What Is IM Remarkable
» ‎ Retired Pay World
by Jay Smith
Hey there and welcome to this article. Today Im going to be discussing a product that is soon to be released called im remarkable.

Its likely that in the coming weeks youll be hearing more and more about this product from people promoting it.

The creator of im remarkable is Howie Schwatz who you may have heard of. He is the creator of the hit product black hat is back and many others.

It may interest you to know that im remarkable is coming out on the fourteenth of july and by now you may be asking what it’s all about and if you should consider checking it out.

Im Remarkable is focused on the people that aren’t making any money online or people that aren’t doing as well as they’d wish.

The first thing howie does is to sort of interview you to find out your current knowledge of the online world and then tailors the training around you. This has never been done before and will be a breath of fresh air for you if you arent getting anywhere just reading ebooks.

After Howie has evaluated you he will then put you in a group with other people with similar knowledge to you and the training will begin.

When the training starts you will be learning though channels such as video and online group meetings as well as online seminars.

The main things the course entails is getting traffic and then monetizing the traffic with the right offers for your niche. This may sound simple but it works and Howie is great at doing it and teaching it.

From what Ive heard they are offering by the hand training so if you always have a mentor to help you through things. The thing that I like is that Howie is guaranteeing that you will make money or your money back which is a plus.

So to conclude if you are having trouble earning online then look out for the 14th of July and see if it’s right for you.

Google Added 25% to Chinese Ad Revenue
» ‎ Andy Beal's Marketing Pilgrim

After their recent skirmish with the Chinese government over Internet porn, Google China is back online. And they’re already optimistic: apparently they’re poised to announce a Q2 revenue increase in China of 25% over the previous quarter. (And in this economy, that’s not just great; that’s phenomenal!)

Brand Republic reports that Google China will also see operating revenue increases of 45% to 50% over the second quarter of last year. For owning only 30% of the Chinese search market, that seems pretty impressive. And the revenue boost from April, May and June of this year probably wasn’t because of a jump in market share—they’ve only added eight percentage points to their marketshare over the last two years.

Meanwhile, Baidu continues to dominate the Chinese search market with 64%, according to Brand Republic. And it’s not losing ground to Google, either—Baidu is up six percentage points from two years ago. So it would seem that smaller players in the market are losing market share to the two leaders. Brand Republic doesn’t mention on a similar revenue boost in Q2 for Baidu, but the Chinese search giant did have a strong first quarter this year.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt notes that the company continues to work with the Chinese government over its pornography concerns.

What do you think? Is Google betting better at monetizing in China, or are people just suddenly more willing to click on search ads? Do you think Baidu is seeing similar gains?

Search Ads Less Helpful than TV, Newspaper
» ‎ Andy Beal's Marketing Pilgrim
The results of a new poll from Harris Interactive indicate that Internet advertising isn’t as effective as search engine marketers would like to think. When asked what medium’s ads were most helpful in making purchase decisions, the 2500+ American respondents indicated that first television, then newspapers, then search engine ads. Internet banner ads fared even worse:
- 37% said television ads were most helpful in purchase decisions
- 18% said newspaper ads
- 14% said search engine ads
- 3% said radio ads
- 1% said Internet banner ads
Perhaps most revealing, however, is the math. Those numbers don’t add up to 100% because another 28% (rounding effects) said that none of those ad media were helpful in purchase decisions.

The Harris poll also asked about what kinds of ads people ignore. Again, the banner ads didn’t do so well:
- 46% tended to ignore Internet banner ads
- But only 17% of people said they ignored search engine ads
- 13% ignored TV ads
- 9% ignored radio ads
- 9% don’t ignore any of those ad media
The full results (PDF) break out the data by demographic and geography:

I’m kind of torn about these results. I’ve long said that as an Internet marketer, I’m proud to have people so subtly influenced by search engine ads that they don’t recognize that influence later. On the other hand, it’d be nice to be considered “helpful.” On yet another hand, since when is the point of advertising to be found “helpful”? Should that even be our goal?

What do you think? Is this something to get worried about, or should we go along our merry way, advertising or persuading but not “helping” people?

Google AdWords & Ad Planner Get the Mary Kay Treatment
» ‎ Andy Beal's Marketing Pilgrim

In addition to some minor changes with the blog search interface, Google has been busy updating both the Google Ad Planner and Adwords interfaces.

