Ask has done a good job of simplifying itself. They seem to know what search is all about while everyone else is just guessing. I’m glad Ask.com dropped Jeeves. He was old, worn out, and never really provided good feedback anyway. The newfound “let’s follow Google to a simpler search page look” has also seemed to work for Ask. And I like what they’ve done with their SERPs. They’re attractive, aesthetic, organized well, provide useful features, and look nice. What I can’t speak to just yet, because I don’t use Ask enough to be able to give an honest appraisal (I still use Google a lot), is whether their claims to return the best results is true or not. Some people I respect say they do, but if that is true then why does Ask still hover around the 1% market share range?

This is a free flowing post based on interesting links of interest I recently came across. It compares online markets to offline markets.

Those who preach free market virtues rarely follow through on them:
The misfortune, of course, is ours since the Fed also sold gold. We have to guess at that of course because transparency in capital markets, preached from on high, is merely pretence. …

The answer to market direction lies with the Fed, which today reports on their decision and statement as to policy. The policy statement is, for the most part, useless as a guide to the market, and something I call a sham. Regretably, the Fed is not required to release their strategy and tactical plan, which is released to the banks via buy and sell orders from the FOMC trading desk.

Patrick Sexton (aka feedthebot) over at SEOish contacted a few big names in the search marketing industry and asked:

What would you do if you only had 100 dollars to market your website?

This excellent post includes responses from Aaron Wall, Andy Beal, Andy Hagans, Kid Disco, Lee Odden, Todd Malicoat, Neil Patel, and Patrick himself.  This is a great read for someone who is just getting started with online marketing and is on a very small budget, such as a college student or a single parent.
