Nearly 3 years ago there were talks about Universal Search (see Search Engine Land article from 5/16/07) and over the years we have seen some changes in search results such as Google Local, Videos in search results, some shopping engine feeds, news feeds, etc.

Last night I was doing some research for AllIceCreamCoupons.com and I was pleasantly surprised when I did a search for ice cream and saw the results below:

If you try this search yourself in Google you will see:

- A twitter stream in search results

- Google Local (google map) in search results

- Imagines in search results

- News feed in search results

- Book results in search results

This is a great example of how Universal Search is improving!

As reported by The Domains, below is a list of 44 of the 500 .cm domains that went to auction.

FreePorn.cm topped every list selling for $13,700.

Following are the domains we have record of, and of course over 90% of the domains that sold are missing  (assuming the other 450 domains sold for even $500 on average, probably low, there is over $300K in sales)

Hotels.cm sells for $81k

EZMoney.com sold yesterday at NameJet.com for $22,044…..
And as pointed out by TheDomains.com:

“Also no one seems to be bothered by this statement on the site for ezmoneypaydayloans.com, which clearly states:
EZPAWN® and EZMONEY® are federally registered trademarks of EZCORP, Inc.”

Many things come into play with social media such as reputation, credibility, longevity, number of responses, frequency of activity, delivering helpful and useful info as opposed to self-serving info, etc., etc.

How do you accomplish this?  With a strategic Internet marketing plan that outlines a plan for social media optimization and marketing.

We have executed a “Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Eat Breakfast in the Morning” and by simply using our Digg power account, we drove 26,000 unique visitors to a website in one day…the POWER of social media!!  It does work well when done right!

Just read a great article this morning entitled: 5 Essentials for Social Media Marketing

I came across an awesome Domain Sales Research Tool tonight – NameBio.com

I can tell you from first hand experience that Teamwork + Passion = SUCCESS!

Finding the RIGHT people isn’t always so easy…I think this plays towards the Entrepreneur vs. Worker-bee
