On June 15, Page Zero's Andrew Goodman spoke on a panel (shown moderating above: Microsoft's Jeff Bentley) at the first ever Microsoft Canada Executive Retail Summit, held at the always-attractive Drake Hotel on Queen West in Toronto. The intimate group was abuzz with asks for Microsoft on topics such as better attribution, a new Display Network, and much more as it maintains its strong search share (30% in the U.S., 15% in Canada, with recent growth...
Along with insurance companies, car companies have been one of the major holdouts when it comes to their lingering attachment to relentless, expensive television advertising. It has its place, but how much is too much? The ads show to everyone - over, and over, and over again. That feels wasteful, if ROI is your thing.

To put it in perspective, the last time Google held its on-campus Google Dance in conjunction with the SMX West conference, George W. Bush was still President. In the Democratic Primaries following Super Tuesday 2008, it was far from clear that Barack Obama would defeat Hillary Clinton for the Presidential nomination.

Everyone's talking about Google's recent decision to remove AdWords ads from the right rail. Let me humbly add the most incredibly cogent response to date. A few folks noticed Google's tests prior to the rollout. Some folks, like Moz's Dr. Pete Myers, noticed a lot more than others. Are some observers overreacting? Probably. Some of those in the bleachers tend to enjoy spectating primarily in terms of the superficial look and feel of the SERP. Since the playing field is...
Recently, I had dinner in Orlando with Bill and Ted (not their real names), some pretty successful digital agency owners. (By successful, I mean more than 50 employees and strong annual revenues.) They’ve been friends of mine for a long time, so I assumed they’d be up for a little of the usual expert banter. The first punch in the gut came when I casually explained about some PPC bidding methods we routinely use. My friends had...
