“I thought you’d be taller”

From: google.com

The chances that you and your brand will first be encountered digitally grow every day.

The only question is what sort of reputation and anticipation you create before they actually encounter you in real life. I think it’s a conscious choice.

Google Local Search Gets A Bit Confusing

From: google.com



I found this rather interesting bug over at Google today.

When doing a search for Victoria BC Lawyer, in the Local Business results I found that only one of the seven results were actually for law offices! The remaining 6 were for doctors as well as a government publishing office.

One would think that Google has been doing this long enough to not make such a big error “ 1 out of 7 results relevant to the search?  Thats pretty poor if you ask me.

Google Gets A Special Visit From Conan O’Brian

From: google.com



Hat Tip to Andy Beal on pointing our direction to this hilarious video of Conan O’Brien’s visit to the Googleplex. Apparently Conan has been making his rounds in the tech space - as he was at Twitter/Intel a couple of weeks ago.

Sabotage!

From: google.com

Just about all sabotage is self-sabotage.

We don’t get forced to eat that cookie, we choose to. And so the diet is ended.

Marketing self-sabotage is fascinating to watch and understand. Consider the college application: it’s primarily an opportunity for teenagers who aren’t sure of where they want to go to undercut their chances by exposing their uncertainty. The lizard brain, the voice in the back of the head that wants security and safety--it’s not eager to go to a college that might be ‘too hard’ or ‘too good’. The easy thing to do is to scale back the effort, not do what works, but do what feels right instead.

Or consider the way we resist opportunities to lead, to connect, to do work that matters. We don’t resist because we’re not capable of it… we resist because if our marketing fails, if we don’t get the job or earn the trust, then we’re off the hook. No promises made, which means no promises to keep.

We know more than enough about marketing now. We know how to craft a story that will spread, we know how to find and lead tribes. The thing we have trouble with is making the commitment to do it even when it’s frightening and difficult.

Google Tests New Background Ad Colors

From: google.com



Over the past couple of weeks Google have been testing new background colours for their Adwords ads again. Google changed from their usual blue background to a yellow back in 2007 which is what we see predominantly today in the SERPs.

Now it looks like testing time again, I am connecting to a DC with a pink/purple shade background -

Pink AdWords advert

And also a much much brighter quite striking shade of blue -

Blue AdWords advert

Are you seeing any other colours?

Google Announces Their New Click To Call Ads

From: google.com



Google just announced their new Click to Call ads. Which seem to really make me think about this recent hilarious video created by The Onion. The 911 call using the Google phone is fantastic stuff.
