Technorati Launches New Blog Ad Network – Yay!

Technorati is finally throwing their hats into the ring of Blog Ad Servers and at first glance that makes us very happy. Their new service is called Technorati Media

What is Technorati?

Technorati is the ‘leading blog search and destination designed to showcase and bring consumers to blog content…’ Basically Technorati is to blogs as what Google is to regular search. So what does that mean to you and me? Well,think of it as Google setting up its own ad servers. Oh wait, they already did that ;)

How Can You Get Involved?

Much like other services you can either place or run ads. Do you have a blog and don’t like Google AdSense or Federated Media use Technorati’s ad server services. If you are a blogger and want to run ads on your site check out their Publisher page. If you are looking to advertise on Technorati Media visit their Advertisers page

Of course we can help you weed through the muck and set up either service for you. If you have any questions about this or anything SEM/SEO related visit us at http://www.schipul.com/sem or call 281 497 6567

Page Load Time in Affect for Google AdWords

Thursday, June 19, 2008

A while back Google told us that they’ll be adding a new item that will be used to determine the quality score of your keywords – the page load time of your landing pages. They announced last night that it is in full affect now. 

What is Landing Page Load Time? – the amount of time it takes for a user to see the landing page after they click on your ad.

Again, you can see your landing page load time score from your Keyword Analysis Page.

AdWordsLandingPageTime

This score is now being added to your overall quality score.  So it is very important to check now and fix it quickly before you start to see your minimum bid increase due to a low quality score.

For more information on how to improve your page load time, take a look here: http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=93116
