PROs take note: the battle for Google visability begins on 5th May
Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:44:15 PDT
Another busy working week means another 3,000 unread feeds and so I came across this news story in a magazine (yes, I know! Crazy huh). Personally I think the stroy is of huge importance to the PROs and posing quite a significant threat to the industry. That said, I haven't yet seen the story in PR Week or on other UK blogs (bearing in mind I haven;t read many feeds this past week!). According to Marketing, from 5th May Google plans to open up its keyword bidding allowing anyone to bid for ke
Sandra Bullock Almost Killed By Drugged-Up Driver
Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:45:05 PDT
Nineties heartthrob Sandra Bullock has narrowly escaped death after her car was hit by a drug-crazed female driver. The drug in question is the one which is responsible for more deaths each year than cocaine, heroin and crack combined. It is the one which is smelt on the breath of 40% of reported violent criminals, 78% of assaulters and 88% of criminal damagers. Worst of all, it is the drug most responsible for the current record-breaking human-population on earth. It’s alcohol - obvio

Torturers in the White House: Why Is This Story Being Ignored? “The biggest news of the last week went virtually uncovered by the mainstream, print media. ABC News first reported last Wednesday that top Bush Administration officials, including Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, John Ashcroft, and George Tenet, Colin Powell, and Donald Rumsfeld met to discuss which particular torture techniques should be used against Al Qaeda suspects in U.S. custody.” Original Entry Leave Comment

Role of Web Analytics in Cross Channel Marketing
Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:50:14 PDT
Cross channel marketing exists today, but in its crudest form. The rich integration of customer information and behavioural data with marketing strategy is imminent – it’s just a matter of getting the formula right. The formula we’re talking about has web analytics as the key variable. Web analytics as a standalone solution has limited value, but team it with other customer information and you’ve got powerful information at your fingertips. Think about it. On its own, web analytics has the ca

Yanks Don’t Understand Watson’s Take On Farnsworth
Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:50:41 PDT
Via George King: Even though they watched Kyle Farnsworth’s first pitch to Manny Ramirez on Thursday night at Yankee Stadium fly behind the Red Sox slugger’s head, the Yankees were stunned that baseball’s top cop, Bob Watson, yesterday suspended the right-handed reliever for three games. “I am surprised by it,” GM Brian Cashman said before last night’s 6-0 loss to the Orioles at Camden Yards. “Other than that, we will wait for the appeal process. I don’t agree with it.” Manager Joe Girardi
