|[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8522) ResetableGzipOutputStream creates invalid gzip files when finish() and resetState() are used
|Thu, 21 Jun 2012 08:27:42 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8522?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13398288#comment-13398288 ] Mike Percy commented on HADOOP-8522: ------------------------------------ Some additional info. Currently, resetState() works when using the native Zlib gzip implementation; the output appears to comply with the spec and works with "gunzip" because it writes the full header and trailer (basically concatenated gzip files). That may be one reason this bug has lain dormant for so long with the non-native implementation (serious users tend to use the native libs). So, the problem is with the non-native gzip implementation. > ResetableGzipOutputStream creates invalid gzip files when finish() and resetState() are used > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8522 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8522 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: io > Affects Versions: 1.0.3, 2.0.0-alpha > Reporter: Mike Percy > > ResetableGzipOutputStream creates invalid gzip files when finish() and resetState() are used. The issue is that finish() flushes the compressor buffer and writes the gzip CRC32 + data length trailer. After that, resetState() does not repeat the gzip header, but simply starts writing more deflate-compressed data. The resultant files are not readable by the Linux "gunzip" tool. ResetableGzipOutputStream should write valid multi-member gzip files. > The gzip format is specified in [RFC 1952|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1952]. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Google Analytics announced a new major release on May 8, 2007. As I commented back then, this release implements some features that were sorely lacking previously. These include:
- Customizable Dashboards
- Emailing of reports
- Improved Segmentation Capabilities
- A general overhaul of the UI
Let's Start at the Beginning
Today, I am going to take a bit deeper look at this new release, and I will also look a bit at how it compares to the old release. Let's start by comparing the opening screens.
On the left, we have the old version, and on the right, the new start screen:
click each image for larger views
Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest differences. The prior interface looks like it's designed by and for engineers. The new interface simply feels more graphical, and is better looking. I know that's subjective, but I suspect that an awful lot of usability testing went into this release.
The new interface does a much better job of presenting the most common numbers people look for up front. For example, visitors (what some people call unique visitors) and page views are now visible on the initial page. Other key parameters, such as bounce rate, page views per visit, and time on site are also right there.
So right away, we have an opening screen that is a much better fit for senior managers that only care about the most basic numbers. Along those same lines, the ability to email reports was an essential feature for Google Analytics to add. This was one of the largest deficiencies in the product previously.
And it fits into a basic principle of Web analytics: make sure that the person who has to approve the analytics budget (yes, there is still a budget when you use a free tool like Google Analytics, it's for the people who use the tool) feels like they are getting added value from the tools you install.
It's really hard to get a large(r) analytics budget if the people who approve the related expenses don't have a feeling for how it helps the business. Give them something to look at. A simple dashboard that contains the basic numbers they would look for? Absolutely. Have those numbers arrive in their email so they don't even have to login? Even better.
User Segmentation
This new version now offers some user segmentation capabilities. For example, if you have users fill out a form, you can trigger on the data they enter, and break them into groups. Perhaps you ask people to indicate how long it is before they intent to make a decision. You might then want to track the behavior of users on your site who select 0 to 3 months differently than those who pick 3 to 6 months.
You can now do this through the use of code on your web site to set a variable for Google Analytics to key on. I have not yet implemented this to test it, but I hope to do so in the new future. But, it looks like a promising enhancement to the product's overall capabilities.
What's Still Missing
The Analytics Settings section of the product does not appear to have changed. As a result, the process for setting up filters is still the same. This is too bad, and hopefully we will see this change in an upcoming release. Filters can be used to setup "Content Groups", and I explain how to do this in detail in Google Analytics in my article Using Google Analytics to Manage Content Groups.
Content Groups are useful on larger sites where you want to look at the data across a larger set of pages. Let's say, for example, that you have a site that sells books, and you have organized them all into categories by genre. Let's also assume that all the genres have their own template that determine page layout because you have determined that different audience respond differently to the page structure.
If you have several thousand science fiction books, with one page per book, it is hard to look at the performance of any one page and draw meaningful conclusions about how your template performs in terms of driving conversion. There just is not enough data. This is a perfect application for a content group. With a content group, you can aggregate all of your science fiction pages into one page, allowing you to measure their performance in a simple and elegant way.
As I mentioned above, you can setup Content Groups in Google Analytics, it just requires you to define separate website profiles for each Content Group. The details are explained in my prior article about this. It works fine, but it just feels a little bit clumsy.
Overall, this release is a great step forward for Google Analytics. Already popular prior to this release, this functionality will enable webmasters to get a lot more out of this product than before. Equally important, it shows that Google is committed to investing in the product, and that they will keep on improving it.

