Google Virtual Advertising

How Google Glasses Could Revolutionize Virtual Advertising.

As a technology, the screen is sort of a kludge. It only works if you’re looking at it. For an advertiser, that’s just not good enough. If you’re out walking around, the screen on your desk or your console isn’t doing anything. The one on your phone is a little better, but not if it’s tucked away in your pocket.

That’s why the new glasses Google plans to begin selling by the end of the year are so promising. A built-in screen allows them to function as a so-called heads-up display, overlaying whatever the viewers is looking at with a digital layer. The glasses will be tricked out with a wireless internet connection, an Android operating system, motion sensors, GPS and a camera. They’ll also be rather ugly, apparently.

The glasses were developed by Google X, the blue-sky lab that focuses on ambitious projects that often seem more rooted in science fiction than in current reality. As such, there’s no business model to speak of, beyond selling them to consumers for a few hundred dollars.

Google being Google, however, you can be sure advertising will eventually enter into the picture, literally. And when it does, it will most assuredly be in the form of augmented reality. Google already incorporates AR in Google Goggles, a smart phone app that “uses image recognition technology to recognize objects and return relevant search results.” Those objects can include ads, which come alive when viewed through Goggles, as you can see in this demo.

So far, Google has only scratched the surface of the advertising potential here. That makes sense: How many times in your life are you actually going to point your phone at an ad?

Google glasses could change all that. Now the user doesn’t have to point his phone at an ad to activate the AR layer — he only has to look at it. Combine that with location data and all the other rich targeting information Google has at its disposal and you’re talking about potentially the most valuable advertising medium ever invented.

Imagine it: You’re walking home from work. You put on your Google Glasses to check your email and notice that the sushi place across the street, where you frequently go for takeout, is highlighted. In the window is a glowing icon that lets you know there’s a discount available. A tiny tilt of your head brings up the offer: 40% off any purchase plus free edamame. With a bit more tilting and nodding, you place your order. By the time you cross the street, it’s ready for you. Would you like to pay via Google Wallet?

Social Media

How to Make Social Media Work For Your Business.

A lot of businesses fail at social media. Even though you might have a presence on Twitter or Facebook, you still may not be considered “social.”

If you don’t engage your customers – and fail to create two-way communication – what’s the point? You’re simply using social media as an advertising channel, not a relationship-builder. Social media is like email marketing. Can you reach a new audience with your email marketing? Likely not. But email marketing nurtures and engages with your existing audience. Sure, an email may get forwarded or shared with someone new, but that person likely isn’t going to engage with you and instantly become a customer.

In the latest A.T. Kearney Social Media Study, looking into the social media practices of Interbrand’s Top 50 Brands for 2011, 27 out of 48 companies did not respond to a single customer reply on Facebook. What reason do any of those customers have to return, or what reason would I, a potential new customer, have to try the service? When you decided you wanted to implement social media marketing into your company, you probably did so as a means to contact as many people as possible, right? Well, even if they are already a customer, people need reasons to remain loyal and keep returning to your company.

The only way to ensure you’re not just jumping on the social media marketing bandwagon, and you’re really do this with your company and customers best interest is to consider these few things first.

Getting started

First, you must determine the value of your customer. To do this, you need to figure out the total lifetime profit of an average customer. How much do they spend? How much of that is profit for you?

Next, determine the value of a prospect. Then, think about how much would you spend on your prospect to convert them to a customer. Let’s say the average customer is worth $800 and costs you $20 through advertising or marketing. Worth it? I think so!

You should also consider the value of capturing existing customers’ information. Doing this allows you to continue to market to them in order and get them to come back.

Choose your platforms carefully

Not all social media platforms are right for every business. Sure, Facebook is great for most — from local businesses to big brands. Twitter is also a great real-time microblogging tool for many different types of companies. But only you can decide what’s worth your time and where your customers are.