The AdWords updates are in response to feedback Google has received since it introduced a new look last month. About the only thing that appears to be truly an "update" is a new search feature for finding your keywords.

Searching for keywords We heard many of you are looking for quick ways to search for keywords, ad text, or campaign names within your account. In previous posts, we talked about how you can use filtering to focus on the data that matters to you. While text filters allow you to search and act directly on the data you see, they also take a few clicks to set up for the first time. To help you work more quickly, we’ve added a new shortcut that lets you quickly search by text under the ‘Filter and views’ menu on any tab.

The other changes are really just things that Google should have done in the first place. It now loads faster, has less horizontal scrolling, and is now compatible with Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5.

Moving on to Google Ad Planner. The one-year old ad management system gets a complete overhaul–one that will remind you of the new AdWords interface. I guess that was intentional.

I’m not a user of Google Ad Planner, so I can’t tell you if it’s changed for the better, but it sure does look purty!

Google Blog Search, Now With Added Mediocrity
» ‎ Andy Beal's Marketing Pilgrim

Google has updated the homepage to Google Blog Search, but it seems more like a knee jerk reaction to other web sites, than true innovation.

Take for example the new “Hot queries” section. It highlights the search terms currently most active on Google Blog Search. It sounds like a good idea, but ends up looking like nothing but a rip-off of Twitter’s “Trending Topics.” Google couldn’t even be bothered to match those hot queries to the topic you’re viewing. Switch to technology news, and you still see “tour de france” and English soccer star “michael owen” in the list.

The new “Latest Posts” section doesn’t fare much better. In fact, you could argue it’s worse. While you might discover something of interest in the untargeted hot queries, the chances of you finding a post of interest, among those just published, is unlikely. The section does exactly what it says on the tin–displays the latest posts from everyone. Again, some targeting would have been nice.

Thankfully, the new RSS and Atom subscriptions do change as you switch between topics. So, if you’re interested only in “Video Games” blogs, you can subscribe to updates for the hottest blog posts on that topic.

It seems to me that Google is suffering from juggling too many balls. When you focus on one thing–and do it well–you tend to deliver new features that really appeal to your target audience. When your focus is split between many different products, you end-up with half-hearted efforts like this.

Google Book Settlement Officially on DOJ Radar
» ‎ Andy Beal's Marketing Pilgrim

Earlier in June we talked about how the Google book settlement reached with Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers was drawing the attention of the Department of Justice. The settlement between these two parties was reached in October 2008. There isn’t even final approval on the agreement and the fairness hearing to determine that approval is still months away. Under the settlement, Google’s plan to make available millions of titles copied from various public sources can move forward.

Google would have the right to display the books online and to profit from them by selling access to individual titles and by selling subscriptions to its entire collection to libraries and other institutions. Revenue would be shared among Google, authors and publishers.

The key phrase is the sharing of revenue that until the advent of this service was literally non-existent for many of these titles. Google’s blog post from last October says it pretty plainly

To date, Google has worked with libraries all over the world to make more than 7 million books searchable through Google Book Search, and we’re just getting started. We believe that ultimately we’ll provide access to many times that number, and if approved, this agreement will unlock access to millions of these texts and make the Google search experience even more comprehensive.

With this agreement, in-copyright, out-of-print books will now be available for readers in the U.S. to search, preview and buy online — something that was simply unavailable to date. Most of these books are difficult, if not impossible, to find. They are not sold through bookstores or held on most library shelves, yet they make up the vast majority of books in existence.

Now this settlement, which was reached with the parties who thought Google was getting away with something, is getting the real once over from the Department of Justice according to All Things Digital.

Since we are on the eve of the day that the United States celebrates our independence isn’t it interesting how the government thinks that maybe we have too much of a good thing with all of this “freedom” especially as it relates to business. Remember the good old days when you could get riled up about the Patriot Act because it was trampling our privacy? If the US government keeps up with its ownership of huge businesses and saying that if they don’t approve then it’s no good, they won’t need Patriot Act like bills. They’ll simply own or have a say in everything. They won’t to ask themselves permission to do anything. Apparently the rest of us are too stupid to handle our own affairs.

Ok, I admit it. I don’t think the government should be anywhere near as involved any business (not too obvious, right?) So back to the Internet and Google’s plight. The US ‘gub-ment’s’ official statement from Thursday states

“The United States has reviewed public comments expressing concern that aspects of the settlement agreement may violate the Sherman Act,” wrote William F. Cavanaugh, a deputy assistant attorney general. “At this preliminary stage, the United States has reached no conclusions as to the merit of those concerns or more broadly what impact this settlement may have on competition. However, we have determined that the issues raised by the proposed settlement warrant further inquiry.”

