Google conversational search

Google conversational search In the coming days Google is rolling out something new: Conversational Search , an innovative functional addition to Google Search which allows users on all devices (including desktop, tablet and smartphone) to engage in ask and answer sessions with Google Search. This new service is however limited to Google browsers only (read Chrome ). And example of a conversational search would be: "Where can I find a train station in Rotterdam South" upon which Google gives you one or more answers.

SmartScreen has therefor been created to form a gateway between the received links in Wind...

Facebook Sponsored Search In February Facebook started testing-out a Sponsored Search , a new advertising structure that works  quite similar to traditional Facebook ads as they can leverage demographics, location, connections and interests/likes, but expresses itself in a different way. We have launched a feature that surfaces sponsored results along with the organic results when people are looking for things on Facebook. We try to show people apps and pages they’ll be most interested in. Sponsored Search advertisements are only offered on CPC (cost-per-click) basis, not on keyword level, meaning that if advertisers wish to show up for the search term “Search engine marketing” they would target the advertisement to show to those that like similar Pages or Apps. Advertisers can target specific search entities that they’d like to show up against, including Pages, Places, and Apps. In addition to entity targeting, advertisers can further filter their ads based on demographics, locati...