Beyond the big networks, which platforms are right for your business? Check out what they have to offer (and who’s doing it right) to determine where to spend your time. Here are a few examples:

  • Foursquare: Location-based social network that helps users discover what’s nearby, check-in at their location, unlock deals and more. Great for businesses like restaurants or local shops. Check out their case studies page to see how its being used by brands and merchants alike.
  • Quora: A Q&A platform that connects you to topics you want to know more about. Ask questions or answer them based on your knowledge. An optimal way to position company leadership as thought leaders in your industry or field. Also a great way to “identify topic conversationalists, firestarters, thinkers, early movers, upvoters, upvoted,” as one user points out, in order to engage them on other networks.
  • Pinterest: A virtual pinboard that lets you organize images found on the web into different boards and share them. Although relatively new, companies like Whole Foods and BuzzFeed have already found interesting and unique ways of using Pinterest to connect with their audience (‘90s nostalgia, anyone?).
  • Tumblr: Blogging platform where you can share photos, videos, text, quotes, and more. Easy to use and highly customizable. Used by organizations like NPR and ModCloth. Sesame Street even has an account!

Entice customers with incentives

Imagine you arrived early to a movie. You’re watching the advertisements, and one comes up that says, “Like us Facebook now to get a free popcorn for your movie!” Would you do it? Likely.

Or perhaps you’re in a restaurant and see a message on the wall that says, “Like us to get a free dessert.” Either way, you’d probably take a few seconds to whip out your smartphone and “like” their Facebook page in order to get the coupon.

Whatever the reason — discounts, coupons, a contest, etc. — get your customers (or potential customers) to engage so you can re-market to them to later.

Most large agencies will tell you that I’m wrong. They will show case studies (and even awards) they received from Facebook themselves for campaigns they’ve done. Well, guess what? They aren’t going after you as a client. The entire case study world in social media today is built around the big clients. Sexy clients that will drive large marketing dollars through an ad agency. Sexy clients that Facebook loves as they drive millions of revenues to their books.

Are you using social media to reach your customers? What platforms and strategy have helped you truly engage your customers?

SharePoint

“Public cloud services like Microsoft Office 365’s SharePoint Online and deployments of SharePoint Server 2010 in a public or hybrid cloud are okay for small to mid-size businesses, but they’re very impractical when it comes to serving the best interests of a large business,” said Atkinson.

“The private SharePoint cloud model is an ideal outsourcing alternative. Sooner or later, global and large enterprises evaluating SharePoint 2010 deployment platforms are going to realize that an enterprise SharePoint Server 2010 platform implemented solely in a private cloud is the only way to go.”

Within the last two years, AIS Network has doubled in size and opened a second office. Last month, the company reported that customer demand for cloud computing had compelled it to double the size of its public cloud.

Business funding: Breedon warns of funding gap

A government-appointed committee says access to finance for businesses needs to be improved or there could be a funding gap up to £190bn in five years.

The report comes ahead of next week’s Budget, when there could be measures taken to boost funding of small firms.

The group led by Legal & General boss Tim Breedon is calling for a single agency to run all the government’s programmes supporting small businesses.

It also wants a body to bundle small business loans and sell them.

“There is compelling evidence that access to finance is expected to become more acute as business confidence and growth returns, whilst continuing bank deleveraging is likely to leave a significant funding shortfall,” said Tim Breedon.

Small businesses

Small businesses in particular have complained about problems raising finance from the major UK banks in recent years.

Eagle Vending Services had been profitable for 10 years but suffered a setback in 2009 when a fire at a unit adjoining their warehouse caused a major disruption to their business.

The Kent-based firm, which supplies vending machines to factories and offices, needed some additional financing to help them recover and fund some new projects. But the banks would not help.

“We approached them on a couple of occasions and each time it’s just been automatically rejected. Speaking to the business manager, he more or less said no straight from the start. They are just not interested,” said Mike Steel, the managing director of Eagle Vending Services.

Mr Steel turned to an online service that matches borrowers to lenders. After going through the application process they received approval and were offered a loan for 3 years at an interest rate of 8.3%.

Commenting on the government’s initiative he said: “There’s definite need in the market for small business to get access to loans. There is business there. A lot of businesses just need some funding to expand or stabilise themselves in the market.”

