Well, they said they were working on it, and finally it’s here. Google plus has come up with Business Pages, a similar concept to its arch rival facebook fan pages. Announced on Monday, now you can add your favourite brands to your circle. This gives business a chance to interact directly with the consumers and engage them with announcements, contests and more. Every business can claim their page on Google plus, whether it’s a small business or international brand, they can manage their social identity through business page.

Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. We are pushing the limits of our technology and infrastructure to help you get better search results, faster. Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type.

I have been hearing complains of traffic loss from some of the friends and clients since last month. At first sight it looked like normal client ranting, but this time they were right. Some of the clients had lost significant amount of traffic and that too Google organic traffic suddenly. This sudden website traffic drop happened at the end of April, 2010. I am going to explain this with live case study of one of my client. Client has an ecommerce store in the hospitality industry.

It was a wonderful experience organizing Web Analytics Wednesday in Ahmedabad. It was simply mind blowing and amazing to present in front of such a wonderful and huge crowd. The support from industry friends and experts was something very unexpected but nice to have. Its simply the first step towards the glory and success of Team IMJ. I feel like IMJ (Internet Marketing Journal) is a baby of Jaydip, Dipali and me; and its growing slowly but steadily.
