Industry Background Search engine companies haven’t been around for very long with most of them coming into existence in the mid 1990’s. Many of these companies are already gone or in a state of gobbling each other up to compete with the bigger companies. Yahoo seems to be the grandfather of the currently existing crop starting in 1994. The growth in Internet usage and the amount of data being made available has made accurately and quickly finding that data more important. The search companies and search engine strategies have become very important to webmasters and company marketing strategies due to the desire of companies to have their products and services appear at the top of the list and on the most used search sites. The methodologies that a company uses for searching is highly confidential. Some search companies get its search crawler data from Google, for instance Yahoo did this for a while and now AOLSearch is “enhanced” by Google. The companies earn their money in a variety of ways but primarily it is paid advertising that is the bread and butter of this industry. Google, Inc. Background Google Inc. has gone from literally a garage company started in 1998 by two Stanford University computer science graduate students, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, to a forward thinking firm that employs over 10,000 people today. The two actually met in 1995 and began formulating their initial ideas on searching which they tried to sell. When no interest was garnered for it, they decided to form Google and presented their search methods at a World Wide Web conference in 1998 and by 1999 had $30 million in funding from a variety of means. Google went public in 2004 raising $1.6 billion. Google is so “big” it has become a new word in the English language meaning; to search for information on the Internet, esp. using the…

Considering the effects of advertising on consumers, there are a few risks that advertisers take in placing advertisements on MySpace. One risk taken, Advertisers may try to minimize information about the product. Now that means the consumers or people on MySpace that see this ad, are not getting the full run down on information that they need to distinguish whether or not the product is a need to them or not. Another risk on advertising on MySpace is to modify the nature of the communication media where it is shown. For instance on MySpace, when they advertise a new movie, they like to re-design the background so that it grabs your attention. Now the bad side to this is that, when you make an annoying background, people aren’t going to sit there and want to look at it. The frustration of the mixed colors and things moving all over your screen is a turn off to most people from my experience. What kind of people or personalities might companies try to appeal to by advertising on MySpace? Well that’s a pretty easy question to answer, Teenagers. If you have noticed on MySpace, it’s not advertisements of a new movie, its more than likely advertisements of music artists. For example, I have recently checked out the main home page of MySpace and all you see over it is a bunch of Rap Stars, Pop Stars, and Hip Hop artists. Most of the artists they are advertising are the famous ones such as Akon, Justin Timberlake, and Ludicrous. These are names of most of the top music brands that Teenagers in high school are listening to at the time being. You very rarely see advertisements for adults on MySpace because it’s more run by the lower and upper teens over populating it. Not saying that there aren’t any adults on there but, most are teens on MySpace and it’s a really big area to advertise if you want to get their attention. Most big Movie Businesses and Music Labels have already started advertising there big movies and song artists. The MySpace environment, will it make it…

Designed to help people retrieve information from either a computer network within an organisation or the World Wide Web, Google 's search engine differs from prior engines in that it sorts information by a ranking of relevance. This relevance is determined by the number of times other web pages refer users to a particular webpage to find their requested information. An uncluttered and clear user interface simplifies the search function. Users are able to get fast and more relevant results to their search queries. This initially helped to form the competitive advantage which Google once held over its rival search engines, since imitated by Microsoft with its MSN Search. The relative ease of the search interface for internet search users has helped to place Google firmly in the position as the current US market leader, as shown in Table 1.…
