Amazon is working on it’s own PPC program called ClickRiver.com. The ads will show up on Amazon search pages and detail pages. Interesting step by Amazon. I may try out the program. If you do, let me know how you like it. More details are here.

A while back Enquiro released a report based on their eye tracking technology, which is really really cool! It actually shows the patterns of concentration on different areas of the Google search results. This was enormous information for search engine marketers.
This morning I received a press release from Enquiro - they have expanded their research to Yahoo and MSN! Read below… LR
New Enquiro Eye-Tracking Study: Google, MSN, Yahoo Compared
Enquiro Search Solutions has released a new eye tracking study which compares users’ search experiences between Google, MSN and Yahoo.
Kelowna, BC (PRWEB) January 12, 2007 — Enquiro Search Solutions has released a new eye tracking study which compares users’ search experiences between Google, MSN and Yahoo.
Enquiro’s original study used eye tracking technology to quantify what user interactions with the Google search results page looked like. The results were the “Golden Triangle” image which has been discussed extensively. Of course, because the scope of the original study was restricted to Google, that left one big question: What about the other engines?
This new study from Enquiro not only answers that question but attempts to explain the significant differences in search behaviors noticed on Yahoo! and MSN search results pages where the tasks given were the same. We explore the reason for this, which has less to do with the actual relevance of the results themselves and more to do with the perception of relevancy.
We believe it’s very important for marketers to understand the nuances of perceived relevance as it can play an important role in the day-to-day decisions being made so we took the data and boiled it down into some real life strategies for the marketer to boost the performance of a company’s campaigns. We also look at doing a SWOT analysis on a search results page to gain a website’s unfair share of click throughs, look at the impact of position on potential conversions, explore how banner blindness can occur on a search page, show how to use information scent to a website’s advantage in the various sections of the page and quantitatively determine what is the best position to bid for on the page.

People excel in different areas of specialization. And this
usually depends on their capability and intelligence. Not all
people are born intelligent, or with special gifts. Since the
early times, there are quite a number of people with special
gifts, like the inventors, the musicians, and so on.
One man who is very well known today because of his exceptional
talent and capability is Jay Abraham. He is the CEO and founder
of the Abraham Group Incorporated, located in Los Angeles.
He is even considered as America’s no.1 marketing wizard because
of his ability to boost the success of different business,
income, and wealth. Small or big, it doesn’t really matter.
There are a lot of satisfied testimonials of Abraham’s superb
ability and expertise.
The secret to a business’ success are its hidden assets,
undervalued possibilities, and overlooked opportunities. And
these things can only be identified by Abraham. Aside from this,
he can also identify patterns which limit or restrict the growth
of a particular business. He can look into a business’ marketing
approach and effectively tell what is wrong with it. He is able
to impart to many business owners the concepts which they can
adopt to ensure market competitiveness.
Here are just a few of Jay Abraham’s secret to a successful and
wealthy business venture:
* business owners should learn what they really want, and how
they want to get things done without holding back; some even go
through it all without following the status quo
* every business encounters certain obstacles and problems,
and once you triumph against all this things, you can reach the
peak of success
* always think positive, disregard negative thinking; if you
encounter problems, try to look at them as opportunities or a
solution
* the saying ‘try and try until you succeed’ can do miracles
and it’s definitely true; giving up easily will not take you
anywhere
* business ethics is very important; never compromise, lower
standards, or sell out, take a firm stand in everything you do
* you must be able to believe and commit, and once you have
set a goal or goals, do everything possible to achieve it without
stumbling on others
* you must focus, diversions should not sway you from your
goal; focus on accomplishments
* don’t be afraid to take risks; if you think you can
attain maximum yields and minimum downside, go ahead
* have no fear; move forward, and take chances
These are just some of the secrets that Jay Abraham imparted to
people and business owner. If you absorb all these things, put it
in your mind, then you’re ready to make your way to success.
You can even memorize it if you want. But don’t let it end
there; you must be able to apply it in real life. Incorporate it
in all your undertakings.
Being America’s no. 1 genius, he has his very own website. Feel
free to visit the site, and perhaps you too can discover the way
to success and wealth. Any business undertaking wants to succeed,
and if you think Jay Abraham is the answer, go for it.
Take the chance. And who knows, he’s just the person that