Business funding gap

Warning of business funding gap.

The Breedon report predicts a funding gap of between £84bn and £191bn over the next five years.

BusinessIndustry should establish a Business Finance Advice network that used the main accountancy bodies, according to the report.

It also recommends setting up a body that would bundle up loans to smaller and medium sized firms. Those loans could then be sold on, potentially attracting new money into the sector.

It also calls on bigger businesses to support smaller ones in ways such as the prompt payment of invoices.

“We need to reshape the UK’s finance landscape to better serve the needs of ordinary businesses, helping more companies find the support they need to start and grow,” said Business Secretary Vince Cable.

Earlier this month, Mr Cable said UK banks were “imperilling” the country’s economic recovery by not lending enough to small and medium-sized businesses.

He had previously suggested that RBS should be split up to create a British business bank.

John Walker, head of the Federation of Small Businesses, said: “We very much welcome this report as the recommendations chime closely with changes the FSB has called for to open up finance for small businesses.”

“Bold action needs to be taken to ensure a behavioural shift so that small firms know what alternatives to bank finance are available.”

Business plea

Business plea: ‘we can help.

Business groups have been shut out of the Baillieu government’s budget process amid growing concerns it lacks a plan to kick-start the Victorian economy.

In a break with past practice, the government has abandoned efforts to engage industry groups in a formal process by requesting submissions before the May state budget.

Business leaders contacted by The Saturday Age have expressed concern about the lack of an economic plan, urging the government to press ahead with fresh efforts to revitalise the economy by boosting infrastructure, lifting skills and overhauling the tax system.

”What concerns me is a wealth of experience and knowledge in industry organisations that could assist in this very tough economic climate in terms of decision making in the budget is not being tapped into,” Property Council Victorian executive director Jennifer Cunich said.

”The lack of infrastructure projects is very concerning and I’m very concerned that we are losing skills out of the state to resources states and overseas.”

Australian Industry Group Victorian director Tim Piper said although the government had not formally asked his group for a submission, it would be making its views known.

It will urge the government to press ahead with tax reform, with an emphasis on the need to work with the Commonwealth to find the revenue needed to abolish inefficient stamp duties and other taxes. Mr Piper said despite the tough budget environment, the government also needed to boost business confidence by releasing a detailed infrastructure plan, with a particular need to tackle traffic congestion and improve transport links.

Bank of Melbourne chair Elizabeth Proust, who headed the premier’s department during the Kennett era, yesterday said discussion in boardrooms about a lack of government action to address Victoria’s economic problems was ”getting louder and louder”.

”People are saying that Victoria may well be losing its edge because of inaction in this state,” Ms Proust told ABC radio. ”I think the time for thinking and reflecting has passed and we should expect that the Victorian Government will start acting in a whole range of projects, including infrastructure projects.”

The comments follow figures suggesting the Victorian economy has stalled or is in reserve, with more than 1000 jobs now disappearing each week as the high dollar, relatively high interest rates, sluggish retail sales and a property slowdown cause pain the economy and the budget.

In a briefing to the incoming Baillieu Government, Treasury suggested Victoria could be on track to have the highest taxes in the nation by the middle of the decade unless the government embarks on a reform agenda.

Victorian Employers’ Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief economist Steven Wojtkiw said the May Budget should map out a detailed plan for infrastructure, including funding and a timeline for delivering it.

Ms Cunich confirmed there had been no requests for submissions and no meetings, breaking with past processes that involved consultation with various industry groups.

Housing Industry Association Victorian executive director Gil King said although there had been no invitation for submissions, his organisation had been involved in talks with the Department of Premier and Cabinet about tackling costs and productivity in the construction sector.

He said he was particularly concerned that the first home buyers’ bonus might be dumped to help the government keep the budget in surplus.

Treasurer Kim Wells ordered the Department of Treasury and Finance to get to work on a so-called infrastructure pipeline in June last year, but has since said little about when, if ever, it will be released. Treasury figures this week revealed Victoria recorded a deficit of $341 million during the final six months of last year, a huge $823 million turnaround from the surplus of $482 million recorded for the same six-month period in 2010.

