DISQUS

Vinny, thanks for sharing this information!

Vinny, it has been a great pleasure working with you at 2 different jobs. Both were really great experience! I believe you have made the best choice and will make Synthasite a very successful product within your short time.

I may be wrong though, but if the staffs of Getlandingpages.com do run complicated PPC campaigns like what we do, it could drastically improve the quality of their landing pages (in terms of quality score).

If it's only a one-page thing (according to Rhianna's comment), then what's the point of having it?

I still remember your request to Overture... It seems like rather with Panama, the continent blocking was introduced instead of what you have asked for.

Enjoy your road trip and drive safe! Post some pictures too! :-)

Vinny great post! Thanks for giving us the insightful information on Web 1.0, 2.0, ... 3.0.

That's really great news for the blogosphere and affiliate marketing.

Congrats Vinny!

Isn't this what Yahoo supposed to be focusing on - the social side of things.

Vinny, thanks for mentioning!

Thanks for sharing Vinny. Really interesting concepts in the video!

Vinny, it's true.

Most 2nd or 3rd tier PPC search engines either have extremely low traffic volume on their tail, or have very low traffic volume as a whole. It's definitely going to hurt your ROE if you haven't probably worked out what you actually worth per minute!

Vinny, thanks for sharing your VC reading experience. Best of luck with the relocation!

Thanks Vinny, so I have made it on the list. :-)

The No Follow attribute has been a great way of combating blog link spams, but Vinny I think it's a good move from you in restoring the true purpose of link popularity.

I'm not using a Mac yet, so I'll stick with Google Reader for another while as my preferred feed reader.

To add to it, here in Cape Town we have really great beaches which you don't find in many countries!

I hope Ananzi is using this poll to determine if they will soon scrap all their pop-ups & -unders. I agree with Vinny that pop-ups & -unders really work these days, as there is solid evidence that search has long been dominating in the space of online advertising - Google is an excellent example.

Vinny, I like the idea!

Vinny, this finding simply shows that by doing paid search professionally by one of the toppest PPC companies (e.g. Clicks2Customers) will eventually benefit a web page's search engine optimization effort!

If Yahoo's intention is to improve ad's quality and then ad's click-through-rate, this is definitely the wrong move. Only by allowing all the agencies and affiliates to compete or to complement, the ad with the best quality will be discovered.

From this perspective, Yahoo is still way behind Google.

Vinny, thanks for mentioning my blog and giving me the credits! :-) I'll start leaving comments again when I'm back to the office.

Btw, Shanghai and Hong Kong of China are great places to be, though I'm missing the beaches in Cape Town!

Vinny great post! :-) The idea is as you said, making it available anywhere, anytime...

Though, PPC geo-targeting is never yet perfect, I really like that fact that Brian keeps saying IP targeting is just a subset of geo-targeting.

Vinny, I think you were just unfortunate! I just ran a search on Wikipedia for "Powerbook" and found the paragraph below:

== Product recall of PowerBook G4 units by Consumer Product Safety Commission ==

On May 20, 2005, the Consumer Product Safety Commission ordered a recall of some Apple PowerBook G4 batteries. The official CPSC recall notice states that an internal short can cause the battery cells to overheat, posing a fire hazard to consumers. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. The defective batteries can be returned to Apple for replacement. Approximately 128,000 defective units were sold.
