Google Will Accept Third-Party Ads on Its Content Network

December 16, 2022 By Andrew G. R.

Break in case of a Microsoft/Yahoo deal!

In order to cover their bases, Google has announced  that they are opening their massive content network to all ad buyers.  Basically, third-party ads will be accepted.

The move should please both advertisers and publishers alike, allowing them to better understand the value of their inventory and increase everyone’s revenue.

From Google:

“Today, we’re announcing that Google is accepting third-party advertising tags on the Google content network in North America. This will empower advertisers to work with approved third parties to serve and track display ads, including rich media ads, across the Google content network through AdWords, giving them more options, flexibility and control over their campaigns.”

Sounds like good news for everyone, except Microsoft and Yahoo.

“Simple is better” not applicable to Google Korea

December 5, 2022 By Leo Blanco

google-korea.gifApparently, Google’s popular “simple is better” Web search engine design is not effective in South Korea. Given this scenario, Google Korea will adopt a multi-column and graphic-rich style to be more marketable. In short, it will go ala Yahoo!

Just like Baidu.com in China, Google have a hard time competing with local search engines such as Naver.com and Daum.net. Even its video-sharing giant YouTube is behind the local players.

The search engine giant must be desperate for it is rather rare for them to move away from its global strategy. Still, Google’s International Project Manager Jung Ki-hyun this new design is not a “Korea-only project” and there are plans to implement this system to other language versions.