Evolution is a fact of life and for the better part, it has always led to new and improved beginnings. When it comes to machines though, how the evolution turns out pretty much depends on the manufacturer. So when Bajaj announced the arrival of their new Discover ST, we were left guessing on what the next step for this popular commuter would be. The first glimpse pretty much got raised eyebrows from all of us. Bajaj, as usual, had got it right again. After the awesome new Pulsar 200NS, we didn't think the company could do any wrong - and they have proved us right with the new Discover ST.
So why 125 ST when the Bajaj already had the Discover 100, 125 and 150? The Discover saga originated in 2004, and the bike was the first to move away from the 'just a commuter' tag in the 125 cc class. And Bajaj didn't have to do much. A nice, sleek design complimented by a very peppy 125cc motor, the Discover was an immediate hit. The second generation of the Discover spawned 100cc and 150cc variants and gave the brand a good spread throughout the segments. The sports tourer, as they call it, is for those who commute long distances. Makes sense actually considering there are lots of people whose commutes involve in-city travel and highway jaunts as well. The ST then is pretty much the next generation Discover and it gives us a fair idea about what we can expect from Bajaj in the future.
Dynamic evolution
While the first and second gen Discovers were more or less identical to look at, the new ST is on a different level altogether. The headlight and the front fairing are a nice blend of the old gen Pulsar and the new 200NS. The front mudguard has a nice chiselled look and adds a lot of character to the front of the bike. The newly designed tank has all the right curves, and it's not just the aesthetics; the knee recesses accommodate the knees beautifully too, for a change. The centre panel is a silver piece of plastic which also incorporates the fuel cock and sports the "4-valves" moniker. This however is the only bit on the bike which does not really gel with the otherwise fantastic design.
The Discover ST is all about the details, the cleanly executed exhaust, the well finished bar end weights, those amazing spider alloy wheels and not to forget those lovely petal discs up front. All these fine details come together make one good looking and feeling motorcycle. The only glitch in the looks is at the rear. While the inclusion of the monoshock suspension at the rear gives the bike a very clean overall look, the hugger along with the extended mudguard and tail piece makes things quite fussy at the back. There are just too many things happening there.
The speedo console has been kept at a bare minimum to keep costs down and is dominated by a large speedometer flanked by a fuel gauge and the usual telltale lights. However considering the kind of performance the ST dishes out, a rev counter would have been more than welcome.
A small mill with a lot of heart
Housed in the semi double cradle frame is the similar 125.58cc twin spark unit from the current Discover but now packing 4-valves-per-cylinder and then some. The first thing you notice are the corrugated engine fins. To the layman they may look like straight fins which are bent but there's a lot more to it than meets the eye. The corrugated engine fins not only aid heat transfer by 28 per cent but also increase horsepower by 15 per cent. Expect this treatment on more Bajaj bikes in the future. Bajaj have also worked on the NVH level big time considering the bike is meant for long commutes and vibrations are a strict no-no for the same. There is also a paper element now in the fuel cock which increases filtering efficiency. Considering how pure our fuel is, this bit is sure to make a lot of difference in the long haul.
As a result, compared to the current engine, the Discover ST's mill now makes a very impressive 13PS at a higher 9000 rpm. Torque however remains the same at 10.78Nm but again made at a peaky 6500rpm. To know how impressive these figures are, just check the power figures of 150cc bikes of a couple of years back. The ST now makes the same or a little more power from a 125cc unit. Says a lot, doesn't it?
So how does the ST perform in the real world? While we are yet to test the bike for numbers, the ST comes across as a strong performer. Power delivery feels nice and linear and going through the 5-speed gearbox is an absolute breeze. What is especially noticeable is the newfound smoothness and brilliant gearing. To see how flexible the engine was, I dropped speeds to as low as 15km/h in 5th gear and then whacked the throttle open. The bike surged ahead without a single knock as the speedo wound its way from 15km/h all the way to 80km/h in the same gear as I ran out of road. The engine also feels pretty comfortable at non-commuting speeds which would range between 60 and 80km/h. As far as performance is concerned, Bajaj has got it bang on the money.

Some professors just do not care about their students
At tiffin we have free tutoring, the computers and prints are open 24hours for free, we have study tables you can come to if you don't want to be in your dorm. We have a great lobby with a TV and a vending machine on each floor. We have twobhuge gyms and track if you want to take a run but not outside to keep warm.
This was only of the few schools to offer a degree I was interested in for a Master's program and certainly one of the very few which offered it fully online. The coursework is interesting and ties nicely in to the field that I was pursuing. All of my studies related in some way to my interests or helped to begin a new interest in a subject I had not explored before. Great instructors and great environment to learn.
From my experience, I have had several professors that went out of their way to teach me. They used more resources to help students understand the materials and gave extra time than was required.
The professors are easily accessible and provide adequate feedback on assignments

