Google reps, if you're watching this, I'm sorry, but we're outing you guys on what actually works. Google Shopping's move to a paid shopping channel has generated a large amount of confusion and questions in the ecommerce world, particularly for...
I love the irony of the fact that you guys posted privacy concerns on Facebook. The augmented reality Google Glass eyewear isn't even available yet, but already a bar in Seattle has banned customers from using the futuristic headset due to privacy...
Google began with a couple of guys and an idea. That’s why thousands of Google advertisers woke up one morning in summer 2006 to discover that all their five cent keywords now cost them $10. But unlike most other media that will run your ad as long...
I walked into a warehouse, met the guys building the units, the owners of the company, got a hands on demo and watched them quality check my actual unit before I left. Part way through the transaction, one of the senior guys tells me they don't...
Jayson DeMers: What’s up, guys? Over Google’s updates they’ll fix it and I’ll naturally go on top because if you look the course of the history, it says that it should do well, tend to naturally do well over time, right?
It'd be great to hear what you guys are doing to update and adapt next year – see you in the comments! This decline wasn’t concentrated on one particular client or keyword area, and none of our clients were penalised last year by Google, so I am...

These guys aren't limited by budget, and if they're showing a lot despite a low average rank in the auction they're probably being buoyed up by pretty good quality scores. Keep an eye on these guys, their CTRs are probably good.
