sportsguy

Just another guy. I run a couple automotive-focused websites by evening, and by day I handle all the search marketing needs for my sports-info company. I spend my days and evenings online, and at various points find time to harass my three dogs and one wife. ;) I also moderate at www.searchengineforums.com and speak at conferences around North America on search marketing and monetizing websites.

Google spamming Google?

News – It seems Google's new product - Trends - is appearing in Google search results lists. Not that big a deal, IMO, but it could be a real problem if it grows in scope. As the image shows it happening on a very current topic, so it'll likely be corrected in time, but still, it's funny to see Google products showing in Google results...

Traffic.com bought by NAVTEQ

Autos – Apparently this is a largish merger of two companies. Traffic.com I know of, but I've never heard of NAVTEQ - still, should be good news as it helps both companies better solidify themselves in this space.