Scientific Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service Pocatello Idaho
216 am MDT Tuesday Jul 26 2016
Short term...today through Thursday.
Today appears to be the best day for thunderstorm activity in the
short term. Upper level short wave combined with instability
should cause isolated to scattered thunderstorms in the central
mountains east through the upper snake Highlands and the Island
Park area. The big concern will be the possibility of fire starts
as extensive precipiation not expected with storms. The snake
plain and south should not see any activity. Temperatures will
remain very hot through Thursday with highs in the 90s in the
snake plain and 80s in the mountains. Do not expect thunderstorms
Wednesday or Thursday.
Long term...Friday through Tuesday.
The very hot conditions will continue through Saturday as an upper
level trof approaches. Flow aloft turning southwest may allow more
monsoonal moisture into the region and an increase in the chance
for thunderstorms to develop Saturday through Monday and included
in grids. May finally see a cooling to near seasonal normals by
Monday into Tuesday.
Aviation...a flat trough was migrating east through central Idaho
early this morning and is expected to promote thunderstorm
development along the Montana Divide this afternoon/eve extending
westward toward MacKay. Little or no impact is anticipated at the
terminal locations. Huston
Fire weather...a flat trough was migrating east through central Idaho
early this morning and is expected to promote isolated to scattered
thunderstorm development along the Montana Divide this afternoon/eve
extending westward toward MacKay. All of this after a prolonged dry
period. Thus a red flag warning has been issued for fire zones 475
and 476 across the central mountains and zone 411 encompassing mainly
the Centennial Mountains extending from Monida Pass eastward through
Island Park. A ridge rebounds over southern Idaho Wednesday morning
as the trough exits east of the region. A second weaker disturbance
rotates into SW Canada and the Idaho Panhandle Wednesday
afternoon/eve which may create an uptick in winds in the evening and
isolated thunderstorms along the Montana/Wyoming border region Near
Island park. After this disturbance passes east, the Main Ridge over
the SW states expands northwestward across Nevada (not nearly as far
north as previous model runs) encouraging sub-tropical moisture to
work north across Nevada Friday. By Saturday and Sunday, a fairly
strong Pacific trough spreads into western Canada with the trough axis
and associated cold front sweeping inland across the northwest states
Sunday and Monday. Again, the model details continue to vary from
run to run during this time frame but the overall depiction of a sub-
tropical push northward across southeast Idaho Saturday through Monday with
accompanying isolated to scattered thunderstorm activity and
increasing winds Sunday and Monday still holds. Heightened fire
activity is anticipated this weekend and continuing into the early
part of next week. We will work out the details as that time frame
draws near. Huston
Pih watches/warnings/advisories...
red flag warning from 2 PM this afternoon to 10 PM MDT this
evening for idz411-475-476.

An analysis is presented of a 3-phase magnetic amplifier with bridge-connected output circuit and any number of series-connected and parallel-connected control windings. Approximate output difference equations are derived for two modes of operation representing one-half to minimum output and one-half to full output. These output difference equations express the dynamic relationship of the sixth-cycle average input and outputvoltages in terms of a core function and the control circuit resistances. The importance of a feedback factor associated with the fraction of the voltage from a gating core which appears across the cores in a position to be reset is demonstrated. Approximate gain and time constant expressions appropriate for a simplified dynamic representation are derived from the difference equations and a more complicated block diagram representation.

We may have unlimited storage for words and concepts, but we definitely have limited retrieval. We can make word recall easier through organization and categorization. When we think of with a word, we search through a large lexicon, like an internal database of words and concepts that reflect our understanding of the world. We typically store words through hierarchical relationships...(read more)firstname.lastname@example.com://community.advanceweb.com/members/troberts.pdx%40gmail.com.aspxRainbow Fairies http://community.advanceweb.com/blogs/sp_2/archive/2016/06/29/rainbow-fairies.aspx2016-06-29T13:05:00Z2016-06-29T13:05:00ZFairies represent magic and wonder. The word "fairy" is a magic because it helps students transition from consonantal /r/ to vocalic /r/. The intervocalic /r/ in medial position allows us to produce /r/ at the end of the first syllable and the beginning of the second syllable, "fairrrr-- -rry". We can teach the postvocalic /r/ through anticipatory placement of the upcoming consonantal /r/. After a child has mastered placement for initial /r/, such as "red", "road", etc., moving to vocalic /r/ may...(read more)email@example.com://community.advanceweb.com/members/troberts.pdx%40gmail.com.aspxRecord It http://community.advanceweb.com/blogs/sp_2/archive/2016/06/14/record-it.aspx2016-06-14T18:04:00Z2016-06-14T18:04:00ZCell phones and tablets allow for immediate audio and video recording. Students typically begin by making silly recordings of greetings and funny sayings. Since most of us are initially surprised at how our voice sounds on a recording, we watch British Radio 1 Scientist, Greg Foot's YouTube video, "Why does your voice sound different on a recording?", which explains the inner ear and how vocal fold vibration causes the bones of the skull to vibrate.

I recently took a few minutes to ask each student the question, "What have you learned about your talking and your speaking this year?" Here are a few of the different responses: • "I learned that I can do good R's fairly consistently." • "I learned a different kind of R and to put my tongue back more." • "I made a document about stuttering that was really cool." • "If you slow down a lot, it's better for you." • "I learned that I can help other people." • "I...(read more)email@example.com://community.advanceweb.com/members/troberts.pdx%40gmail.com.aspx'Dear Tongue...'http://community.advanceweb.com/blogs/sp_2/archive/2016/05/31/dear-tongue.aspx2016-05-31T19:38:00Z2016-05-31T19:38:00Z"We need to write a letter to your tongue so that it will know what to do.

A "Dear Tongue" letter for /r/ might be: "Dear Tongue, • Remember to go to the back of the mouth • Lift up the sides a little bit so you can feel the molars • Relax just a little bit so you don't get too stiff • I believe in you. You can do it!"

The design of a simple UHF (ultrahigh frequency) RFID (radio frequency identification) reader antenna that operates within the 900 MHz band (902-928 MHz) is studied. To generate circular polarization (CP) radiation, a novel method of loading a semicircular slot into the main circular radiating patch is proposed. To allow optimum impedance matching with enhanced CP bandwidth, the L-shaped probe-feed technique is employed in this design. From the experimental results, besides achieving a gain level of more than 7 dBic, the proposed antenna can also yield an impedance bandwidth (10-dB return loss) from 880 to 1100 MHz, while good CP performances between 901 to 930 MHz are exhibited. To further validate the experimental results, parametric studies are also carried out via simulation.

tag:econsultancy.com,2008:/topics/search-marketing Latest Search Marketing content from Econsultancy 2016-07-27T14:02:00+01:00 tag:econsultancy.com,2008:BlogPost/68102 2016-07-27T14:02:00+01:00 2016-07-27T14:02:00+01:00 Why there should be more plaudits for digital audits Chris Bishop
Those at the top of organisations don't feel they have the strategic sweep to justify the time and effort required to commission them.

