SEO News: Trending Today Osama Bin Laden is Dead…or is He?

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

By now you have heard of this news – Osama Bin Laden is dead – is it true?

The video of US President Obama who addressed the nation late Sunday night is even trending across the country today as well as the rest of the week, I’m sure. This is another perfect example of the power of trending topics. Will there be future “sightings” of Osama in the coming weeks and months?

We don’t want to pass judgement nor validity of the news, but news such as this as well as the Taco Bell meat accusation can be very powerful – both in a positive and negative light. Be careful of what you write online!

According to Mashable, after attempting to buy out Groupon with a $6-billion offer and failing, Google has now decided to launch its own competing service. Google just announced that the company will be creating their own brand of online coupons for local deals called Google Offers.

The service will send subscribers a daily email with deals in their neighborhood with a time limit on when they can use the coupon. Then like just like Groupon, after enough people sign up, the deal is triggered and users get a $10 for $20 deal.

Google Offers also includes sharing options through Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader, Google Buzz and email. According to the article, Google has been trying to attract businesses to participate in Offers and even has a writing team ready to create the write-up for the different offers.

According to Fox8.com, major search engine, Google, just announced that the company is shifting co-founder Larry Page to CEO and former CEO, Eric Schmidt, technology veteran who’s responsible for Google’s “adult supervision,” to executive chairman. According to the article, the change-up is due to Schmidt’s desire to take on other challenges in the company as well as Page’s personal ambition to reclaim the CEO job that he previously held for three years.

“My goal is to run Google at the pace and with the soul and passion of a start-up,” said Page in a recent interview according to Fox 8. “I think I will have time to do that given the way we have split up our responsibilities.”

The new job titles will take effect on April 4, 2011. Google currently has a market value of over $200 billion and has grown to a company with over 24,000 employees, a success that has made both Page and Schmidt multi-billionaires and some of the wealthiest people in the world. Do you think this change will effect search engine optimization in any way?
