Google Launches Trusted Stores Program

Yesterday, Google launched a new program – Google Trusted Sites. The program, which is aimed at reducing the risks associated with online shopping, will help consumers locate online stores that provide excellent customer service. Tom Fallows, a product manager for the Google Commerce Team said the following: “The Google Trusted Store badge is awarded to e-commerce sites that demonstrate a track record of on-time shipping and excellent customer service. When visiting a qualifying store, shoppers can hover over the Google Trusted Store badge and see metrics on the store’s shipping and customer service performance.” Currently, Google is testing the Trusted Sites program with several initial test partners including: O.co ,  Wayfair ,  BabyAge.com , and  Beach Audio . Over the next several months, Google will perform extensive testing of the badges and other aspects of the program to determine the overall impact of the new program on the test sites.

HOW TO: Leverage LinkedIn for Your SEO Campaign

Erin Everhart is the director of web and social media marketing at the digital marketing and web design company, 352 Media Group . Connect with her on Twitter  @erinever . There are two ways to conquer web marketing: good content and even better relationships. The problem is, any SEO pro has already identified this. Try targeting blogs as link resources. Not only do  people trust blogs , they’re one of the most effective ways to both build your brand awareness and get high-quality content links that point back to your website. On the other hand, blogs are often overrun with coverage and link requests from online marketers.

Let’s say you’re working on an SEO strategy for a new restaurant in Atlanta. Part of your promotion is to encourage different local food bloggers to tour the re...

Google UK Shopping Displaying US Results?

There are recent complaints at  WebmasterWorld  that Google Shopping / Product Search in the UK is showing way too many U.S. based stores. One Google Merchant said: I'm seeing this more and more recently. If I do a search for something (I'm based in the UK and using google.co.uk searching 'the web' rather than just UK results), I used to see primarily UK-based results - especially if the search was product/shopping based. Now I'm seeing lots of US sites in the results, and as a user it's very frustrating. From a webmaster's point of view it's also highly frustrating. The question is if this is a temporary situation or if Google has truly lost the plot in terms of some of the results it's showing. Many other webmasters confirmed seeing the same issue. I personally cannot replicate the issue, but maybe that is because either it is fixed or I am searching on the wrong words? Do you find this to be an issue? Forum discussion at  We...

HOW TO: Reduce the Spam in Your Inbox, Mailbox and Voicemail

Pretty much anyone — man, woman or child — has at some point received an email telling them they weren’t sufficiently endowed. This is spam, and it sucks. Spam is one of the Internet constants that comes with being a digital citizen, but it extends into our analog lives as well. Have an email account, mailbox or phone number? You’ve probably received unsolicited or unwanted messages and promotions from magazines, companies, strangers, etc. hoping to grab your attention. There are dozens of origin stories for how “spam” got its name. Spam was first the name of a food product better known for being gross than for being “ham.” It got a bad reputation for it’s bland taste, cheap price and presumably low-quality contents. Some say it’s those qualities which made “spam” the apt nickname for the low-quality, nondescript messages that fill up our inboxes — digital and otherwise. It has since taken on several less-than-kind acronyms such as “Sales Promotion and Marketing,” “Short...
