I was messing around with one of my sites that sells telecom services and makes money with Google’s adSense and happened to see the new Google Scrolling adSense in action.  So I did a quick Camtasia Video that you can watch and hear one of my predictions for what is comming next.  This is an interesting new function from adSense, what remains to be seen is how users will react to it.

I can tell you I have been very disappointed by Microsoft and they online search platforms for a long time.  I am not a Microsoft fanboy but I do have a ton of respect for Bill Gates and I also really want someone to toughen up and stand up as a true alternative to Google.  At one time that was Yahoo but Yahoo has let more and more slip from their fingers, but hell at least they had something.

SEO Watch today though reports on an interview with Grad Conn of Microsoft talking about some pretty cool technology Microsoft is using in the area of Health Related Searches.  Now I sure would like to see more things like this from Microsoft.  Any way check out the article and why do you think Microsoft with massive resources can’t seem to get it right online?

The Google Blog today posted about a new feature in a post called, Twice the Sitelinks. Sitelinks are as pictured on the right links to specific sub pages that appear in search results when certain searches are made. These point to very specific sub pages on the listed site that help searchers find what they need quickly.

Up until now they have displayed perhaps 4 links and now as you can see they are displaying as many as 8. To make sure this is possible it is necessary to properly tag and optimize your individual pages. A step often missed by non SEO focused hasty webmasters.

Google has also been tweaking things so that Sitelinks will appear for many more websites, and with more descriptive names. These improvements should help visitors and again is yet another reason for good site optimization.
