Getting your business on Google Maps
It’s funny, I was explaining this process to someone over IM just the other day, it seems no sooner I did than Google Blogoscoped put up a post on how to do it.
If you’re not reading Google Blogoscoped already, you should be, it’s a great Google Blog with tons of handy Google Info.
Anyway, there’s a really neat post on how to add your business to the ‘Google Universal’ search and mark it on Google Maps.
Google Universal is pretty much what you see when you use the Google Search engine. It’s what they’re trying to tie results from all of their services into. [see here]
You can take care of all your Google Business information through the Google Business Center [here]
You can even add Coupons to your listing for users to search and use.
The business center will tell you some very simple statistics for how many times your business appeared in a search engine and how many clicks it got.
Google announces new Ad Planner
We all know that Google makes the bulk of their money from advertisers. We also know that the ad. market is getting more and more difficult to understand and make the most of.
Well, in an effort to make advertisers’ lives easier Google will be launching a new product, the Ad Planner.
Apparently the service will help advertising planners target the sites in which their advertising will have the greatest impact.
It’s going to be free too!
What are Domain Typos?
Simply, a domain typo is a way that a user will mistype your domain name when typing it.
Domain typos are often based on proximity to other characters on the standard qwerty keyboard.
People will sometimes register typos of popular domains to redirect traffic to their own sites instead of the intended one. (Yahoo.com vs. Yaho.com) To prevent this domain owners register variants of their domains to prevent any malicious use.
See the Domain Typo Generator at PageRank.net [here]
Here’s a list of possible typos for the word ‘TechBurgh’

Google Releases MapMaker
Because it would be very, very hard for Google to map the entire world, they need your help.
Google has released Google MapMaker.
The idea behind the Google MapMaker is that users in countries outside the US can create markers for business, places of interest etc.
Google has made it more a WIKI than anything else.
