Google Ads to Require Verification, But Implementation Will Take Years They Say
PALM BEACH, FL – According to the horse’s mouth, the Google Ads advertising program, responsible for about 40% of the total advertising seen online, will be rolling out a new feature which will allow users to see exactly who is behind an advertisement, while requiring businesses to verify their legal status in their state through documentation such as articles of incorporation, in order to purchase ads throughout the platforms reach.

Keep In Mind, New gTLD “Buzz Factor” SEO Ranking Weakens Over Time; Use Best URL
PALM BEACH, FL – About a year and half ago in April of 2018, I wrote about an out-of-the-ordinary domain name sale when the new gTLD domain “Vacation.Rentals” changed hands for a little over ‘half a million’ in cash, supposedly.

Why Investigations Into Google’s Search, Ad & Android Businesses Will Go Nowhere
PALM BEACH, NY – It seems like every day there is a brand new, squeaky clean investigation (or at least some accusations) into our good-ole’ friends at Google Inc., and Alphabet Inc. Swirling stories of lawsuits and federal inquiries into a company that is so large, so big, it’s almost such that you could consider them, “too big to fail” – how familiar.
