NBC Universal joined forces with News Corp to create the largest reservoir of reprocessed TV archives online. The two companies combined represent almost 70 percent of all media in the English-speaking world. Hulu website is a treasure trove of old nostalgia and insight into what’s new all at the same time. In the beginning months the traffic soared as the two media monsters promoted the site on their terrestrial television and printed media outlets. They created a bevy of affiliate sites to spread the same content and name faster. It grew fast, specially with the new TV season taking its first bow online at Hulu. Now, after several months, the traffic has dropped precipitously (30 percent!) as the novelty and audience dwindle. Their hopes on long tail content, that is deep content that will continue to rake in search returns, is not keeping their Hulu dance.

Yahoo Defends Google Deal With Manipulated Pages
Yahoo tries to preempt government investigations into Google/Yahoo advertising deal with manipulated advertising returnsYahoo held a three day press conference in Washington last week to defend its joining in the Google adsense network. At risk here is creating a search advertising monopoly that grants Google 80 percent of the online advertising for search returns. Google is being evil and Yahoo is desperate for those Adsense revenues.

Domain Auctions French Out Value Italians Can This Happen?
Italian.net cheaper than French.net
Now it may get personal
A quick look today brought me to the sale of Italian.net on Sedo. Unbelievable that Italian.net is going for a mere 1600 euro, about $2000. How can the big families in Italian and New York allow such a travesty? The domain French.net fetched around $25,000 a couple months ago and to watch the Italians valued at 1/10 the French? Well that is just not tolerable. Nothing says Italian like Italian.net.
We expect some self-respected member of the Italian community in New York or Chicago might pick up on this bargain and make sure the Italian.net gets its vig and show some respect.
This should be a great auction and we are waiting to see who gets to develop this gem of a property.
Check out the auction as it proceeds and save the name of Italy!

Palm Reader never Sold but Google Banned It?
We thought our buddies at Palm Reader would have seen the future but Google gagged them at the gate.
Seems the site was banned for no one knows but speculation abounds around their latest set of horoscope compatibility charts for Obama and Hillary! Makes for nice reading but we think the heavy hand of Google has just hammered another great domain by giving spam for the search instead of the actual site. Bad bad boys! Evil!
A quick look at MSN and Live shows the real results can be had on a real search engine and a look at Yahoo for palmreader.com gives the proper results at the top and the MFA (made for adsense) google sites after it.
Looks like Google did not like to lose the site to Yahoo ad network? What kind of screw got loose there?

Microsoft May End Google's Monopoly
Some people have asked our thoughts about the recent Microsoft buyout offer for the Yahoo! search and brand. While it may be a bit sordid to think that a software company that borders the line of a monopoly now stretches into a new advertising search farm approach like Google we think this might open competition. Google’s veritable stranglehold on search advertising is a monopoly and its “don’t be evil” attitude just has never taken hold for the company. Payback may be webmasters payday and an advertiser heyday.
Google is a monopolistic advertising link farm, the largest, whose fascist like policies against websites veils the fact that it offers no more than a homogenous mix of fabricated web sites with Google advertising that exist solely for Google’s adsense in the vast majority of search results.
Google’s lack of programming skills or investment in it is played off against the webmasters with rules and penalties for jamming a system fraught with failures. Rather than program properly Google chooses to browbeat its large farm of webs with ranking in its search as the prize. A case in point is the inability to implement real video search. Google’s answer is to demand properly laid out xml scripts of the video contents so it is “searchable.” Therefore they will add “video search” as a capability? With the possibilities of word stuffing and fraud in such an idea Google will spend its time and money ferreting out the good, the bad and the outright ugly. Why not program a real video search?
If you try to get ahead you are banned. If you make a mistake you are exiled forever. Content is specified in its character and presentation and even keywords are suggested through Google’s Webmaster tools. The only way they can work is using secrecy with both advertisers and publishers. Charging one a secret sum to the advertiser and cutting a slice of profit to the publisher, but no one knows what percent might be except the Googlebot.
Google puts blind paid links on websites. Links you have no control over are put on your site and I have seen the same mortgage, loan, and garbage links on music sites, clown makeup on political sites, and retirement homes on film sites. Google penalizes web sites who sell links from their competition. Doesn’t that reek of monopoly?
There are many agents who middle links to websites where you CHOOSE whom you link with and communicate direct if you want. You set the price and the buyer agrees. You know what the link is and you put it on your site. You know what you earn and the commission you pay.
Who is really selling a pig in a poke?
Google is a monopoly. Anyone with 80 percent of the market (like MS for software) is a monopoly and Google is no different. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Who else is up for making competition? Go MICROSOFT!
