There is a superb thread getting some notice in teh SEW boards, concerning Did-it’s President, David Pasternack, and his strong comments about SEO in today’s DMNews.

John Chow examines the dominance of the Google search engine in his own sites and marketing efforts. He even quotes Nelson/NetRatings, which says “Google owns 50% of all searches”, but as you can read yourselves, on Johns’ site Google accounts for less more than 80% of all search traffic. Is Nelson/NetRating full of it, or does our sites just don’t attract other search engines?
This Google dominance extends to my other sites as well. Every other webmasters I have talked to tells me that their biggest search referrer is Google, and by a wide margin.
Google is planning to make it easier to utilize different types of ads (CPC, CPM, CPA, etc) over all media channels - search, mobile, video, audio, etc. This puts the likes of Feedburner, Meebo, edgeio and Commission Junction squarely in Google’s sights as potential acquisitions.
