PR 8 Links from Google.com Only $1,995

SEO Dark Lord - 92%

Are you an SEO Expert?

As the debate over paid links continues in reaction to Google’s recent line in the sand it may shock many that Google is currently offering paid links on Google.com for the very reasonable price of just $1,995 - and as an added bonus you’ll also receive a free Google Mini.

Yesterday while digging through a competitor’s backlinks for a client I noticed a domain that seemed remarkably out of place: google.com. In addition to adding themselves to a large number of low quality directories, the competitor had discovered that if you purchase the Google Mini you have the privilege of contributing to their exceedingly large list of “customer success stories“. While many of these success stories are for established and recognizable businesses who sincerely appreciate the advanced search capabilities the Mini provides, others are undoubtedly as pleased with their new link as their new Google Mini.

Google Maps for Mobile gets Street View, walking directions

The Google Maps for Mobile team pushed a new version of their application today, with two hugely awesome features packed inside.

They’ve added support for Street View, which allows you to get a pedestrian’s-eye view of any street Google has cruised down with their panoramic-shootin’ super car. It’s a feature that has been around for quite some time on the desktop version, but is mounds more useful on-the-go.

The new release also adds walking directions for those of us that count on our kickers to get around. If there’s a sidewalk to walk on, your feet don’t care if a street is one way.

As long as you’ve got a compatible handset (BlackBerry, and most Java-enabled phones), you can nab the new release by pointing it at http://m.google.com/maps?dc=gorganic

Google Launches Audio Indexing

As the Web becomes more sophisticated and audio and video becomes a more important part of our online lives, we need something that will help us sift through the junk and find what we’re looking for in all that content. To address that, Google announced Wednesday that it has launched audio indexing in Google Labs.

Dubbed GAudi, the new service is designed to work with YouTube, and will catalog all the words uttered during an audio or video clip. Once collected, the transcript will be added to a searchable database that can be accessed in much the same way you search for text-based websites.

But before you start wondering if Google has indexed your latest vlog, don’t get too excited. According to the company, GAudi is only in beta at this point and during that time, it will only index audio and video from political sources.

Aside from being able to search for terms mentioned in the video, you can click on a group of play buttons to bring you to the exact point in the video where the keyword is mentioned. In other words, if you’re searching for discussions the candidates have had about health, simply input that into the search field, and the best video result will be shown in the right pane. You can either choose to watch the entire video or click on the links below to be brought to the exact moment during the video that health was said by the political figure.

Google didn’t give any word about what would happen to GAudi after it’s done indexing political speeches, but the service has some promise and is definitely worth checking out.
