During the recent Google press event in Paris, YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen announced the launch of YouTube in 9 new markets/languages, these include Brazil, France, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Ireland, and the UK.
The launch of Youtube in these 9 new markets is part of Google’s strategy to begin delivering ads targeted at specific geolocation and markets.
I find it interesting that they’ve decided not to alter the logo to incorporate the various translations of “Broadcast Yourself”, instead they opted to include it only when you hover over the image.
So much for globalisation!
Watch Chad and Steve’s official Google Press Day announcement in Paris (includes a presentation on the background of YouTube):
Microsoft has begun upgrading its adCenter system to incorporate adCneter content ads. Previously if you were to advertise through Microsoft’s Adcenter program, your ads would only show on Microsoft’s Live Search results pages. With this new upgrade, advertisers will automatically be included into the content network (currently only Microsoft’s content pages)
Advertisers who want to opt out of the content network will have to fill out an optout form otherwise advertisers have the following three options that will help them manage their ads on the Microsoft’s content network:
In yet another direct attack on Microsoft’s core business, Google has acquired the assets of Zenter, a company that specialised in a providing software for creating online slide presentations. This is the latest addition to the ever growing segement of Google’s empire, Google Docs and SpreadSheets.
The price wasn’t disclosed by Google but I’m sure we can all guess the ball park figure ($$,$$$,$$$).
I must say, I’m a bit perplexed by the mixed signals we’re getting from the big G these day. I mean on the one hand, CEO Eric Schmidt openly says that Google is not competing with Microsoft, actually, this is his exact words in a recent press conference in Paris:
“We keep saying we are not doing that and no-one believes me. We don’t position them as competitive–it is a sharing paradigm,”
And on the other hand, we hear news like this. So what is it Eric, are you or aren’t you competing with Microsoft? Actually, don’t answer that, we all know you are so best of luck taking on MS Office. Although, I’ll have you know, I won’t be replacing my favourite slide presentation application anytime soon, sorry mate.
Google has expanded its Pay-Per-Action model for Google Adwords. Starting today, Google Adwords advertisers -with more than 500 conversions from their pay-per-click and pay-per-impression based campaigns in the past 30 days- will see an alert in their Adwords admin panel informing them that they are able to start creating pay per action campaigns.
The Pay-Per-Action pricing model was initially launched in March 2007 with positive feedback from participating ppa advertisers.
What is Pay Per Action?
Pay-Per-Action (PPA) is a pricing model that allows advertisers to pay only when a pre-defined action is completed on their site, examples of actions include:
What are the benefits of PPA?
The main benefit of PPA is that advertisers only pay when a potential customer performs an action as opposed to the traditional model of advertising on the internet -Pay Per Click or PPC - where advertisers agree to pay when someone clicks on their adverts (either on Google’search result pages or on content sites that carry Google adverts.)
