Before we jump into conclusions, take a look at the search result. A simple search for “Google Instant” would not show up anything about Google Instant at all.

Google Instant is super fast and it takes the search experience to another level, and I agree to what Marissa Meyer said – Google Instant is a “New shift in Search”.

But I sincerely wish if they did something similar to the search results in improving them.

The reality is that while Google team worked on improving the search user experience, there is no improvement on the index part. So SEOwise there is no change at all in the way Google works.

Google is planning something cool for sure, or that’s what we’re able to learn from all the doodle stories. With Google’s birthday round the corner, techies expect a nice surprise, (especially with that never before changing color doodle thing).

TNW has published this new Google tool that is ridiculously fast and probably gives a peep into what’s going to come up. Check it here.

Its a tool that displays search lightening fast as you type in to the text space. The search modifies based on Google suggestions as and when you type/edit. Very impressive.

I have an intuition (from the Google doodle’s and everything) that this update if at all, is going to be about speed and improving the search experience altogether. Let’s wait and watch.

The interesting thing about memes are that they hit a huge spike on the popularity charts and before even realizing what they were, they vanish. But that’s the fun part of it. The sad part is that not all the time can you find where it all started.

The latest memes and viral concepts on the internet this week are here.

1. Leonardo Di Caprio Happy Strut

This meme involves a picture of Leonardo Di Caprio, walking in a happy mood, with something disastrous happening in the background. There are several images around the internet that shows Leo’s Happy strut with something disastrous in the background. Le’s face expression is obviously funny and the combination of something sad in the background and the “I don’t give a f***” attitude on Leo’s face is the whole idea about. Apparently the funny picture was taken during the shooting days of “Inception” . Here are some examples.

Leonardo – Mac v/s PC Ad

2. "Sometimes I Just Want To Copy Someone Else’s Status, Word For Word, And See If They Notice."

There was this bizzare viral thing happening where the same status update got copy-pasted over and over profiles for some strange reason. It all started with Twitter user Tim Waters (@tim_waters), a "freelance geo fella" per his Twitter bio of Leeds, U.K. , who tweeted the sentence at 10:42 a.m. EST. From then many copy-pasted the status for its self-referencing nature and it went viral, as confirmed on Tech Crunch.

3. Prancing Cera

This is a Photoshop meme based on a photograph taken by film director Edgar Wright of actor Cera, while in Norway. The image shows him jumping mid air among docks in a funny way. The image got photoshopped into many instances, where he’s seen jumping around things. Very similar to the Leo Strut meme. Here are some examples.

So you have a fan page for your website/product and there are several people who “like” it. And you have this event to which you want to invite them to. Assuming your “supporters” are from around the world, it might be irrelevant to send an email to everyone in the list. Because all of them are not in one location.

So how do you send an email to everyone in your Facebook page ?

This is fairly simple.

1 – Go to your facebook fan page, click on Edit button right below your avatar.

2 – Click on “Send an Update”

I wonder why its not called “Message everyone”, anyways…

Type your message and send to all.

Now, if you’d like to send the message/update to selected users from particular locations, then facebook lets you do it, the following way.

3. Select “Target this update”

Now, an array of options pop up, with options such as – Location, Sex, and Age limit.

So if you want to send a message to all the guys in NY, who’re your fans, and between the age limit of 20-25, you could easily do that.

This is one of the things I love about Facebook fan pages. Now, you make use of it.

What are Google Instream Video Ads ?

InVideo advertising is a distribution method for any ad format where the ad is shown within the physical screen space of a video stream: in the video. A video stream is a media content object embedded into a webpage that plays a content provider’s video.

InVideo ads may appear in multiple formats, but all of them appear before, during, or after a live streaming video within the same screen space as the video stream itself. These ads are not the major content object on the page where they appear, but they are tied to a major content object: the streaming video with which they appear. InVideo ads are therefore relevant to the page where they appear and relevant to the content of the actual video stream.

The Doubts

When Instream video ads were out, many, including me looked at them with skeptic eyes for a simple reason. Video ads were mainly distractions. When you watch a video, all your attention is on the content, and anything that comes in between you and the video is primarily distraction. Remember those text ads that appear in videos ? The CTR ratio for them are extremely low. But there is a clause.

The contextual nature of the content. According to Google, the in-stream video ads campaign focusing on Nevada winter sports resulted in over 8 million views from its target demographic. Furthermore, the in-stream ads resulted in a 33 percent increase in consideration of Nevada as a vacation destination among its target audience in its 7 selected markets.

Now, that’s an great achievement. Keep in mind that this campaign ran for an year through Google Instream Video Ads.

How to create Instream Video Ads ?

Google Instream Video Ads have proven their effectiveness with this campaign. What we got to figure out are the specific metrics that resulted in this success. The travel industry is a gold mine when it comes to opportunities in Advertising. But clearly, one success story does not declare that everyone else can repeat the same.
