Google ‘Extending the Possibilities of Search’
Google is constantly looking into new ways in which it can extend the possibilities of search, it has been said.
Speaking to Amit Singhal, one of Google’s chief engineers, the Engadget website listed some of the areas in which the company is making progress.
It told users of SEO services that the evolution of the search engine has included image and video content playing a role in page rankings, as well as the ability to translate relevant content written in other languages when queries are made.
Other functions consist of its social search function, which allows internet users to associate their Twitter account with their Google ID, meaning results will also contain content from people or companies they follow.
“When you’re looking for advice on a particular issue, your friends can pitch in without you even having to talk to them,” the website explained.
Biz Stone, one of the co-founders of Twitter, recently revealed the social networking site is handling in the region of 800 million search queries per day.

In today’s multichannel world, there are mountains of data which provide insights into how users have interacted with your business and their path to conversion (or non-conversion). It is important to understand performance with multichannel marketing, which can be achieved through attribution modelling. Attribution refers to assigning credit to something (a channel, touchpoint, etc.) for the role it played in the final conversion. An attribution model is a rule, or set of rules, that assigns this credit correctly to the right channel or touchpoint.

Why Bing is a Valuable Paid Media Platform
For a long time, Bing, the UK’s second-largest search engine, has been underappreciated and, in some instances, even ignored. Often regarded as the inferior search engine to market leader Google, Bing has historically struggled to appeal to many in the digital world. Most PPC analysts would give justified reasons for neglecting Bing for so long; these include the volume of traffic and the user experience just not matching up to Google. However, the validity of these assessments is now diminishing. Bing has grown and improved rapidly in the last couple of years; if you are not integrating it into your comprehensive digital marketing plan, you run the risk of missing out on a large portion of your chosen market and significant revenue.
