What Exactly Is A Copywriter?
High Rankings Forum
"I am looking for a writer and I am a little baffled by all the titles. Copy Writer? Technical Writer? Creative Writer?"
Selling Organic Positions
Search Engine Watch Forums
"This model has been around for a decade. Many today are simply better at it, while their target markets are more receptive to taking advantage, thus helping to monetize the model."
API?
High Rankings Forum
"...the API technology seems to be the way all of the big data houses are moving. Amazon already has one. eBay does too. And all of the major search engines. All of them are (basically) Open Source too."
Nielsen reports that 42% of users click the #1 SERP [Search Engine Results Page” result
Cre8asite Forums
"42% of users studied selected the topmost search listing from the results. This was far and away the most-clicked single link position in the study. However, it is still interesting to note that the majority (58 percent) of all users studied did not select the top search result."

How Is C-Index Used?
Cre8asite Forums
"I would be interested in a discussion of how C-Index analysis is used in SERPS, especially as related to niche terms. How might an especially high or low C-Index effect a site's SERPS, time in the sandbox or AdSense targeting?"
Local Search Polluting the PPC Listings?
Virtual Promote Forums
"Unlike Search, you can't see what the other bids are. You can only see an Estimated Max Bid and can see what you're actually charged. No way of knowing how many bidders or what their bids might be. This is because the Local areas each advertiser chooses can overlap so the number of ads can differ for each town."
Inverse Searches and User Annotations
Cre8asite Forums
"Imagine being about to enter a URL, and find out information about the site, collected over time, such as which other sites point to it, what other people feel about it, and more. A couple of new patent applications from Yahoo cover these types of topics."

High Rankings Forum
