Google Begins Implementing New Ads Scheme–Behavioral Advertising

Posted under SEO & SEM,Web News Updates by royvan on Wednesday 11 March 2009 at 3:09 pm

Google introduced another form of advertising scheme called behavioral targeting and said to be implemented starting on Wednesday by showing ads to individuals based on their previous online activity. The program has been welcomed by most of its competitors but also has ignited criticism from some privacy advocates.

Google is said to be using a cookie–a small piece of program that is integrated to a web browser–to follow users as they visit from one page to another that show ads through its Adsense program and then assign those users to categories based on the substance of the web pages they visit.

This newly-introduced advertising scheme is set to be tested with several dozens of advertisers but Google plans to widen its scope.

Meanwhile, some critics, analysts say that the Google’s venture to this so called ‘behavioral targeting’ program could bring the company’s relationship with web publishers that utilizes its advertising services into a higher degree of complexities as there are many publishers may be reluctant to give information about their user when they visit other sites.

    Oh no! Hope this doesn’t mean new regulations for AdWords bidders…has Google published something for those who are in the keyword bids?

    Hi everyone

    You can pay google per click big money to place you in the top ten search results for a certain keyword or phrase, and you will find your website lonely listed in the 9 page

    Be extremely careful of any out-going links from your site. Don’t link to bad neighborhoods (link farms, banned sites, etc.) Google will penalize you for bad links so always check the PageRank of the sites you’re linking to from your site.

    In the process, you will have protected your site and yourself from the big bad Google PR wolf.

    There is one more strategy you must explore if you want to lessen the power and importance of your own site’s PR.

    I am always happy to refer this promotion service posting service to you guys as I know they provide a 1st class service
