Tech Meets Turkey-Day: Searches Yield Better Insights

During most of the year, web analytics focused on the food industry - including dining, cooking and grocery shopping - reveal fairly stable trends that tend to occur over long periods of time. Thanksgiving season in the US, however, is a clear exception. During this unique period, marketers have the once-a-year opportunity to use the web as a barometer for Americans' food tastes, as well as their eating and cooking habits. They can also see the extent to which consumers are turning online   [...]

Online Recipe Sites See Pre-Thanksgiving Surge

Online recipe and cooking sites are hot commodities right now and - if last year's stats are any indication - are not likely to see any decrease in traffic before the end of the year. In 2008, the first and highest peak in visits to these sites took place on the days before Christmas and Thanksgiving - the second happened three to four days prior to the holidays, according to Heather Dougherty, research director at Hitwise, who   [...]

comScore Puts Page-Load Time Under Microscope

Page load time, a do-or-die website-performance issue 10 years ago, is still enough of a concern today that Google is now under pressure to introduce a ranking factor into its algorithm to account for how fast a site or page loads, Search Engine Land reports. The issue particularly resonates with web publishers that hope to benchmark their site performance and measure how they stack up against their competi  [...]

Android Ads Get Boost from Admob Deal

Google's just-announced $750 million acquisition of AdMob has several important implications for mobile marketers. First, it will help consolidate the mobile ad space, which is currently fragmented and populated with smaller players. Second, it will almost certainly increase overall availability in the now-tiny mobile ad market, while at the same time giving a huge boost to inventory specifically aimed at the Android platform. While Google itself points out that mobile ads currently make u  [...]

Digital Kids' Books Show Robust Growth

Booksellers and content providers are focusing more attention on a specialty niche that is showing robust growth: digital books for children and teens.

Toshiba Takes Online Contests, Humor to ESPN

Online contests and humor are a significant part of Toshiba's new multi-platform ad and sponsorship campaign, which is slated to run on ESPN and ABC next year.

Facebook Revamps Privacy Policy; Asks for Feedback

Facebook has tweaked its privacy policy and is asking its 300-million-plus user base for feedback by Nov. 5th.

The free app, which is called "Real Racing GTI," puts players on the fictional Mayapan Beach racetrack, and is tied to a contest in which, the New York Times   [...]

FCC To Take First Crack at Neutrality Rules

As expected, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) yesterday voted to begin the rule-making process that will move the US toward network neutrality - a major shift from its earlier 'hands off' policy on web regulation. The theory behind this principle is that as the number of broadband providers grow smaller and more concentrated, these players will favor access to their own products and services - a deep concern to Web 2.0 companies that offer competing offerings.
