Google AdWords Officially Launches Demographic Bidding? Maybe Not

Search Engine Optimization No Comments »

On Friday, Google announced they launched demographic bidding to every advertiser in the AdWords program. In short, demographic bidding allows advertisers to show their ads to specific age groups and genders. They did a beta launch of this earlier this year, where they dropped using comScore data for their own.

The problem is, I, as an AdWords advertiser, cannot trigger the "modify bids" for the "demographics" section under the "advanced options" of the "edit campaign" screen. Yes, I tried multiple campaigns and followed the step by step instructions exactly. I am, however, still able to use the comScore demographic targeting feature, which is different from the demographic bidding feature.

Is Hiding Content With “Display: None” Legitimate SEO?

Search Engine Optimization No Comments »

If you're doing SEO on a site with thousands or tens of thousands of pages, it's likely you're working with some sort of content management system (CMS). However, CMS systems frequently cause problems with search engines. The great majority of the time these problems arise through ignorance on part of the CMS software developers. Basically, if the developers are not familiar with how search engines work, they may use coding practices that are not intended to be deceptive, but could be perceived that way by a search engine.

One technique used by many huge sites is to pre-load code, navigation, or content in the background so that it can be dynamically displayed as needed. The most common technique for accomplishing this is through the use of the CSS display: none attribute. This article will look at the display: none attribute in detail.

Is Yahoo Hoping For Justice Department Intervention To Stop MicroHoo Merger?

Search Engine Optimization No Comments »

If you're getting tired of the relentless back and forth about whether Yahoo has any more options to avoid a Microsoft takeover, so are we. And I would imagine so are Yahoo and Microsoft employees. With News Corp. publicly saying it won't bid against Microsoft and AOL seemingly fading as a merger/partner prospect for Yahoo, acquisition by Microsoft appears to be inevitable. Or is it?

Drilling Into Google’s Decline In Paid Clicks

Search Engine Optimization No Comments »

More doom and gloom on the paid search side for Google. comScore is once again reporting a drop in sponsored clicks, something that also happened last month. After last month's fallout, comScore did a lot of further analysis shared at theSearchscape panel at our SMX West conference andonline to ease concerns that it meant the sky was falling for Google and the US economy in general. comScore Paid Search Data & How The Sky Might Not Be Falling from us has more background on this. But how do things look for the second month running? I've done some drilling into the numbers, with lots of pretty charts. But frankly, it's anyone's guess.

Privacy Policies And Search Engines

Search Engine Optimization No Comments »

Small is Beautiful - a Column From Search Engine Land A few weeks back, I started wondering about whether or not search engines might care whether or not a web site had a privacy policy. Is the content of a page less relevant or more relevant if there's a link on it to information about how any data collected about visitors might be used? Probably not.

But it's possible that a search engine might consider that the source of content is more trustworthy, and more authoritative if it does include such a page. And that may make a difference...
