In March, Google acquired "Performics", a part of double click and now had divested this to Publicis Groupe, a good friend of google. Is this a conflict of interest you ask? Of course it is because Performics as a part of their work advises clients of ways to maximize themselves and be more visible on google. WOW!

In terms of revenue, Performics is the 5th largest search agency, but is still wants to have a stronger hold on all of its digital offerings. This is move is meant to help its media-buying agencies the ability to offer more clients a wider scale for digital ad placements. The company has begin to work on ad-exchange strategies, and train its staff better in digital technologies to keep them more up to date, has it helped? Does their staff have training in the need for a viable web design. One with a good ranking that is constantly worked on by an experienced computer-consulting firm.

They would like to develop a simple means of how companies can purchase Web and mobile ads. Again keep in mind these ads are of no value if the landing page is not a part of a well designed website with easy navigation. Internet giants such as Google, Yahoo, AOL and Microsoft are all a part of this.

Owning Performics had put Google in a very uncomfortable position because providing search engine marketing (SEM) and search engine optimization (SEO) services is like a conflict of interest. SEO and SEM firms, have the main goal of improving Web sites' search-engine rankings and running effective search-engine ad campaigns. Google had no comment on this happening.

Have any good business ideas? Do you think you can solve a world problem? Google the giant search engine does it again. They are now hosting a contest where you can post your idea to win a prize. They are looking to investing 10 million in implementing these projects. Their goal is to help people with improvements in community, energy, environment, health, education and other areas. Perhaps they will make a few dollars off their investments as well. You can submit your idea to Project 10100 here.

Google is now entering the cell phone market. They just introduced the GPhone. The phone is expected to go on sale later this year in United States. They are going head to head with Apple's Iphone. The phone is expected to carry very similar features of all smartphones.

The Justice Department is determining whether it should file anti-trust charges against the Internet giant for it's Internet advertising. This was brought about by the said deal that Google ads would be appearing on Yahoo. Googlr and Yahoo claim that their deal does not violate and antitrust laws. Let's see what happens. It didn't happen for Microsoft and it may not happen for Google.