Business Apps

Business Apps Eye Apple’s iPad Retina Display.

MeLLmo — one of the first software developers to embrace the iPhone and the iPad as business devices — has released new versions of its Roambi applications for the new iPad and its Retina display.

On Friday — the day the new iPad went on sale — MeLLmo unveiled new versions of its Roambi Business Analytics and Roambi Flow applications, two tools that give corporate types instant access to information stored in business tools such as SAP Crystal Reports and Salesforce.com. A business manager can bring up, say, interactive graphs representing a company’s most recent sales forecasts.

Apple’s retina display is a high resolution screen, and developers must retune their applications to use it. Some big name apps — such as the productivity and memory booster Evernote — are already available for new iPad. And even Apple is getting into the iPad-for-business game. Last week, the company released a free tool that lets organizations configure and deploy Apple tablets for their workforce.

Life Technologies — an outfit that sells biotech products — tells Wired that it recently purchased about 900 iPads for its worldwide sales staff, and these are being loaded with Roambi. “Being early to the game here with the iPad — with its interactive applications that are so easy to use — we find that training cycle our sales staff is relatively small,” Life Technologies chief information officer Joe Beery tells Wired.

The Roambi apps have new been updated for the new iPad’s Retina display. “The Retina display and enhanced graphics of iPad give us the tools to deliver business apps with unrivaled speed, clarity, and vivid imagery,” reads a canned statement from MeLLmo CEO Santiago Becerra.

hree Aussie Companies Will Win $8,000 Each in Search Engine Optimisation from PayPal

In an Australian-first initiative, PayPal is partnering with local search engine optimisation (SEO) company, Dejan SEO, to offer Australian businesses the chance to win $8,000 worth of SEO services.

In an Australian-first initiative, PayPal is partnering with local search engine optimisation (SEO) company, Dejan SEO, to offer Australian businesses the chance to win $8,000 worth of SEO services.

There are three $8,000 SEO packages up for grabs, each designed to dramatically boost the ranking of the winner’s website on Google and the other search engines.

The competition is PayPal’s first foray into the field of SEO. It signals the company’s awareness of the importance of a strong search presence. And according to Simon Phillips, General Manager of Dejan SEO, it also signals their understanding of the importance of a sound SEO strategy and intelligent implementation. “They know online success requires a holistic approach. Good SEO is just as important as a good website and a good e-commerce system,” he says.

79% of Australians access the internet at least once a day — it’s their main mass-media channel for researching products, services and retailers. And 80%+ of those people use search engines as their primary research tool. No surprise, then, that 63% of Australian businesses are planning to increase their SEO budget during 2012.*

Head of Search from Dejan SEO’s Melbourne office, Chris Ward, claims that online marketing offers far better ROI than traditional marketing channels. “Dollar for dollar, it’s streets ahead,” he says. “Today’s consumer is technologically competent, brand-aware and likes to research before committing. Their first port of call is the search engines. Only with a solid search presence can you hope to capture that market.”

The $8,000 SEO prizes from PayPal and Dejan SEO will help three businesses keep pace with — or possibly even outrank — their competition.

“This prize could take a fledgling internet presence and transform it into search engine dominance,” says Ward. “A lot of large corporations in Australia rely on Dejan SEO to manage their entire internet marketing strategy.” He says that, “getting that for free would be a major boost to a small to a medium sized business.” He even went so far as to offer a guarantee: “After three months we will show results, 100% guaranteed.”

In summary, Phillips, General Manager of Dejan SEO, said: “We feel honoured that PayPal chose us, of all Australia’s SEO companies, to run this promotion with. Brand trust is integral to PayPal’s success, and their willingness to co-brand with us on this endeavour speaks volumes about Dejan SEO’s own brand and industry reputation.”

Google Seo

Google Is Working On Making SEO Matter Less.

