Google grabs 66.4% of web searches in May
As iTitans continues to focus on providing the best possible search engine optimization for our clients, it’s crucial to note that Google continues to be the dominant search engine choice among web surfers. According to comScore, Google had 66.4% of web searches during May, with Yahoo at 16.6% and Microsoft’s Bing at 10.8%. With Google hoarding two-thirds of search engine traffic, iTitans suggests a continued SEO focus on Google. Yahoo and Bing cannot be ignored — after all, they have most of the remaining one-third traffic. But a company’s search engine optimization strategy has to zero in on Google first, with secondary efforts pointed toward its two main competitors.
Those two competitors, as has been reported for months, will be joining forces sometime in late 2010 or early 2011 as they attempt to take down the Google behemoth. At that time, Bing will be powering Yahoo’s backend search, with Yahoo’s American publishers and advertisers on Microsoft’s AdCenter structure as well.

75% of us research online before shopping in stores; more…
The internet has forever changed our shopping habits. In the old days, people would flock to the mall and do their product research there: they’d see an item on the shelf, pick it up, read the label, and learn what the item (promised it) could do.
Those days are increasingly over…
Deloitte commissioned a survey of 1052 consumers in early May about their thoughts on the economy, their spending habits, and usage of mobile and web platforms to enhance their shopping experiences. A few points jumped out at us.
The survey found that 33% of consumers are shopping more online than they did a year ago. Even more significant to us is that 75% of shoppers now research online to check out store, product and pricing information before or during their in-store shopping.
Additionally, “half of consumers say that an online product review has influenced their decision to buy a product (51 percent) – or to not buy a product (50 percent).”

When it comes to SEO speed is important.
Web designers and savvy website owners alike are always trying to decipher what methods are best to use in order to get a site ranking highly with Google’s search engine. Well, now there’s another element being added to the mix. On April 9, 2010 Google announced the following:
You may have heard that here at Google we’re obsessed with speed, in our products and on the web. As part of that effort, today we’re including a new signal in our search ranking algorithms: site speed. Site speed reflects how quickly a website responds to web requests.
Obviously, faster sites mean happier web visitors. It’s good to see that Google is taking this factor into consideration now. The release did go on to indicate that site speed “doesn’t carry as much weight as the relevance of a page” but this is certainly a development that we’ll be keeping our eye on.

An advergame for kitty litter; now we have seen everything
While on the search for new and interesting games I came across this one – Scoop Away Bejeweled. I know advergames are really catching on but I have to admit I was a little surprised to see this particular product with a game. It just goes to emphasize my previous rattlings that advertisers have found the game market to be a vital target to promote products.
The Importance of Developing Networks
I have read through the following article a few times now and found it extremely enlightening. The concept of developing a network of content that is updated by others yet benefits you as well as them is astonishing. This is certainly the model of the future when it comes to internet marketing, and gaining traffic.
Glam: The success of the network « BuzzMachine – I have been arguing for as long as anyone would listen that the future of media is less about products and more about networks. It’s so nice to be proven right. Recently, Samir Arora, CEO of Glam, visited to talk about his success story …

Our Web site is undergoing an overhaul.
Yes it is about that time of year to once again think we can improve the site. We will be launching a sister html site to the current Flash based website. Though we are happy with the current site, we have again branched out offering new services and with Apple refusing to allow Flash on the iPad or iPhone it is about time to revamp everything. You may notice sections come and go until everything is in order. I expect we are going to add quite a bit more to the site in general over the next few months, and then continue to build upon it to not only offer Professional web services, but to create a gathering ground of ideas and assets for our visitors.
