    Aren't you the same people that recently silently shoved Google Updater spyware/vampireware down every person's throat who hoped to use one of your applications?

    OR, are you the folks who once said "Don't be evil?"

    Hmmmm?

    Perhaps you could answer a minor concern I have about this service. In general, I think it's great, but I saw that Fox reported, "let’s say you search ‘bakery products,’ then Betty Crocker ads start popping up on your screen." (http://www.newsy.com/videos/google_ad_change_raises_questions/)

    What I'm asking is, will this signal Google's entry into pop-up ads, or was that a mistake on Fox's part?

    Interesting!

    In the past, offline media was one of the major mediums to promote one’s business and brand awareness. However, with the increasing popularity of the online media and its positive results, more people are turning to online marketing techniques to build a strong business presence across the globe. There are several online marketing strategies we can use for our Internet marketing solutions, but SEO (search engine optimization) today has taken a stance much ahead of any other technique.

    SEO brings with it tremendous scope for business improvement with improved keyword positioning, improved ranking and overall increase in the ROI and cuts down on the PPC cost extensively in the long run. This is a proven marketing solution if done the right way using the right techniques based on your website requirements.

    I thought this information would be helpful for those who wish to promote their website and get great results.

    Please explain why users have to opt out, instead op opting in. Is it only because you are afraid you'll have nu user base left?
