Google: Improving Search Results with Recommendations
On June 1st Google went social with Google +1, which allows you to share your favorite links and websites with your friends as company executives are still trying to make Google more social.
This is Google’s version of Facebook’s “like”, a simple function that’s very powerful because it’s part of a social network.
Today, nearly 40% of U.S. subscribers regularly access the internet on their mobile phones.
By 2013, Google predicts mobile web traffic will surpass PC web traffic. Less expensive than PCs, laptops and tablets, mobile phones are incredibly pervasive worldwide. Before long, your mobile website or landing pages will attract more daily visitors and generate more sales than your desktop site.
The Lunarpages “cool factor” just increased dramatically because we actually discovered that we host MC Frontalot! He is described as the founder of the movement now known as nerdcore. Nerdcore Hip Hop is a growing sub-genre of hip hop where geeks donning pocket protectors bust rhymes about geeky subjects.
Thank you for your tremendous efforts in promoting Lunarpages! Our first affiliate giveaways have concluded and we will be announcing the winners for the 2 x $500 Apple gift cards and the 5 x $100 American Express gift cards, the first week of July. We value your feedback and we have created a short survey.