Audits are viewed at times as a little "too tactical" or only done once every blue moon by agencies aiming to impress for your business, only to then collect dust on top of Econsultancy buyers guides print outs or even your old New Media Age magazines (Ed: We let this lie, but only to show we have a sense of humour).

For the in-house Head of Ecommerce, requesting a digital audit might sound dangerously like a turkey voting for Christmas.

Are we selling audits wrongly?

Or is it the slightly cheesy marketing of website or marketing auditors themselves that is putting people off?

All that tired 'digital health check' stuff might be the kind of foot in the door tactic that make brands feel suspicious of then giving access to their precious AdWords account, affiliate network or analytics suite.

How important are digital audits anyway?

In reality, though, digital audits are absolutely vital. And third party objective auditing ensures that you're not marking your own home work or ignoring long term problems.

Proper auditing, UX testing and CRO analysis means you can elongate the lifetime and effectiveness of your website and digital media activity, in a way that can be done on any budget.

Your digital real estate is often an expensive investment - you've got to maintain it properly to get results.

Regular servicing is vital

Think of that shiny new website you've just spent months developing as a new car you've just acquired.

To start off with, it's the envy of everyone who sees it. After-sales support is pretty good and you can see years of trouble free motoring ahead of you. Before you know it, though, your warranty is up and you're on your own.

As the car ages, small problems become big problems. It performs less effectively. You're paying for petrol, but it's becoming less and less economical to run. There are so many things going wrong with it you don't know where to start. Eventually the car's value is so diminished you might as well scrap it and buy a new one.

It's the same with websites and digital marketing campaigns. They can't be left to look after themselves – and even the mechanic themselves might need some fine tuning or training themselves.

What a digital audit can do for you

Audits can show you how to balance your budget more effectively through action and prioritisation. They can identify common issues like plateaus in activity and drop offs in acquisition; all the elements that reduce profitability.

The Lessons of the Audit

Constantly learn, constantly improve, constantly trade! A timely and constructive audit will help you:

Keep up to date with the latest channel trends - Google changes, new publishers in affiliate, new platform or techniques for social.

Use competitor analysis to keep your enemies close! It's crucial to analyse and understand market share/spend and its consequences for your brand.

Help you (re)define your goals.

Confirm your objectives or KPIs so you can measure success.

Understand new opportunities.

Benchmark improvements or conversely measure areas of decline.

Ensure corporate compliance – its best practice to have someone external "rubber stamp" your activity.

Encourage serendipity – the uncovering of that nugget of information that transforms your understanding and makes the commercial difference.

Should you take the plunge?

Regular and skilled digital auditing is a detailed and never ending task. It can transform the effectiveness of your digital advertising, website and budget.

Is it sexy? It's showing your website a lot of love and attention. It's optimizing and maximizing your marketing profitability and performance. Sounds pretty sexy to me.

Whether you're into beauty or not, the following examples are well worth a look.

L'Oreal

With its unique domain name, L'Oréal's makeup.com is designed to feel like an independent publication rather than a brand blog.

Its authenticity isn't fake either.

Often publishing product-focused features like "The Best Drugstore Highlighters", it includes a wide variety of brands (not just promoting its own) to provide readers with a balanced and surprisingly unbiased frame of reference.

Birchbox

A beauty subscription service, Birchbox gives consumers the opportunity to discover new products each month.

Its blog cleverly provides context for these products, using informative articles to inspire, educate and ultimately give consumers a reason to continue their subscription.

With its unboxing videos and 'Birchbox reactions' articles, a lot of the content is self-promotional (something that could potentially put non-subscribers off).

However, for loyal consumers, this aspect undoubtedly provides extra value.

Mankind

It might be one of the relatively few male grooming blogs out there, but there's more reason to visit Mankind than that.

With five Editors each with their own area of expertise, it has a nice mix of lifestyle content, using distinct verticals like 'International' and 'Luxury'.

One of the reasons I like it is that, alongside general articles, it's not afraid to experiment with a more in-depth approach.

It's 'ingredient focus' series is particularly interesting, and something that many of the fluffier, female-driven blogs could learn from.

Sephora

Who needs models when beauty products can look so attractive?

With its stunning product-focused photography, Sephora Glossy showcases the very best of its main shop.

Instead of long-form content, it publishes short how-to's and product curations, making it feel more like an extension of Pinterest or Tumblr than an in-depth publication.

With its user-friendly design, it's one of those sites that you could find yourself scrolling through for ages.

Clinique

Marketing itself as a philosophy rather than a cosmetics line, Clinique's blog focuses on the two verticals of beauty and lifestyle.

Cleverly using skincare as a spin-off to other verticals, it also covers topics like food and fitness, implementing video to further engage visitors.

In comparison to other blogs, it is also pleasingly minimal, proving that a less-is-more approach can work.

Urban Decay

In comparison to Clinique, Urban Decay's blog is loud, proud and unashamedly purple.

