A UK web analytics firm has revealed that users of Internet Explorer could be having their web use tracked, allowing firms to capitalise with targeted marketing.
The flaw has been discovered by London firm spider.io. It says that three of the biggest analytic companies in the world are already exploiting it too. In explaining the size of the problem, Doug de Jager said: (more…)
Tech giant Microsoft, a protaganist for the introduction of rules and regulations in regards to content piracy on the net, sends a lot of requests for content removal on a daily basis.
However, data recently published has shown that the copyright infringement requests are wrongly requesting the removal of (more…)
Monday 1st October 2012 was a memorable day for Google as the company’s market value surged ahead of Microsoft. This is the first time that Google has had a greater market value than Microsoft, with a closing value of (more…)
The latest Search Engine and Social Analysis from Hitwise has shown that Bing and Ask search engines, both operated by Microsoft, have increased their market share.
However, whilst this (more…)
Many people in SEO are of the opinion that Google is the search engine of choice when optimising your website. It’s no surprise that other search engines aspire to be as big as it, but Google has accused search engine rival Microsoft of pilfering its own search results for Bing.
The realisation dawned on Google with its team for correcting typo errors in (more…)
If your website doesn’t rank well within Google, you should probably seek the services of an SEO company. If you’re already receiving SEO services, or have an SEO consultant or in-house team on the case and you’re still not getting results, perhaps it’s time to change your search engine optimisation company?
Alternatively, you could take a leaf out of the book of three companies in particular, and complain to the EU that your website isn’t ranking in Google. If only every business did that about their website!
Incredibly, one of the companies complaining to the EU about their poor Google rankings is Microsoft. Microsoft isn’t happy about the Google rankings for its product reviews website Ciao.co.uk and, rather than conduct some SEO on the site, or evaluate the website’s current SEO, they’ve gone straight to the top and are crying foul about Google’s ranking algorithm to the EU.
The other two companies who are also crying foul are a French legal site, ejustice.fr, and a UK search engine called Foundem – no, we’ve never heard of them either and their website seems to feature (more…)
As an SEO company, we pretty much despise Flash in all of its forms. Its inaccessibility for search engines is matched only by its capacity to annoy people when used as an advertising medium.
Recently, I spent a few house using a Hotmail inbox. Don’t ask, it was necessary. Anyway, while I was using this inbox to deal with a seemingly endless stream of emails I was presented with an advert on the right hand side of the screen. This ad showed a police officer running, and looked to be a static image ad.
Oh no, upon rolling over this ad (by mistake) it opened up, covering the screen with its full motion video of a policeman running through the streets. While I was using Hotmail for a few hours, this ad must have opened up over a dozen times as I accidentally touched it (more…)
Ever since the release of Microsoft’s updated Bing search engine, rumours have been rife in the SEO industry. At first, there was wild and even hopeful speculation that Bing would push Google from its place at the top of the search ladder – most of this came from Microsoft however. When it became apparent that this was not going to happen, or at least not happen as fast as some of the more outlandish commentators had predicted, rumour moved on to other areas of the net for Bing to conquer.
Now, rumour has settled onto speculation over Bing’s place in the smartphone industry. Talks have been on for a while between Microsoft and Apple about pushing Bing on the iPhone. If this change did occur, it would mean big things for Bing, and even (more…)
A recent study from Google has revealed a growing trend in the use of mobile devices as in-store shopping companions. In the report, ‘Mobile In-Store Research: How in-store shoppers are using mobile devices’, Google looks into the way consumers make use of their devices whilst browsing stores. According to the research, 84 per cent of [...]
Nintendo has confirmed that it is making money from content uploaded to YouTube by the people playing its games. The video game giant is using a ‘content ID match’ tool to locate footage of its games uploaded to the video sharing site. It then inserts adverts before the video starts, meaning that
In a bid to more closely integrate search with social media, Microsoft’s search engine Bing has introduced a new feature to stop its users having to move between different windows when multitasking online. The addition, which appears on the site’s existing social sidebar, allows users to
