Google Supports schema.org Markup for Organization Logos
Earlier this week Google announced that they will be supporting schema.org markup for organization logos. In the midst of all the Google I/O hubbub this kind of announcement can seem minor but if there is a way to get an edge in a search result that is not so minor now, is it? The Official [...]
Google’s AdWords Express Gets a Makeover
Google’s AdWords Express which is designed to help small businesses take advantage of paid search by literally doing the heavy lifting for them through placement of ads on behalf of the advertiser, got a facelift of sorts. Google is on a push to make things more beautiful and efficient. I get it in theory but [...]
Content Marketing is a Hit! [Infograhic]

Look at this example from the History of Content Marketing Infographic. More recent examples include a safe driving book from Michelin Tires which was [...]
Have a Conversation with Your Computer: The New Google Search
It’s Day Two of the Google I/O developers conference in San Francisco and the new features and ideas just keep on coming. Look at this photo from the first day. It’s like Comic-Con! But I must ask, where are the women? Surely there are at least a few females in the developer trade? Gender issues [...]
Google+ Updates from Google I/O
The news was flying fast and furious out of the Google I/O event yesterday. If you missed Matt McGee’s live blogging you missed more than a few chuckles but hey, that’s the way the Google Glass crumbles (yup, that was awful). As we often do here at Marketing Pilgrim, we will turn over some of [...]
[Infographic] In a Mobile World Customer Reviews Matter More Than Ever Before

Google’s New Map App Could Be a Win for You or Your Competitor
This morning, Google posed a question: “What if we told you that during your lifetime, Google could create millions of custom maps…each one just for you?” You’d say, “Of course you can! You’re Google!” We’ve sipped the Kool-Aid and it tastes good. Introducing (insert fanfare here) the new Google Maps!! This nifty number isn’t just [...]
Pinterest Adds Duplicate Warnings on Site and Search Features on Mobile
Want to know something Pinteresting? America’s favorite image pinning site just added a bunch of new features on the web and on the mobile app! Okay, I can’t take credit for the whole “pinteresting” usage, but it’s cute, it works, so let’s run with it... straight to the website. This is Pinterest’s new [...]
Square Stand Making Payments Easier and Cooler for Merchants
Square is a revolution in the way that merchants of all sizes (but especially the smaller ones) take payments for their products and services. Even in the little town I live in I can count several ‘main street’ merchants using the Square system to make their payment processing direct and easy. You pay on what [...]

Our friends at PPC Associates have put together an infographic to hopefully clear up the age old (as in the social media age) question about the importance of recommendations in the purchase process. We don’t know for sure but we sure do ‘like’ this infographic and we hope you do as well.
ABC Reveals Plan for Unified Advertising Across All Platforms
ABC just completed their 2013-2014 TV Upfront presentation. They did it with their usual dose of self-deprecating humor and lots of jabs at the other networks. Their new season is full of crazy comedies and high-concept fantasy shows such as Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (Is Alice mentally ill), Resurrection (a boy returns from [...]
The Line is Blurred Between Work and Home, But Workers Still Say Email is a Blessing
I respond to almost as much business email at 10 in the morning as I do at 10 at night. I always assumed this was a freelancer issue – when you work from home you’re always at work. But a new study from GFI Software shows that even 9-5 office workers answer email at night. [...]
SHOCKER: Google’s Rivals Don’t Like EU Deal After They Actually Read It
It’s official. The deal that was deemed a ‘non-starter’ by opponents back in Aprilis now officially deemed inadequate by Google rivals. This time though it appears they actually had something to read vs. just complaining about what was rumored. At least that’s a step in the right direction….. I think. Of course, those complaining are [...]

Microsoft’s Animated Skype Opera Uses Story to Showcases Ad Opportunities
Buying and selling advertising space isn’t very entertaining. It’s all facts and figures, boxes and percentages – it’s boring. Sorry, ad sellers, it is... but it doensn’t have to be. Microsoft UK set aside the facts and figures in favor of a sweet, animated video series called a SkypeOpera. These digital shorts use [...]
