AdSense Adds A New Display Feature

I just noticed this morning that Google added a new option under the drop down menu for Views on the Overview page. There is now a ’since last payment - XX/XX/XX’ button which will display all you have earned since you were last paid (obviously). I think this is a pretty cool feature to show what you have earned since you were last paid and hence will give you a broader understanding of where you are financially in your account.

Google Buys Into The Radio

Not only is Google pushing for print ads and online ads, they are now going to be making a push for Radio advertising through the recently acquired company dMark. This company specifically targets automatic-connection with Radio stations and their advertising. With this new company under their belt, Google will not have a limitless horizon for advertising and connecting with their advertisers. The price is said to most likely top $1.2 billion, which is a nice chunk of change to Google after recently buying out part of AOL. This is not a one-time payment, but they are paying somewhere around $100 million cash and then over the next three years they will pay off the finally remaining $1.14 billion.

Google says it plans on integrating the new radio advertising platform into the already made AdWords application platform and have them work side by side. This newly acquired platform for advertising will make their company even more profitable with the expanded platforms of marketing available to their advertisers and new publisher network.

Track AdSense Clicks Through Analytics

Everyone has been wondering when Google Analytics will integrate AdSense into the application such as it has already been done for AdWords, but there have been a couple people that created some hack-scripts to get the job done until Google can get those features added. One script simply adds in some < script > code and then lets you add a goal and the AdSense clicks are tracked for IE users (there is a mozilla bug that causes this to break). There is another well developed application, on the other hand, though. Both are equally good applications in my mind. These are a couple simple hacks to get around the not-yet-integrated AdSense application into your Google Analytics account. Take a look at both and see which one fits your needs the best!

Google Maps Show Sponsored Listings

Google has apparently been integrating Google Maps in with Sponsored Listings of places such as hotels. ClickZ.com reports that such as a search as this gives results not only with free listings but with sponsored listings as well. This is a test to see how well people (and companies) respond to paid placement — for any product under Google. Google Maps has been used for quite some time now, rather their API has been, to give listings for companies like CraigsList or directions to a school. Many sites simply hook-in with the API, input their own coordinates, and automagically the directions/location appears before you. Now with all that already in place, Google has the functionality to input extra listings in order to give these companies more publicity and better viewing. Offering free services like Google does, nearly always will come with a price.

The next item we should be looking for is what they are going to be doing with Google Earth. While yes, Google Earth is already offered as a premium service, we may see sponsored listings popping up in the free version as well — simply because “there is no such thing as a free lunch — unless you’re on the Google campus in Mountain View, CA“. Main idea, keep your eyes open for new sponsored listings popping up here and there around Google products.

Google Analytics Opens Up Shop Again

According to the latest status update, Google Analytics have been reopened for those users that were put on the waiting list. I personally have been using Google Analytics for quite some time now and I thoroughly love them. They have been amazing to me and treated my sites very well. The analytics it provides is simply astounding. The webmaster, marketing, e-commerce and executive views give full perspective to all the web analytics for my sites.

Hopefully Google Analytics will remain open and soon become available to the public for free sign-ups. Right now they are only doing it via their invite system. I also hope they open the system up to having more than 5 profiles. I currently have 9, but that’s because I added them before they started limited the number of profiles available to each user. I have many sites I want to track, but it just seems the systems are still being overloaded.

Since we launched, we’ve improved the freshness of report data so that our existing customers can see reports that are as recent as 3 hours ago. We’ve also re-enabled the addition of new profiles so that all of our existing customers can track additional sites using Google Analytics.

This is a huge plus for me too, I’m looking forward to the point where they have near-RealTime analytics. 3 hours is good enough for me, even though RealTime will always be better.

Hello? Earth to Mac…? Hello?

Google has been in the shop putting together a version of Google Earth just for Macs. With it’s recent release, we can finally breath easy so that these avid users of Mac can now browse and see where Mr. Gates lives — I guess they wanted to see Disneyland too. Google has been a large sponsor of Open Source projects in the past, which is still a surprise to why they have not yet released versions targeted for the Linux based operating system — yet I’m sure someone will release a version now that there is a Mac edition out. The Mac-ies can now look in their own backyard, peered even from distant lands — but Google finally released the Mac version of this wonderful software that [us] windows users have enjoyed for so long.

Google Ads Now Appearing in the Chicago Sun-Times

Google Inc. is now advertising with text ads in the Chicago Sun-Times. We had all heard of recent developments of this possibility of the partnership between these two companies and now we are seeing it in action. ChicagoBusiness.com gave feedback and insight to what was happening with the business deal.

Google is best-known as an Internet search engine, of course, but nearly all of its revenue comes from ads. Through the first three quarters of 2005, the California-based company posted $4.2 billion in advertising revenue, up 96% from the year-earlier period. Most ads on Google’s site are keyed to its users’ search terms.

With this in place, Google is able to expand beyond the internet through their ad service and provide ads to newspapers now along side of many AdSense publishers’ websites. This kind of advertising will expand the Google AdWords program to something that it has never been before. Google AdWords can now be considered a major advertising market network because of the close connections it has to both written and published work; newspapers and online content.

A Google spokesman declines to comment on Google’s satisfaction with the test; the ads debuted on Dec. 9, and only 15 boxes have run so far. “This limited test is part of Google’s continuing effort to develop new ways to provide effective and useful advertising to advertisers, publishers and users,” the Google spokesman says.

Considering what has been said so far, or rather what hasn’t been said, it’s really a toss-up still to see which direction Google goes with these results and if they pursue it even further after this ‘test’ goes.

Go Paid, Go Video, Go Google

As it was earlier mentioned, Google is starting a video download service that will cost money. This is new for something offered by Google, charging for a service, since nearly everything being offered so far is free. Other products such as Google Analytics, Google Mail (GMail), Google Earth, and Froogle, have all been free services so far. Could this video download-pay service be the start of a new trend for Google or is it only a way to pay for higher quality products? Like always, something we will just have to wait on and see in the near future.
