Google Analytics Pro Toolset Prefers Firefox To Chrome
Seems many tech savvy people have a preference for Firefox, even Google touts using it as opposed to Chrome when employing their recommendations for analytic pro tools of the trade.
The plugins for Firefox are its attraction, something Chrome has yet to develop.
Last year, employees at Microsoft were found to be using the Mosiac browser. Seems Firefox will be continuing to grab market share, especially with their competitors recommending them.

Microsoft Live Blog Starts SEM Instruction
The people over at the Microsoft Live Search blog have started a series of SEM posts intended to help train people.
The SEM 101 posts are intended “to help folks who suddenly find themselves responsible for promoting their organization’s website. I’ve seen many visitors in the forums who ask basic questions, so I know there is an audience for this line of articles. I personally know many folks in my life outside work (there is such a thing, right?) who manage websites for their businesses but know little-to-nothing of SEM.”
I will be keeping an eye on how these posts develop and what level of information is shared. It is always interesting to watch the keeper of the algorithm help people improve there position in the results without tipping their hands to the factors influencing the algorithm.

Gmail Labs Keeps Search Inside Mail Interface
Google has developed a search box that will appear on the left-hand navigation to save people having to tab out and opening another search box while using Gmail.
I have had similar situations as the one described in the Gmail blog:
“I used to have a problem. People would ask me questions, over chat or email, and I’d have to leave Gmail to search Google for an answer. Then I’d have to select the answer, copy it, go back to Gmail and paste the answer into the chat window or my reply. Sometimes I’d get distracted and forget to go back to Gmail, and I’d have to go through it all again when I remembered what I’d been doing.”
You can add it through the Gmail Labs settings and is very handy, as the picture shows below.
As the image shows you can then choose to drop the result you want into chat or an email.
Thanks Google this one will be very handy.

First Was By Land, Now It’s By Sea - Google’s New Data Centers
William Slawski, of SEO by the Sea, appropriately was the one who is reporting that Google is working on developing sea-based data centers that use hydroelectricity harnessed from floating platforms.
The idea is a clever one - very green and very smart. The water can also be used for cooling. The patent filed in 2007 and granted April 28, 2009 details “a system (that) includes a floating platform-mounted computer data center comprising a plurality of computing units, a sea-based electrical generator in electrical connection with the plurality of computing units, and one or more sea-water cooling units for providing cooling to the plurality of computing units.”
Such technology could give a new name to “piracy”.

Is Your SEO Campaign Out of Focus?
I’ve spent the last few weeks reviewing scads of websites for our new SEO Website Review clients and have noticed a lot of interesting things in the process. The sites have run the gamut from the “best I’ve ever seen” – to – “better off starting from scratch,” with lots in between. Some were putting search engines before people, and others hadn’t had a chance to even think about search engines yet.

Why It's Important to Trust Your SEM Company in a Down Economy
It’s a fact of life in business that when there’s an economic downturn, the first thing that’s usually cut is available marketing spend, typically an unfortunate byproduct of accounting’s inability to justify costs without hard data in place. While the argument has been made numerous times over the years in books and articles that cutting budgets in a down economy is one of the worst moves you can make, I won’t rehash this old (but still valid) argument. Instead, I’d specifically like to address why cutting your search engine marketing budget in a down economy is a bad move, and why it’s equally important to place your trust in your search engine marketing company during a down turn.

Yahoo! Tops March 2009 Mobile Benchmark Study by Gomez and dotMobi
Gomez and dotMobi have collaborated on mobile benchmarks, and for the mobile search category, Yahoo! snagged first place overall in March 2009.
There were five categories used to measure. Yahoo! tied for first place in two of them: discoverability and readability. Here’s the five categories and how they’re measured:
- Discoverability — how readily a consumer can find the mobile Web site using different URLs.
- Readiness — how well the mobile Web site renders on popular mobile devices.
- Availability — the percentage of successful transactions or the availability of a Web page.
- Response time — how long each page takes to download and the duration of an entire transaction.
- Consistency — how well the mobile Web site performs on different mobile carriers, in different geographies and time frames.
Here are the results:

Twitter’s Retention Numbers Exposes Loyalty Problem
With all the buzz about Twitter lately, Nielsen Online exposes a problem: retention and loyalty. It seems that 60% of Twitter users never return the next month to Tweet. Compared to the retention rates of MySpace and Facebook, Twitter is lagging:
They also did some fancy pants math to show the correlation between retention and Internet reach:
What do you think of the Nielsen data? Is Twitter ultimately in trouble? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
