How Does Google Make the Big Bucks? An Infographic Answer | Epicenter | Wired.com.
Google is now making $3 billion a month in advertising — the majority of which comes from little text ads next to search results.
You might wonder how that’s possible, and who’s spending that much money on search ads.
The answer, according to Larry Kim — the founder of a company that sells software to analyze text ad campaigns — is in industries where a customer is worth a lot of money over the long-term.
It’s not only about Twitter for Bit.ly traffic source 🙂 One link created with Bit.ly might have several lives, in fact 🙂
Lately there’s been a lot of discussion of the relevance of referrers as a way of discovering the source of traffic to a site. At bitly, we see billions of clicks per month on across multiple platforms, instant messages, emails and mobile text messages. This gives us a unique window onto the way people share social objects, and we see how they propagate through human networks and across the various social networks.
Facebook now allows Page administrators to send their friends invites to Like their Page that appear as notifications, opening a new viral channel that could assist Page growth. Because these invites generate Facebook and email notifications, they are much more noticeable and could have a higher conversion rate than the Page suggestions admins could previously send that appeared in the “Recommended Pages” sidebar module that would occasionally appear. However, accepting an invite requires users to click through to a Page.

On his Quora page, The Times‘ Jim Schachter explains how the idea came about:
About six weeks ago, my New York Times colleague Aron Pilhofer and I visited Quora to brainstorm with Charlie Cheever and Marc Bodnick about how our organizations might work together.

What would a United States map look like if it was drawn by social networks instead of state boundaries? A collaboration between ATT and MIT seeks to find out.MIT Senseable City Lab, armed with anonymized mobile phone call and SMS data from ATT, has set out to chart what the US looks like when you map out social communities instead of geographical communities. Watch the video above to see a nice visual teaser for the project and then hit up the link below to play around with interactive maps that can show you, among other things, which counties around the country the people in your home county spend the most time talking to. When we tested it we found that Detroiters spend a huge chunk of their time talking to people in Southern Florida and Southern California–snowbird friends and relatives perhaps?
What if you could turn your boring press package or report into an interactive online / offline / app flipbook?
Maybe an idea to keep in mind for future presentations or to impress clients 🙂
