Follow Your Dreams Stephen Colbert, The Greatest Living American

You may know Stephen Colbert as The Greatest Living American, but not so long ago, he was spinning his wheels looking for Mr. Goodwrench.

Stephen Colbert spent many years perfecting his comedic delivery and timing while searching for Mr. Goodwrench, but gave up on finding him.

Stephen Colbert now has a new obsession. The new obsession is a Google Bomb, and that dedication to his obsession has earned him the title of The Greatest Living American

News of Googles latest acquisition of DoubleClick (Online Advertising Solutions) has been circulating for a few days now. What you might not know is that with that purchase, came a shiny used SEO company named Performics. Performics is a search engine Marketing company that offers services like paid search marketing and organic search engine optimization. They are the largest firm with clients like America Online, Bose, Cingular… you get the picture. It breaks down like this;

Google buys Doubleclick.
Doubleclick owns Performics.
Google keeps Performics.

So, now that Google owns one of the largest Search Engine Marketing firms in the world, will this be perceived as a conflict of interest?

I predict that Google will keep Performics and sell services to large clients wanting to rank better on their search engine. Thats what they are doing with Adwords. You pay money to show better on the serps pages, but many people overlook the paid results because they feel if they had to pay to get there, then they may not be as relevant to the search query.

So now, will we be seeing paid optimized sites sprinkled in the natural serps? If your answer is no, then you are very naive my friend.

CAD Website Design is proud to have been a part of the development of a website for a division of The John Hopkins University, The Hopkins Organization for Programming. The HOP is dedicated to bringing the students of JHU quality entertainment in their weekly routines. The new site is located at http://webhost5.nts.jhu.edu/hop/Â

We provided Wade Mayes and the rest of The Hop with a flash wrapped cms, an interactive calendar of events, along with some really cool design. The folks at The Hop have a few more items to add (they have control through their cms) and they will be a valuable website for all of the John Hopkins University Students.

The only thing that would be even cooler is to get a little link love from JHU.edu ( PR9)