Let’s read between the lines. What is really being said is that they are going to find or make up ways to get their hands dirty on this one. Good thing Google is ramping up its forces in the DC theater because there will be blood. Any meddling government group worth its salt is sure to have something up their sleeve in order to make a public pronouncement of action taken.

Google’s response?

“The Department of Justice and several state attorneys general have contacted us to learn more about the impact of the settlement, and we are happy to answer their questions.

It’s important to note that this agreement is non-exclusive and if approved by the court, stands to expand access to millions of books in the U.S.”

If Google had ‘back-doored’ this agreement or simply ignored the pleas of those who represent the authors rights like the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers then their actions would be troubling. What I don’t get is why can’t an agreement be reached that BOTH sides agreed to without the government coming in and determining whether they did a good enough job or not?

I am done with my rant. Thanks for sticking around. Please celebrate the 4th of July with a bit of reverence for the sacrifice made millions for the freedoms we still have.

Twitter Truly Mirroring the Internet
» ‎ Andy Beal's Marketing Pilgrim

Well, looks like Twitter has arrived for real. Companies are considering the service for their marketing and customer efforts. There still appears to be significant hype around every time someone at Twitter has gas. Twitter is looking to protect its trademark and is looking to trademark other sounds from nature like chirps and peeps. So what’s next? Well, since it is the Internet what would talking about Twitter be without now mentioning porn and spam?

Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has said recently that the service will be a success when people stop talking about it and just accept it as a utility. With MediaPost talking about the proliferation of porn and spam that chatter isn’t likely to end anytime soon. That is, of course, unless Twitter does something about it.

Nude and explicit photographs have become more common on Twitter. While the site has begun to gain momentum for marketing and customer service departments looking to promote products and services, or connect with customers, it has taken a bit of a dark turn into the world of spam, pornography and escort services.

Needless to say, marketers relying on the site to promote family values tied to goods and services don’t seem too thrilled by the topless photo of Mcdowell407 and the accompanying tweet that talks about how badly one boyfriend treats her. Nor do they appreciate the half-dressed women in bra, garters, stockings and stilettos who promote escort services, such as Taylor, by clicking on the “follow” tag. Twitter did not respond to requests for comment.

Other companies using Twitter to reach their audiences are feeling the same way as do those who are regular users of the service. While it may be easy to just brush this off as “The Internet is the Internet” Twitter may be called to a higher standard. eMarketer senior analyst Paul Verna says

“If Twitter builds an advertising-supported model, they will need to develop a way to isolate the content,” he says. “YouTube did. Facebook did it. They had to be tough cops when it came to the content. On the one hand, they try to provide an open platform, but on the other, if they don’t set limits it could backfire.”

Verna says getting a handle on the spam and the sexually explicit material is another thing Twitter must fix, along with the ability to authenticate celebrity accounts — something they have stumbled with during the last few months.

While I was once would have been sure that this is no surprise to Twitter I can’t say that with complete confidence anymore. It looks pretty obvious that they will not just be able to act as if it isn’t happening. The first reason for this is that the fix for the problem is not rocket science according to Amichai Shulman — CTO at Imperva, an online security company based in Israel and Redwood Shores, Calif.

“The information from the feeds is either based on IP addresses or links, and there are services on the Internet that track and send notifications about known distributors of offending material,” he says. “It would be simple for Twitter to interface with one of those services providers to filter out at least 90% of that content.”

He feels that while the Twitter community is doing good work in policing their territory the onus should fall on Twitter to make more of an effort and it shouldn’t be too much for them to take on this kind of project.

If Twitter does just turn the other beak and not take the same ‘high road’ of YouTube and Facebook it could end up hurting it’s viability as a business tool. Ben Smith, MerchantCircle CEO cuts to the chase.

“The problem with this type of activity is that it undermines the trust in the communication channel, which will have a disastrous effect on the channel.”

So Twitter has another issue to be concerned about that will get the attention of everyone. When you are as successful as they are everyone looks to see how problems like this are handled. Of course, the critics will always want more. Ask Google. Success comes with a high price. Now if they could only make money from someone for something. We’re all still watching for that trick.
