Google Smart Pricing

This is really a special and good concept in “Google AdWords/AdSense”.
What is this Google smart pricing about?
Through this, Google eliminates the invalid clicks from the ads displayed through AdWords Campaign. (Repeated clicks from a single IP - an example for invalid click).

Google will not tell the secret on how they find the invalid clicks.

But this greatly helps the advertiser to save their money from the illegal and invalid clicks.

Through Google AdWords you can get good ROI :)

This topic is discussed in detail at Google Smart Pricing.

Google Toolbar: Doubt: Voting Buttons

I found “Voting buttons” in the Google toolbar.
What is this?
Will this “voting buttons” affects the rankings of that page?

To enable voting buttons in the toolbar, do the following:

  1. Go to Google toolbar “options”

  2. Click the 3rd tab “more”

  3. In the “more” tab check “Voting Buttons” under “Even more buttons”

Any know how this works?

FYI:
The version of the toolbar that I am using is: 3.0.131.0-big/en (GGLG)

But, when I did a search in Google for my doubt, I got the following sentences from Google,

“Voting Buttons - You can vote for or against a page or search result by using these buttons. Click the happy or unhappy faces to tell Google that you like or dislike a particular page. These buttons also can be used to report especially good or bad results after searching with Google. Indicate satisfaction or dissatisfaction with your results by clicking the appropriate button while still on the search results page. This feature is in test mode for now, so you won't see any immediate effects by voting for or against a page.”

Is that working now in the search results? :(

Microsoft AdCenter

Microsoft Opens AdCenter Briefly For U.S. Advertisers

Microsoft Corp. on Monday invited advertisers to enroll in the U.S. pilot of AdCenter, an automated system for advertising on MSN Search.

The Redmond, Wash., company offered a three-hour window starting at 9 a.m. Eastern time for advertisers to join the beta program launched last year in the United States following testing in France and Singapore. Microsoft in the U.S. sign up charged a $5 one-time fee.

AdCenter, expected to launch this summer, is Microsoft's answer to Google's AdWords, which is the platform for the search engine's leading, multi-billion dollar advertising business. AdCenter is a self-service system that will eventually cover all forms of advertising offered on Microsoft's MSN portal, including branded displays, paid search, email marketing and other services. Microsoft plans to eventually allow MSN advertisers to go beyond a browser and PC to mobile devices and Internet-based television, called IPTV.

Microsoft has acknowledged that it was late in entering the advertising market related to online search. Tying sponsored links to search results has been the underpinning of Google's success.

To catch up with search powerhouse, however, Microsoft will need to improve on its consistent third-place standing in search behind Google and Yahoo Inc. In January, Google upped its share of the market by more than 1 percent to 48.2 percent, accord to Nielsen/NetRatings. Yahoo's share increased 1 percent to 22.2 percent, and MSN saw a 1.8 percent drop to 11 percent.
