Google the NEW Microsoft?!

Bill Gates did to Steve Jobs what Google is doing to Bill Gates

From hardware to software to open source (social) applications.

My how times have changed!

Remember the first Macintosh’s? Apple computers in the past were known for their cutting edge technology, in act they are today but with a few differences. What made Bill Gates his money was his ability to transfer easy usability of a Mac to ANY computer. By then it was no longer about the computer but the software on it. Today it is not about the software but the virtual software or applications. You can do the same thing on any computer on your Google apps, and documents that you can do from a Excel, or Word spreadsheets. The power that Google shares with Microsoft is its distribution capabilities.

Google stands apart from Microsoft however because of their ability to virtually reproduce their product/service at any volume with little or no cost. And in turn for the most part provide at little or no cost. I look forward to someone doing a movie about the search engine battle. Or the war on Open Social.

3 Things You Never Knew about Google, SEO and Marketing

Google:is run by people . Well duh right? What I am saying is that per my conference with a former Google employee he let me know that in addition to their robot webcrawler Google has PEOPLE personally inspecting each site. There are (3) reasons this means something to you.

  1. Real humans mean real attention. The more content you generate the better.
  2. Higher rankings. They are paying more attention to your links than you think.
  3. Faster and more often crawls of your website. If they are discovering you are generating a lot of content they can add you to a higher crawl rate.

SEO: techniques are everywhere. But here are my (3) favorite.

  1. Content content content. Create a ton of it and many links.
  2. Links: the more higher ranked sites are linked to you the greater chances of your ranking.
  3. Sign people up for emails and find out where they heard about you.

Marketing Techniques: are everywhere here are my (3) favorite sites.

  1. Seth Godin: Seth is more of a marketing philosopher.
  2. Chris Anderson: He is the author of The Long Tail theory. Read and learn.
  3. Tech Crunch they are the tech gurus of tools and sites. they can definetly keep you informed o any new technology.