At SXSW there was a internet session called, “Dear Google & Bing: Help Me Rank Better!” As previously reported, Matt Cutts was supposed to be there, but couldn’t make it due to his wife having foot surgery. He was still able to appear remotely, and during the internet session, he just happened to mention that Google is working on some things that will “level the playing field” for people who just have good content, and don’t focus on much on SEO. Bing’s Duane Forrester also participated as Danny Sullivan moderated.

f you build it, they might not come, if you haven’t thought about how search engines view your web site. Forget testing for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Search engines are the common browser that everyone uses. The good internet news is that search engine optimization (SEO) doesn’t mean terrible design or some type of black-magic trickery. Rather, there are good, sensible things that everyone should do that pleases both SEO and human visitors. In this session, representatives from Google and Bing provide this type of advice. They’ll even get you up to speed on the impact that internet social media is playing on search results. Even better, it’s all Q&A. Bring your top questions about how they rank sites and get answers directly from the source.

The official SXSW page has the audio for the entire session. Hat tip to Barry Schwartz for pointing to this specific part of it.

During the Q&A, one webmaster asked how a mom and pop doing its own optimization can stand a chance against all of those who are spending thousands of dollars on SEO.

“The way that I often think about SEO is that it’s like a coach,” said Cutts. “It’s someone who helps you figure out how to present yourself better. In an ideal world though, you wouldn’t have to think about presenting yourself and whether SEO can crawl your website, because they’d just be so good that it could figure out how to crawl through the Flash, how to crawl through the forms, how to crawl through the javascript, how to crawl through whatever it is. And for the most part, most search engines have made a lot of progress on being able to crawl through that richer content.”

Regarding the people that are optimizing “really hard” and doing a lot of SEO, Matt says, “Normally, we don’t sort of pre-announce changes, but there is something we’ve been working on in the last few months, and hopefully in the next couple months or so, or you know, in the coming weeks, we hope to release it.”

“And the idea,” he says, “Is basically to try and level the playing ground a little bit, so all those people who have sort of been doing, for lack of a better word, ‘over-optimization’ or overly doing their SEO, compared to the people who are just making great content and trying to make a fantastic site, we want to sort of make that playing field a little more level. So that’s the sort of thing where we try to make the website…the Googlebot smarter, we try to make our relevance more adaptive, so the people who don’t do SEO, we handle that, and then we also start to look at the people who sort of abuse it, whether they throw too many keywords on the page or whether they exchange way too many links, or whatever they’re doing to sort of go beyond what a normal person would expect in a particular area. So that is something where we continue to pay attention, and continue to work on it…we have several engineers on my team working on that right now.”

Duane Forrester joked that Bing has some hamsters working on this in the back room, spinning some wheels. He suggested having a great product and being engaged socially. These are strong signals for Bing, he said.

HostFly.in Scammers

HostFly.in Scammers site, you had to know this would eventually catch up to you and to make matters worse, you had PLENTY of time to resolve this one. In January of 2011, a HostFly.in Scammers member pointed out that your website is nothing more then a ripped template stolen from Host-A-Tree [Thread]. The thread simply ended with a message saying that you were working to resolve the issue. The story should have ended there.

Yesterday, I stumbled upon a post where you (HostFly.in Scammers) were making a very insane offer (and trust me, if anyone buys it…). I looked at the website and to my shock, you are STILL using the stolen website template, only with the background changed. Granted you did make a few small changes but not enough… you even kept one of the reviews from HostFly.in Scammers!

MagmaHost Scammer

Is this the place where you can add that MagmaHost Scammer is a shitty hosting ?
MH-Andy you should take more of your time solving your hosting problems than promoting your company as you’ll never

be able to write more good reviews for your hosting company than us (angry customers) who will search for MagmaHost Scammer

on internet and will share their extraordinary experience with MagmaHost Scammer.