Recognising the digital mind-set of its core demographic, it is heavily geared around the online beauty community where bloggers and YouTubers have huge influence.

The blog has an original feel to it, with the standard 'How-To's sitting alongside unique 'Women Who Rock Our World' and 'XO, WZ' – the latter being an insider look at co-founder Wende Zomnir's world.

Ben's Nan and her Google search

Why does this make me think about bots?

I've been a bit of a pessimist about bots, which peaked when I read a post by Dan Grover titled 'Bots won't replace apps. Better apps will replace apps.'

The thrust of the piece is that typing 'hello bot', 'please can I order X and Y please', 'thank you' etc. is actually fairly labour intensive - it requires far more taps than opening an app, selecting a product from a menu and paying with one-click ordering.

However, if we think like this, are we falling into the trap of assuming we have already designed 'intuitive' user interfaces in apps and on websites?

In reality, there is currently no such thing as an intuitive experience when it comes to user interfaces - yes, there are skeuomorphisms and conventions that have been in place for a long time, but people still have to learn how to use a computer and the internet and apps more specifically.

This doesn't represent a problem for digital natives - they grow up using many different UIs and understand them almost instinctively.

However, there are still demographics that find using the internet more challenging.

I remember a blog article by Jennifer Morrow (via @WGX) about a first-time user of Internet Explorer back in 2011. The blog makes amusing reading because one realises how badly designed many digital experiences are.

Bots, though, and perhaps more accurately digital assistants are taking us towards a more intuitive interaction.

Users can simply talk to Alexa or Google Assistant in the same way they are used to interacting with a person.

Undoubtedly, there's still a lot of complex set-up required, but the move is one toward intelligent assistance.

This aim for human-computer interaction shouldn't be sneered at.

Assistants may eventually enable my grandfather to perform certain activities he has hitherto been unable to do through a laptop, even if the challenge of adoption and habit-forming is still a big one.

Ben's Nan - I hope you've given us a glimpse into a future where it's not so ridiculous to say 'please' and 'thank you' to a robot, and even to receive better service because you did.

 tag:econsultancy.com,2008:BlogPost/67864 2016-05-19T16:14:51+01:00 2016-05-19T16:14:51+01:00 VR, messaging or Assistant: Which is the best bet for Google? Ben Davis
Messaging - Allo

With Allo, Google is abandoning the necessity of logging in with a Google account (a la Hangouts) and allowing users to message each other using an encrypted service (though, controversially, this won't be enabled as default). Allo will be tied to your phone number, much like WhatsApp.

In appearance, what we've seen looks a lot like Facebook Messenger. Indeed, messaging UX itself doesn't vary a great deal across apps.

So far, so good, but what's going to make Allo stand out?

Well, it seems to be taking all that's good from a variety of social messaging apps, wrapping it together and adding a few new features.

You can annotate photographs (like Snapchat) and add stickers (like Messenger, LINE, WeChat etc.).

Little extras include the ability to scale text up and down (Google calls this 'Whisper Shout' and it's an intriguing way of adding another dimension to messaging, certainly to add humour).

Smart reply and a virtual assistant is how Google intends to give Allo the edge, making the most of Google's machine learning and Knowledge Graph.

The virtual assistant is demoed in the GIF below, and it looks like an interesting way to find information mutually with a contact, something that will save time and confusion.

Smart reply is probably not a game changer, being much like templated messages in SMS, though with the obvious advantage that they are a lot more intelligent and learn from your app usage.

Still expect suggestions including lots of exclamation marks - perhaps not perfectly tailored to the British market.

The verdict?

Allo looks incredibly slick and fun to use. It's difficult to say though how deep the inroads it makes into WhatsApp and Messenger usage will be.

One thing's for sure, the usage of messaging apps is so high that if Google can gain traction here, it suddenly gets lots more data and lots more real estate to sell advertising (like Facebook) through its assistant's recommendations.

Oh and one last point - I'm not convinced by the name Allo. I find it a bit anaemic, a bit too much like the ill-fated Ello. But what's in a name?

Virtual Reality - Daydream

I get very excited about VR and consequently I'm excited about Daydream. It's a platform, allowing developers to create VR content for a range of devices.

Google will work with hardware manufacturers to define and design new headsets and controllers.

What excites me about Daydream is the consolidation of content, notably 360 degree video from YouTube, but also Google StreetView, Photos and Play.

Though there have been many exciting demonstrations of VR from Oculus and its competitors, the consumer needs to be compelled by devices that offer more than simply early and expensive implementations.

Google Daydream could really accelerate this process and hit some of the marks that Glass failed to hit so spectacularly.

The verdict?

A lack of hardware makes me even more excited about Daydream, avoiding the hype that accompanies a prototype headset and focusing on content.

Google Assistant

Okay, we've touched on this already, it's going to be included in Allo, but more broadly Assistant will be part of Home (Google's new Internet of Things hub) and increasingly a part of interacting with your mobile (if you want).

Google hasn't named its assistant, unlike Amazon (Alexa), Microsoft (Cortana), Apple (Siri) etc.

I think that's a great move, as part of the scepticism around assistants and intelligent bots is whether indeed they will save time for the user.

Apeing human interaction isn't always advantageous (see this fantastic post from Dan Grover), and Google seems to understand this need for incredibly useful interventions without a frustrating bot personality added in.

Creating a home device that sits on your table and responds to commands is a way of showcasing Google Assistant.

