Google just acquired a new startup, this time specializing on online video platform for broadcasting both live and on-demand content to the web or any web enabled device. The startup called Episodic officially announced the acquisition . Episodic is a video publishing platform consist of six functional areas – video content management, content ingest and encoding, adaptive bitrate playback, monetization through advertising, and credit card transactions, audience measurement and analytics and syndication. Episodic spans the video value chain and offers publishers and marketers everything they need to manage, measure and monetize online video. Given those features and functionality, we could immediately deduce the reason why Google bought the startup, definitely use its technology to spruce up YouTube’s monetization aspects – something which Google failed to maximize despite its dominance in the online video market.

The Episodic team also emphasized the fact that their products and services complimented Google’s online video services. Google has not announced the acquisition yet.

It’s fair to say that most of us are running Google Analytics on at least a few of the sites we deal with. Market share for Google’s traffic tracking platform was estimated last year around 75-80% in a few separate studies – here’s one from Ghostery . Let’s not get into the whole “Google knows too much” thing. The truth is, the platform is a pretty solid and user-friendly. (Even if it is the lure of an evil empire.) But from an SEO standpoint Google ANalytics definitely leaves some things to be desired. Luckily there are plenty of clever SEOs out there who take on complicated and difficult projects that make our lives easier.

Penalties, Bans, and Paid Search

There are numerous posts on PPC vs SEO , who gets more money, and all that mumbo jumbo. To me, it’s right up there with “SEO is dead” type posts, good for attention, but there should not be any versus in that relationship. (Note: Most of the more recent posts point out that both are beneficial) The two have more in common than both sides would care to admit sometimes. One thing that they do have in common is the infamous and often feared Google ban/penalty. Yes, if you haven’t heard yet, you can get penalties and banned from AdWords. The new Quality Score system has penalties built in that reflect in your quality score for a keyword. The lower your quality score, the more potential there is for higher costs and lower placements. That is the equivalent of a sudden drop in rankings. When it comes to bans, it is actually harder to return from a ban in AdWords than being de-indexed on the organic side. This could change but for now if your account is banned, you cannot just make a new one, and there is no form to ask for re-inclusion after the issues are fixed. There are ways around this of course , but just like making a new website, on a new domain, on a new host using new information and all, it takes time to get the historical wonderfulness that might have existed before. There has been nothing “official” on the AdWords Blog that I can see, but a WebmasterWorld thread did feature a response from AdWords Advisor – a long time Google AdWords employee and generally helpful person to the forum members at WebmasterWorld. The AdWords team acknowledged that bans were being put in place for those advertisers that were seemingly deceiving the end user. How to Not Get Banned in

Good credit is more essential these days than ever before amidst the current credit crisis we are now facing. Managing your credit and ensuring the accuracy of your credit report is not chore you should take lightly or wait until the last minute to improve on.  In fact, if it isn’t already, monitoring and managing your credit rating will be as important a task as managing your identity or balancing your checkbook.

It is important to note that your credit score is your financial report card and you are responsible for managing it. With the credit crackdown and the lack of liquidity in the financial markets, it is more important than ever that you have a good or in some cases a great credit score or you won’t get a loan either for a car, a home, or for any other needs you may have.

When you visit Viable Credit Repair, you can get help for improving your credit score.  Many people who have poor credit scores do not realize that the burden of proof is on the collection agency or the financial institution that reported the item to the credit bureau.  This is why you will often see differences in the reports from the three main reporting agencies - TransUnion, Experian and Equifax.  As a result, many people have undocumented or erroneous items on their credit report that need to be disputed.

Your credit repair specialist should be able to help you repair your damaged credit score, dispute items that are negatively affecting your credit score and get your credit score on the right track so you can negotiate a reasonable interest rate for either a car or home loan.

While many credit repair services offer quote or unquote similar services, the majority of their strategies are neither effective, nor consistent enough to help you improve your credit score.  However, Viable Credit Repair know show to legally remove negative items from off your credit report in ways that are proven and with the proper frequency so as to keep disputing items which may reappear even after they have been removed from your credit report.

The credit crisis is real and it is global. Bank and lending institutions are tightening their lending requirements.  Moving forward it is becoming increasingly evident that banks will not lend to you if you have a poor credit score, or if you happen to qualify for a loan with a low credit score either you will pay a higher interest rate for the loan or you will have to come to the table with a hefty down payment or both.

The time to act is now, while the errors and unsubstantiated items on your credit report can be removed.  A bad credit score can stop you from buying a home, a car and even obtaining a credit card.  Worse yet, as just previously mentioned, a bad credit score can increase your interest rates and your payments while potentially siphoning hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year from your household budget - money that can have been used toward a family vacation or your child's education.
