Comment On Ashley's Blog

Just wanted to let you know i have commented on ashleys blog.

Here is the comment:

Hey its joey from your group. I was reading the article you have been editing. It sounds like a pretty cool place. I am pretty sure that I have stoped in that town before to get gas.

Pay-per-action beta test

This article is pretty cool. It talks about a new way of trying to control click fraud. The way this program works is different levels of involvement from the user can generate more money. an example he article gives is say a user just fills out a survey that would be worth x amount of dollars. If a click leads to a sale it would be worth more. The name of this type of program is called conversation tracking. Conversation tracking is set up by Google AdWords. I think this is a pretty cool invention that will defiantly help combat click fraud.

Google pardons BMW website

This article is pretty crazy. It's pretty wild to think that google has people watching the internet that closley. I think what is really amazing is how fat BMW fixed the problem. I wonder how many visitors they lost durring their time on the the Black Lsit?

Google vs. Viacom

I figured this would be a good topic to talk about in a blog post. This is a very controversial topic! I can see valid points for both sides. Google the company is clearly not purposely violating the law. Their goal is not to steal people copyrighted work. They just provide a service that happens to be very popular. It is kind of similar to the Napster situation a few years ago. Napter wasn't uploading all of its content the public was. But when you look at it from the other side Viacom is losing money because people get to see their material for free. It's not fair to the people who made this material or for the people who own the rights to the material. It's a double edge sword. In the future i can see youtube being a site that users will have to pay money to be a part of. The is probably going to be the only win-win situation.

Vanity Search on Google

We were instructed to blog a vanity search of ourselves for this class so here is mine. There used to more stuff about the band i am in. As a matter of fact my band website used to come up. www.chowderfoot.com But i am not sure why it doesn't any more. Oh well.

Thanks,

My Second Wiki edit

I just made my second Wikipedia edit. I created an article on the place that i work at home. The Place i work is called Seaford Music. It is a mom and pop style music store. This is my first edit to the page and it was done just to get the article rolling. There is a couple of errors but its early in the morning i will fix them tomorrow. There will be many edits to follow. The edit can be seen here.

The edit verbatim is as follows:

My First Wiki Edit

I just made my first Wikipedia edit. The article I chose to edit is on Seaford Delaware, wich is my home town. decided to make an edit on the Today page. I added that Seaford has been nationally recognized and in 2005 Relocated America named it one of the top 100 places to live. You can see my edit here.

Edit verbadum is as follows.

• It is no secret that Seaford is an excellent place to live. In fact the town has even received national recognition for it. In 2005 Seaford was featured in Relocate-America's Top 100 Places to Live.

Class so far

After attending class for the first couple of weeks I realize that blogs have become an important part of today's business environment. At first it doesn't seem like one person can have a major impact in today's marketing world but through the use of blogs a single individual can create an information portal that is viewed my hundreds or even thousands. I am excited to see how we as marketing majors can do this.

Intro Post

Sorry for the late post. Outside of class I am in a band that plays music all over Delaware. THe name of the band is Chowder Foot. If you want to find out about Chowder Foot you can check us out on the web.