Even those without Home should start to realise that Assistant is something that can be utilised on their devices.

If Assistant works with subtlety and nuance, much like the Allo example above, combined with the announcement of Instant Apps, it could greatly speed up mobile UX.

The verdict?

The most powerful part of Google's new announcements, given its ability to bring together products and pioneer new UX.
 tag:econsultancy.com,2008:BlogPost/67857 2016-05-18T15:55:00+01:00 2016-05-18T15:55:00+01:00 Google introduces Shopping Ads to image search: The expert view Ben Davis
An example of PLAs for the image search term 'crystal necklace'.

Expect a drop in organic traffic from image results

Of late, Google's product changes in search have led SEOs to bemoan the erosion of natural listings, notably with more and larger ads appearing on mobile (three text ads at the top instead of two, and large format PLAs).

PLAs in image search continues this trend, as Max Holloway of Pi Datametrics points out, saying "The biggest change to organic search will be the loss of real estate."

Max goes further, predicting the impact on those who get organic traffic through image listings:

Typically on Google Image search all results are organic and take up approximately 66% of the screen above the fold. With the introduction of Image Ads this drops to about 25%, so if you are currently getting a lot of traffic through image searches expect this to drop off significantly.

The ads themselves will be more relevant to the search and have extra information which will further take clicks away from organic results (such as prices, brand names and URLs of trusted websites).

This is another step in the direction of the first page of Google containing only paid-for or non-organic results!

This should have happened sooner, and fits nicely at the top of the funnel

The overriding reaction to the change seems to be 'duh, why didn't this happen sooner'.

Ruth Attwood and Marcus Knight of 4Ps Marketing sum this up a little more elegantly:

Ruth Attwood:

"I'm honestly surprised it has taken Google this long to monetise image search, but it makes sense because so many users take a visually-led focus when it comes to picking out a product to buy."

Marcus Knight:

"I think the channel will fit really nicely into the early awareness and consideration stages of the conversion process, as I expect users who are using image search are not necessarily looking for websites to visit, but images of a range of products to compare."

Image ads could become a powerful new tool

What Ruth and Marcus are of course picking up on is the power of imagery across ecommerce, from retailer websites, to Instagram and Pinterest particularly.

Viewed in this light, PLA ads in image search could become a powerful new tool.

Will Critchlow, founder of Distilled, agrees that there's much to learn in this area of the SERPs, but much to be positive about:

Pending seeing how this actually performs, I'm quite positive on this. Image search has been hobbled as a driver of organic traffic since the major overhaul a couple of years back, and we know that Pinterest and Instagram have made visual ads work.

Could Google combine the emotional connection of image ads with the targeted intent of search? Who knows, but I think it's an interesting experiment where visual and commercial searches intersect.

Instagram

But advertisers should keep on eye on CTR and CVR

The loudest note of caution, as usual with PPC, surrounds the implementation and testing of this feature by advertisers.

Ben Latham of Summit Media welcomed the new extenstion for retailers but warned they "need to be careful to measure campaign performance as click-through rate and conversion rate could be negatively affected due to the mindset of the customer in the image area of search."

This echoes Marcus Knight's earlier comments about PLA image search as most useful during the awareness and consideration stages.

And don't forget retargeting through PLAs

There will be doubts about Google image search's ability to drive sales (not just awareness) in ecommerce until results come through.

However, we shouldn't forget that remarketing lists for search ads (RLSAs) work with PLAs, and therefore retailers will be able to retarget customers who have visited their site with PLAs in image search.

Marcus Knight of 4Ps Marketing makes this point, saying we should be "making the most of remarketing capabilities to ensure we are following up with users who are showing initial intent through image search."

That means image search could come into the mix as a useful recapture channel, as well as targeting new customers.

Could Google monetise image search beyond PLAs?

David Trolle of Summit Media poses an important question - is this just the initial foray of advertising into Google image search?

Although not impacted at this stage, this change is most likely an indication of Google's future intent to monetise image listings within the natural search space, in the same way that shopping listings were moved to a paid-for format (PLAs).

Will image ads become an option for all PPC advertisers, not just those buying Google Shopping ads? Will all of Google's natural search gradually become more image-led if proven to increase CTR?

That's another topic that Jon Earnshaw, CTO Pi Datametrics, discussed at Brighton SEO last month. Let's have a look...

More books (where did kitty go?)

Just like the last canonical example, we're looking at Waterstones again.

The chart below shows the Google search ranking (using the term 'Test Your Cat') of a book product page on the Waterstones' website.

As you can see, kitty falls off a cliff (around the 9th of January) when suddenly the page drops from being ranked in the top five to being 100+ in the pecking order.

There were plenty of other examples of this behaviour, too. Dozens of them in fact.

Below is another chart showing this effect for the book 'The Establishment'. The Waterstones product page ranks well, then 'disappears' at the end of January.

So, let's look at what else might be ranking in place of these pages.

Who is bumping kitty and why?

Within the Pi Datametrics tool, the team pulled out the top 10 ranking URLs on the day that our 'Test Your Cat' Waterstones product page dropped out of the top 100 so suddenly.

The table below shows a Harper Collins product listing ranked at number two position for 'Test Your Cat'.

This Harper Collins page had recently jumped 99 places in the results pages (SERPs), according to the number in green.

Compare Harper Collins on a chart alongside Waterstones and you get the image below.

