According to a survey among students, these students are giving too much credit to Google search results and would think nothing about clicking on the top search results. You know, from a search engine marketing point of view, the top results don’t mean they are the best.

The funny thing is that these students thought that websites with domains that end with .gov, .edu and .org are more credible than others. Well, .gov and .edu are supposed to but .org could be registered by anyone. Even I have a .org website which I manage for an organization.

When I taught my mother, a senior citizen, to use the computer, and the first thing I taught her was to search the web using Google, and I chose Google because its homepage is bare and not as distracting, I also reminded my mother to not simply click on whatever results that pop up on the front page but to go through the list first before choosing which page to open.

As a webmaster and small business owner, I have tried making use of social media to increase the online presence of my internet property. However, it has not been easy for me at all as I know no knowledge at all on how to leverage social media to my advantage. Besides, I had to maintain my website too and run the business. It may be small but still require lots of time.

I came across a Social Media Agency which provides consultation to people like me and the agency will also manage social media campaigns for their clients. Engaging a social media agent will surely take a huge load off my shoulders!

I find it strange to read that Disney has plans to take over Playdom, the game developing company that runs a slew of games on Facebook which I also play, though out of the many games I only play Sorority Life and Social City regularly.

I find it a little strange that Disney has targeted Playdom. Granted, they do have many social games but nah, they are not as interesting as other companies that also develop social games that could be played on Facebook, MySpace and other social networking websites.

Disney, which is the world’s largest media company, has recently been paying attention to mobile games and mobile media. If Disney does purchase Playdom Inc, it will follow its recent purchase of Tapulous Inc. If you have an iPhone or iPad and play games on it, I am sure you would have come across one of its games. Yes, Disney is its owner now.

My uncle told me that he has been looking for a Social Media Agency that could help him bring more exposure and hence traffic which hopefully would convert into sales.

Although my uncle is already 70 years old, I really respect him that he is very adaptable to technology and web trends. He could stop asking me about Facebook and Twitter when he found out that businesses are making use of these sites to promote their online properties.

I hope my uncle will find success in the social media marketing blitz that he is going to run.
