Social Media Marketing Watch

This post is direct result of my previous one where in I have explained various types of search result links (SRLs) Google provide within its search result pages.

While elaborating Google map links within SERPs, I accidentally stumbled upon an cool idea that can surely be another revenue platform for Google -Google map inAds: displaying Google Ads or other advertising right inside Google map.

One will now see paid ads from merchants in the Google map in and arou d the location of the websites being shown in the search results, advertising merchants’ services such as car rent, pick-up/delivery services, hotels, restaurants- in case you visit the business and want to have a meeting place near-by the office etc

This is how it will work. You search for say “web development companies” and found a Map link to one of the site’s business address. You visit the website and find it interesting; you then look for the direction in the map link. Around the location balloon, you will see various other balloons signifying additional business listings from merchants advertising their services such as Car rent- in case you want to hire a car to reach the service provider’s office, restaurtans to book a table for few members or hotel links where in you can book your stay online after confirming your visit to your vendor’s office.

There are whole lots of businesses that can be matched to show-up on the map. May be a souvenir or corporate gift shop to bring back some gifts or buy gifts to present your clients respectively; a massage parlor to relax you after a hard days work .  HowZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
