Despite Recent Blows, Size Keeps It a Valuable Partner for Advertisers NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Its Google search deal is history, Microsoft is no longer a suitor, and a combination with Time Warner's AOL is theoretical, at least for now. Its stock has gone from an all-time high of $33.63 in October 2007 to $10.34 as of Nov. 12 of this year. And yet Yahoo is a lot more valuable in the eyes of Madison Avenue than it is in the eyes of Wall Street, thanks to an important but oft-forgotten point in the debate over how old and stodgy the traditional portal model might be: Size still matters. According to Chrysler, a home-page buy on Yahoo is worth 75 TV ratings points or the equivalent of four 30-second spots in a hit prime-time show such as ABC's 'Desperate Housewives.' "Advertisers are looking at where's the traffic, volume and value is today. And today is very positive for advertisers at Yahoo," said Chris Moloney, chief marketing officer at Scottrade, which in August was the top online-ad spender, according to TNS Media Intelligence. "Google is considered to be the 800-pound gorilla of the internet but it doesn't have content the way Yahoo does. It ...

Another good news from Dan Havlik of PDN Technology Editor. Enjoy! Cult camcorder manufacturer Red finally took the wraps off a new product it had been teasing on its website and in online forums for weeks -- a multi-purpose hybrid camcorder/digital SLR that lets the user create their own custom imaging device based around Red's sensors. Though Red had said at the NAB show in Las Vegas last April that it would release two camcorders -- the professional-level Epic which would shoot at up to 5K resolution; and Scarlet, a more prosumer camcorder that would shoot in 3K, it now appears that those two models have become the guts of an entirely new module-based product. What that product is exactly is still somewhat unclear which is, perhaps, the point. Along with a series of images showing the new camera/camcorder hybrid in various configurations, the most revealing piece of information Red released this morning was a new brochure outlining the Red DSMC (Digital Stills and Motion Camera.) The headline of the brochure reads: "Scarlet. Epic. An Extreme Case of Multiple Personalities." According to the brochure, "Scarlet and EPIC are the DNA of RED's new DSMC system." To create a system, the potential customer would select ...

It was a great Saturday morning for me and my wife today even we had no water. Yes, Quezon City has a broken pipe lines since last night. Anyway, we decided to leave the house to take our breakfast in one of the fastfood in Welcome Rotonda and I bring my camera with me and the photos tell you the rest... well... hopefully. Happy weekend and God bless us all! Ride with Pride Banawe, Araneta, EDSA, U-Turn Water for Free Water for Free Version 2

Every year, each and every Filipino remembering and visiting their love ones who died at the cemetery. And this year I never had a chance to visit my father and my relatives. As you know my father died when I was 5 years old and being a family man myself I miss some things like this. But do you know the truth behind this culture? Or let me simply ask you, is Halloween exist? For the meantime, this is what I've got coz' its been late in the afternoon when I came to the cemetery and I'm not in the mood taking pictures that day. Thanks for your time visiting my blog.

When designing a website you sometimes only have one chance to keep the internet visitor from clicking the back button on their web browser. Whether you are selling a product or offering a service, remember your website design represents your business. Rule #1. Limit the use or do not use flashy banners and advertisements at the beginning of you website. There is a time and place for the banners and advertisements. There is nothing more annoying than clicking on a website to see cartoon characters and advertisements for other products flashing in front of your face. This can be too much for your potential customer. Your customer is there for a purpose and if the blatant advertisements or flashing banners turn them off they may just hit the back button before they find what they are looking for. The only exception to this rule is determined by the purpose of you website. Rule #2. Make sure your website design make it easy for the visitor to find the navigation buttons. If a customer has to search for a navigation button to find information about the company or the navigation buttons are not working, the visitor may get frustrated and leave you website. As a rule ...
