Stats, Scams and Suspects
Marketing Pilgrim and Search Engine Watch give us some interesting statistics this week, reporting that paid search is up 12% for the fourth quarter of 2008 and that 77% of U.S. internet audience views online videos. We also get some good information regarding the four main groups to be wary of when it comes to click fraud, and Sage delivers a somewhat scathing report on what he calls Yahoo's "get rich quick" scam.

Flash, the iPhone and Facebook Format Followers
Marketing Pilgrim gives us some good information this week regarding mobile phones and Motrin. First, we learn how detrimental all Flash websites are to iPhone users, who only see a blank page when they try and visit a flash site. Second, Sage talks about the mommy blogger outrage over the edgy Motrin YoutTube commercial. Are YouTube and LinkedIn following Facebook's lead? Now on YouTube, you will now see and can buy PPC ads, and LinkedIn has added demographic-specific Events to user's profiles in a similar fashion. Lastly, check out WebPro News for a detailed translation of a live chat Q&A with Google.
Can’t Win For Losing
There's some bad news but good tools in the news this week. Yahoo "can't win for losing" as Google terminates its advertising partnership with them and Yahoo shares drop significantly. While Google and Yahoo part ways, Yellowbook and YouTube join forces to distribute SMB videos. Wordtracker announces a new tool that anticipates the questions people are clicking on while searching based off keywords. Also, according to Search Engine Watch, the number of small businesses using social media is expected to double from 300K to 600K in the next twelve months.
