I really don’t like west coast time. The east coast has a 3 hour jump on you and you always feel like you’re playing catch-up.
Fortunately, the news today is good, but not earth-shattering. Here are today’s Picks:
- If you’ve not turned on SSL in your Gmail account, you might want to do so, before these hackers have their wicked way.
- Google hopes to earn some good will from political bloggers by hosting a "Big Tent" blogger facility at the Democratic and Republican conventions.
- Microsoft is hoping that recently acquired Powerset will also help advertisers better place their ads.
- WebTrends Ad Director launches at SES this week and offers to improve the performance of search ads.
- I’m a new fan of Google’s Website Optimizer and it just got better, with new features.
- SEL has links to all the coverage from day two of SES San Jose.

ref Powerset: today more than ever advertisers seem to understand that the CPM model may not be doing them any favor and they need a very precise targeting to ensure every cent goes towards a conversion of some sort. The CPC and CPE models are certainly a better fit for that purpose but having them integrated into what Powerset tries to offer will probably be a very very complicated and lengthy process.

This is why I still try to study up on black, blue, grey and whitehat techniques. Whether I use them or not.