So first of all the actual server uptime is 68% and, unfortunatelly, I don’t have only one domain or hosting plan

with them so this is actually an accurate number.
The next thing would be that all my MagmaHost Scammer hosting accounts have been moved around their servers like ping pong balls and

that hearts my seo rankings. My website changed it’s ip address 7 times in 6 months – that’s more than 1 ip change

per month – I was first on a US server now I’m ok a UK one.
Regarding customer support … they answer only what they want to and when they want to – they have a bad ticketing

system and they close your tickets even if not answered by default. Besides that, they can hardly understand english

as they are hired from india (at least that’s what my logs show after customer support checkeed my website) Online

customer support is out of the question as they don’t even answer the phone so it’s obvious that an online chat

customer support is missing.

They DO have awesome prices – you can get basic hosting for 1 year for $5 BUT you should consider adding:
+ $13 for doamin transfer to another registrar (when you’ll fear that you’ll loose your well ranked domain for good)
+ $10 out of nowhere without explanation of any kind (nor any answer to your “please explain this invoice”) with

your website being shut down for payment issues (I have registered/purchased domain and hosting for one year on

07.2009 and received my invoice for same package on 03.2010). Was forced to pay because my website was shut down for

payment.
+ $$$$$ – off your revenue for the website down (32% of time)
+ $$$$$ – time you took to write reviews like that instead of working on your websites
+ $$$$$ – money lost because search egines found your website down and ranked you bad

PS: Did you know that your google PR might go down because your shitty hosting ? Now you know – I have lost 1 PR

point for 2 domains hosted by magmahost (from pr 4 to pr3) so it’s real. Actually they even rank respected hosts

like godaddy hostgator or bluehost better than shitty not known hosts like MagmaHost Scammer based on ip – class. Example: if magmahost has shitty spamming customers hosted on their servers you’ll get in trouble just for that because you are on the same network.

On my side it costs me something like $300/domain/host/year with MagmaHost Scammer so in the end I would be easely buy a

reseller account with any other respected hosting company.

In the end I am forced to waiste my time trying to get my domain out of their hands and to move my websites to a

different host with all the trouble this might imply.

My advice: Buy only verified respected webhosting services as for the domains – keep them with godaddy – this way

you’ll have full 24/24 control for reasonable prices.

Use those shitty hostings only for shitty websites that you don’t care of and you want to do shitty things with and

remember – don’t try to register any domain with them.

In the end I have a question – what would you recommend that I should do in order have my domains transferred to

another registrar if they (obvious) refuse to. Have already filled a complain with icann but as they stated on their

website they don’t even guarantee a response nor they will act in any way to solve individual disputes.

I have rewritten your signature with a more appropiate one:

MagmaHost Scammer ►► Professional & Affordable Shared, Reseller Services – only if professional would be synonym to shitty
»» Performance, Reliability, Stability. Your data is safe with us. – “safe” it’s at least relative as you could lose anything including your domain.
»» 99.9 Uptime | Extremely Secure | 24/7 Support | LiteSpeed – that’s just plain true lie 99.9 in your dreams … or mine
★★★ Hosting anyone can afford. ★★★ UK AND USA SERVERS – Consider payment to magma as a long time loan as you’ll pay every day or at least lose money and regarding UK and USA servers it’s actually any random server they choose without notice every month.

MagmaHost

Than not, and since the start of August has been down for 5 days (in August) and 10 days in September (my ticket has been closed today, although my site is still down from 15th September).

An appalling level of customer support from MagmaHost – they do not respond to emails or support tickets. The telephone number provided on their website has not belonged to them since January 2010 (at least).

I have reported them to trading standards, PayPal and Companies house as they still appear to be a UK limited company (MagmaHost Limited) and suggest other unsatisfied customers also refer them to trading standards and raise a PayPal dispute.

If you read their site carefully enough you can see that they are now probably best described as a rogue trader. Their telephone number does not belong to them. They do not meet the requirements of the Companies Act in that their website does not refer to them being a UK registered company with registered number and registered office address. The terms and conditions say they are subject to the laws of Texas – clearly incorrect as they are a UK registered company, so would be subject to UK law.

The moral of the story is that MagmaHost provide:
- poor customer service
- non-response
- uptime is probably less than 50%
= Use another hosting provider!
