Google is one big liar So they claimed

Kent — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:21:58 +0000

1. Not only Google, but other 34 companies are hacked at the same time
Since when companies report to Google when they are hacked?
Why there is no list of these “other” 34 companies?

2. Over 20 accounts belonged to human rights activists were hacked.
Was there a “Human Rights Activist” option under occupation when you sign up with Gmail?
Since when any company know what their customers do at their free time?

3. The hackers used a weakness in Internet Explorer.
Well I am not professional, but I am “expert” enough to know web (servers) do not use Windows based Operating Systems, let alone “Internet Explorer”.
What does a weakness of my front door locker have anything to do with the theft of your SUV?

4. Google traced the origin of hacking to two Chinese schools. Shanghai Jiaotong University and the Lancing Vocational School, who train computer technicians for the Chinese military.

Ok, Lancing(lanxiang) Vocational School is a high school level institution. In China, only the top 1/3 middle school graduates are allowed into high school. Those who can’t get into high school will go to this kind of institution which train hairdressers, cooks, etc. low level professions.
All Chinese educational institutions would be on vocation during the time of hacking. Because of Chinese New Year, the winter break in China comes later than in the U.S.

You know what I am thinking?
The U.S. needs anti-China propaganda on daily basis. So this is just another one of the daily drink for drones. Google CEO was cooperative because it is a chance to give Google more media attention.

Boost Online Sales with Google Checkout

Kent — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 08:04:35 +0000

Do you remember way back when the Internet was new and it seemed scary to buy things online? The fear of identity fraud and other security violations was very real, especially when horror stories were broadcast all over the news and spreading like wildfire.

Despite all this, there are now over 1.25 billion Internet users around the globe, so the sky is the limit for online retailers who can do a good job of catering to their target market’s needs.

If you’re already selling products on the Net, then you are probably well aware that credibility is KING with consumers in the information age. People (whether consciously or unconsciously) are constantly looking for little security checkpoints in a site that tell them “Not to worry…your money is safe being spent here.”

How can you be sure that your visitors feel safe buying from your site? That’s a multiple answer question, but some of the lowest hanging fruit in terms of establishing your online checkout credibility is using common identifiers that people can recognize, like PayPal, VeriSign, and especially a trustworthy checkout process like Google Checkout.

My fellow PPC‘er, Page Christenbury, suggested Google Checkout to one of her Ecommerce clients, and you can see the positive results it had on CTR, Transactions, and Revenue practically overnight…

1. What is it and how much does it cost…

Google Checkout is exactly what its name implies – according to Google, “a fast, secure checkout process that helps increase sales by bringing you more customers and allowing them to buy from you quickly and easily with a single log-in.”

Google Checkout is not completely free to use, but you don’t have to pay any fees up front or on a recurring basis and it’s totally comparable to most payment processing services. You only pay a small fee per transaction as outlined below:

2. How can it help you…

Google Checkout can help you in 3 main ways:

A. Acquire more visitors.
According to Google’s calculations, people who use Google Checkout click 10% more on ads containing the Google Checkout logo.
- Mission A, accomplished.

B. Bring in more sales.
Brace yourself… What does your current conversion ratio look like? How does a 40% gain sound? Google says, “A fast, convenient checkout process helps Google Checkout users convert 40% more than shoppers who have not used Checkout before.”
- Awesome.

C. Curb fraud.
Google has set up its checkout program to not only protect the visitor, but you, the seller as well: “Checkout’s Payment Guarantee protects 98% of Checkout orders on average – when an order is guaranteed, you get paid even if it results in a chargeback.”
- Alright!

3. What Are You Waiting For…

Three Easy Steps (except possibly #2, for which you might need your webmaster’s help):

1. Create a Google Checkout Account
2. Pick an integration option to get Checkout on your site
3. Start selling once it’s integrated with your site!

Story About Why Baidu Could Beat Google In China

Kent — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:08:50 +0000

I konw it’s attractive, I hope you like it.

I’m a SEM people, I work both in baidu and in google.

At the beginning, I made lots of chinese weibsites, I can feel the technology and the level of both baidu and google.

I can say the baidu’s technology is far away from google, and it’s truth.

SO THE QUESTION IS: why the Google with great technology can not beat baidu in china?

This topic must be talked about for many years, but it’s my perspective for the development of chinese business, not only internet, but also other business in china.

Mainly I think it’s two parts, one is for the public relation(PR), but not only public, but also private relation, it’s said Baidu’s PR team can spread the baidu good news all over the chinese internet within 5 minutes.

Can you believe it? FIVE mintues

That means, anything bad about baidu they can also delete it within 5 minutes.

and it’s also said baidu’s PR team(group) is the second best PR team in china, with more than 500 people inside.

and you can see totally how many google people in china?

Another mainly thing is about the product, the community named tieba, and also the MP3, the zhidao

tieba.baidu.com

mp3.baidu.com

zhidao.baidu.com

and there are lots of similar communities around baidu.

It’s stupid though, but it’s useful to get the mainland chinese people, because many chinese people mainland are still not so educated, they just need a simple thing to get what they need, they don’t need technology, they just want to download, to talk, to play in the community.

In china, it’s simple.

So if you want to do business, remember two things, one is the relationship(GuanXi), the other is simple and easy to understand.

China Disables Some Google Functions

Kent — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:29:56 +0000

If Google was banned in china? where shall we go to use the gmail? gtalk? adsense? blogger? Greader? etc… Now almost everything I used on internet are related with google, so what it should be soon?

and in fact, in baidu you can also search the pornographic and vulgar content in chinese, I don’t konw what happened and why it is google…

News from newyorktimes

The Chinese government disabled some search functions on the Chinese-language Web site of Google on Friday, saying the site was linking too often to pornographic and vulgar content.

Government officials met with managers of the Chinese operations of Google on Thursday afternoon to warn them that the company would be punished if it did not remove the offending material from the Web site, according to a report on Friday by Xinhua, the state news agency.

Earlier Thursday, a government-supported Internet watchdog group, the China Internet Illegal Information Reporting Center, criticized the search engine for its erotic content and threatened punishment by the government. It said Google had already been warned twice, in January and April, about its content.

On Friday evening, the associative-word feature of the Web site appeared to have been disabled. That is the function that displays a drop-down menu of words related to a search word that is typed into the search engine. The previous evening, reporters on China Central Television, the state television network, showed how typing in the Chinese word for son, erzi, could pull up associated terms that have lewd connotations.

State news organizations said the ability to use Google’s Chinese site to search overseas Web sites was supposed to have been disabled, but that feature was working Friday evening.

Google released a statement saying it was making greater efforts to clean up its Chinese Web site. “We have been continually working to deal with pornographic content, and material that is harmful to children, on the Web in China,” the statement said