The chart shows the rise of the Harper Collins's ranking for 'Test Your Cat' against the demise of the Waterstones site's ranking for the same term.

It's hard to deny they seem linked.

The same pattern emerges when we look at The Establishment.

At the moment Waterstones drops out of the top 100 rankings, a Penguin page rises 99 places in the SERPs to number seven.

A similar chart demonstrates this crossover below. Time for further investigation.

Product descriptions - it's important to stand out

Comparing the Test Your Cat product pages of Waterstones and Harper Collins reveals identical synopses.

This is no doubt 'seen' as very similar content by Google, which 'decides' to rank one and demote the other.

With the Penguin book, it also seems to be product descriptions causing the problem.

The paperback description was edited to include additional endorsements for the book, which already appeared on The Waterstones product page.

This made the two product descriptions identical and caused the same effect, where Google ranked one page and demoted the other.

In both these examples, it's not entirely surprising that Penguin and Harper Collins out-ranked Waterstones - after all they are the publishers of the two titles in question.

Nevertheless, Waterstones wanted to address the problem and start ranking again by creating some unique content.

How to solve the problem?

The team spent a number of hours crafting new product descriptions for some of these affected titles.

The result? All higher search positions were reinstated or bettered by the pages in question.

Below is a chart showing the recovery of rankings for four affected titles.

Waterstones was also reinstated into Google's knowledge panel for 'Test Your Cat', which displays Waterstones' average review rating.

The takeaway

The message here from Pi Datametrics' analysis is to keep an eye on others who are using your content.

If this means partnerships with third parties, make sure you have a process in place that ensures no duplication.

If the content is from your competitor, use data to find out who and address the problem.

More importantly, nailing your core business terms will help you stay ahead.

Some background

For those new to canonical tags, you can read some background here.

The tags act to prevent lots of pages being indexed, instead of just one main page.

One of the common uses of canonicals is in ecommerce on category pages, where many versions of the URL exist, but the retailer only wants to rank for retailer.com/shirts, for example.

Let's look at another example in ecommerce - competing product pages - with the help of Pi Datametrics, who investigated this issue at Waterstones, presenting findings at Brighton SEO last month.

Waterstones - hardback versus softback

Pi Datametrics took a look at Waterstones' search performance for certain novel titles.

The chart below shows a Waterstones' product page (The Bone Clocks in Hardback) and its highest daily position for a search term ('The Bone Clocks').

As you can see, performance is patchy, with regular drops from the top 10 to way down the SERPs (100+).

So, what is causing this flux?

Looking at a second chart showing the rankings of two Waterstones' pages (this time both the hardback and the paperback), a pattern emerges.

When the ranking of the hardback URL (in pink) drops off, the paperback URL (in yellow) can sometimes be seen to take its place.

So, how to stop this ranking switching?

The canonical book

Of course, popular books have many versions - hardback, paperback, special editions, audio, e-book and so on, often with reviews sitting on different web pages, too.

Perhaps what Waterstones needs to do to ensure consistently high ranking for this term, 'The Bone Clocks', is to choose a 'canonical book'.

Pi Datametrics illustrates this in the following diagram, with canonical tags on newer editions pointing back to the original book's URL (and eventually the paperback, which will be the default canonical).

The canonical book will also reciprocally link with the other formats (that need to rank separately), such as audio and e-book.

Did it work?

Waterstones did indeed implement this 'canonical book' approach.

And the chart below speaks for itself. Lovely, consistent top 10 results for Waterstones when searching for 'The Bone Clocks' (from November onwards).

The paperback URL (yellow) is always the product page that ranks highest, and in doing so it leaves fewer gaps that the competition can exploit.

This is a really clear and simple demonstration of the need for canonical tags for certain products that have multiple versions, which then affect Google ranking performance.

Thanks to Jon Earnshaw who discussed this case study at Brighton SEO for Pi Datametrics.

As part of the same presentation, Jon looked at how similar product pages from competitors can scupper search performance and how you can combat this.

Watch this space and we'll look at this sister study in my next post.
 tag:econsultancy.com,2008:BlogPost/67740 2016-04-29T16:16:16+01:00 2016-04-29T16:16:16+01:00 Five things Western brands should know about China's digital landscape Jeff Rajeck
The reason for this is that China's commerce and cultural norms are vastly different from those in the West.

Brands that have successfully launched in multiple Western countries may think they know what they are doing when launching in China. It's just another country, right?

Unfortunately not. For many reasons, China is unique. Because of these quirks, entering its market requires special attention from Western brands to stand a chance of being successful.

To help brand marketers start to think about how to enter China, Econsultancy is publishing quarterly China reports to cover the digital players, trends, and insights about the country.

Below are a few key points from our first report, The China Digital Report, Q1 2016.

China has the largest single-country presence on the internet

It is well-known that China has the largest population of any country on earth, but what may not be so obvious is that China now has the largest population on the internet.

According to Internet Live Stats, China now has over 720m internet users which is more than 20% of the global total.

The nearest competing country is India which, with 462m users, has less than two-thirds of the Chinese internet population.

In third place is the US which now makes up less than 10% of internet users, globally.

China's lead in internet population size is significant as we can now expect digital innovations, especially regarding scale, to originate in China and flow westwards.

This is happening already, to some extent, with WeChat (see below).

China's online population is still growing

Another thing to keep in mind when considering China's presence on the internet is that only around 50% of the Chinese population is online.

