at hotels, this could of easily slipped through.
Example below:
Below is the actual email that was passed along to me, with a few necessary edits
I received a fax invoice from a SEO Marketing for search engine optimization. The account number listed on the invoice is XXXXXXX for the domain XXXXXXXX address - he invoice is for $79.99. Do you have any idea if this is a legit. Their email address is seowebmarketing@gmail.com and their phone number is 713 344 0560. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your help.
I have to hand it to them, $79.99 for full blown SEO implementation... wow what a STEAL! (beware)
On a side note, the company www.seomarketing.com may be in need of a little Search Engine Reputation Management (SERM) if this spreads.
Cheers!

Hello all, It's been awhile I know.. I've been head deep in work.
Anyhow, I came across this today when searching for the new "The Bourne Ultimatum" movie in Google.

It's amazing that Google is that much more ahead the curve in advertising display within search than any other engine to date.
Well back the grind. Talk soon!

Is anyone awake at CNN.COM? Please check out your ads relating to your top story... at least pull them for the time being. Wake up.

It goes to show you how running network ads can be a bit risky if not properly managed. Content ads are optimized and displayed based on content. This is what happens when the algorithm is not fully understanding the context.
I hope this is resolved soon...Benjamin Burns

If anyone, for some odd reason... wants to follow me check it out here. Twitter enables you to read little snippets aka (twits) of my current status.
My mission is to find how Twitter will relate to search engine marketing and optimization. I already have a few ideas on the benefits for business and viral search marketing :) I’ll keep you posted.

"Keyword Search is All About The Sexy Longtail"

Back in the 90’s and early 2000’s searchers would typically use very short keyword phrases, an example would be (for searching for luxury cars) get this “luxury cars” now 2007 searchers are use to using search engines and have become savvy in understanding how to dig into the search results.
Fast forward into 2007 and that same keyword search now looks like “top ten luxury cars” or better yet, “top ten luxury cars under 60 grand”.
As a search engine marketer, it’s all about getting the most bang for your buck, and by utilizing the long tail of search, you can turn that once broad 3 bucks a click into a 30 cent click with a higher conversion rate.
Be smart and go for ROI, not just traffic. I rather have medium traffic with high conversions for our clients than huge traffic reports and low conversion rate… makes sense right?
Now go.. go and find your sexy longtail market and do well for your client.
Tools to locate, those special keyword phrases:

My conclusion is that with all the great tools and customizing terapad gives you as a blogger or a company wanting to market their services I'm more then happy to throw them a few cents.
The option to pay 5 dollar to remove the ads is up to you, I say just give them a few cents, unless your market deals with heavy weight keywords and terapad starts making 100's of dollars of you then, maybe go over to wordpress.
Anyhow I'm very impress with terapad platform!
Cheers!