That is, there are a lot of people in the country who are not yet 'digital' at all.

Compare this with the US and other Western nations who achieved that level in the early 2000s and seem to be peaking at around 85-90% penetration.

In other words, China's influence on the internet is on the rise and the Western domination of the internet may be coming to an end.

This is important for brand marketers to note because as more Chinese come online, the Chinese market will only rise in importance and sophistication.

Western firms, therefore, need to acknowledge that China's digital economy is now on par with the West and, in some cases, may even be ahead.

It's prudent, then, for brands to become familiar with how Chinese firms operate in their own market now to prepare for the future.

WeChat is the runaway success story

Many Western sites are blocked by the Great Firewall of China (see our previous China post for details) which means that China has its own version of many digital services.

One service in particular, the social network WeChat, has been more successful than all of the others.

WeChat has enjoyed growth rates of around 50% year-over-year in 2014 and 2015 after blistering triple-digit year-over-year growth in 2012 and 2013.

One reason for this growth is that WeChat continuously innovates its core product, offering new ways for users to integrate the app into their daily lives.

Though it isn't the largest social network in China (QQ has more monthly active users) WeChat is the fastest-growing social network and the most dominant, culturally.

In brief, if your brand is interested in breaking into China, start by researching what you can do on WeChat.

Baidu is the 800-pound gorilla of search and more

When reviewing the relative size of search engines in China by visitors, it seems that China has multiple, competing search engines each with significant market share.

But when search engines are measured by revenue, a very different picture emerges.

Clealy Baidu is the search leader in China with more than six times the market share of its largest competitor, Google China.

Another thing to note is that Baidu has an even greater cultural presence in China than Google does in the West.

Besides search and other services like maps also offered by Google, Baidu also operates China's most popular encyclopedia, an ecommerce platform, a gaming platform, and even a food delivery service.

According to Andrew Ng, Baidu's chief scientist in Silicon Valley, these additional services exist because, unlike in the West, other companies had not built them.

He states in a recent interview:

In the US, we search for a movie ticket and Google or Bing could send you to Fandango and off you go. In China, that website we could send you to, it doesn't exist. We [Baidu] have to build it ourselves.

So for brands who are looking to launch services in China, be sure to check that the market isn't already served by Baidu or another Chinese heavyweight company.

Google and China... it's complicated

Google has a complicated and interesting history with China. Until 2010, Google China was one of the most popular sites in China and had a 29% market share, according to research firm Analysys International.

Following a disagreement with the Chinese government about censoring search results in 2010, though, Google effectively pulled out of China.

What happened next is slightly confusing. Google relocated to Hong Kong (which, yes, is still China) and has 79% search market share there, according to StatCounter.

This is possible because Hong Kong effectively has a different government than the one in mainland China.

Google.cn, as per the image above, redirects all users to Google.com.hk.

Reports indicate that Google search results are not being censored in Hong Kong and that Google China still has significant revenue from Hong Kong, though still far short of what it was six years ago.

To add to this confusing story, it seems that Google will re-enter mainland China in 2016.

The company will only offer the Google app store, Google Play, and will not link to its international Google Play site.

Instead, the company aims to consolidate the hundreds of independent Android app stores that have proliferated since it left nearly six years ago.

So...

China offers many benefits for brands who are able to crack the market, but doing so is proving to be quite difficult for many Western companies.

To get started, it helps to know that the internet has now reached critical mass in China, that different companies dominate search and social there, and that there are other quirks which are not obvious from a Western perspective.

Econsultancy subscribers can read more about China in The China Digital Report, Q1 2016 and look forward to quarterly updates later this year.

Blogs HNN VALUES - THE COUNTRY WE WANT TO LIVE INNov 28, 2004 3:50 pm
Much has been written about the current debate over values. I wrote about our game of Othello and here are the editors of the The Jerusalem Post chiming in ever so correctly:
If war is hell, then war against terrorists is an even deeper form of damnation. It is easy to minimize but difficult to imagine the demands on young soldiers who must fight an enemy that deliberately camouflages itself as civilians, and even uses civilians as human shields. Israeli soldiers have learned to trust no one. At one checkpoint, soldiers died because they rushed to assist a woman who seemed to be pregnant and fainting, but who turned out to be a suicide bomber. Children have been caught planting bombs and wearing suicide bomb belts. Even ambulances have been used to ferry weapons and terrorists. The tremendous difficulties, however, do not excuse any failure to do what can be done to avoid killing non-combatants, particularly children. A company commander has been indicted in connection with suspicions that he" confirmed the kill" of a young girl... Our objective, however, should not be to meet international standards that seem to only exist for us, but to meet our own standards for the country we want to be. We want to be a country in which every soldier, and certainly our company commanders and generals, regard ethical standards as an integral part of how they measure themselves and their military effectiveness... A soldier or commander who improvises his own open-fire regulations or gratuitously humiliates Palestinians at a roadblock should be seen as failing himself, his unit, his country and the cause he is fighting for.

i hate racist bastards
This album was by far the best southern hip hop album, to me, of all times. It just oozed Southern Baptist straight outta the choir to the street and kicking it. It had it all. Not 1 track needs to be skipped when you are playing this.
There were the first group to put the south on the map. "Southernplayalisticadill acmuzik" show that they have the lyrics and the beats to compete with NY and CA. One of the best debut albums to ever come out.
