Lots of posts overnight about Google's research from Millward Brown on how it is more effective than B2B trade magazines. The one I have liked the best so far is at ABM's MediaPace : Setting the pace for business-to-business dialogue: Google research -- search vs. print?.
My view on this is that the argument that search is a more effective first step in a purchasing research process than browsing magazines is a no-brainer. Of course it is! But whether those ads themselves are more effective and whether they serve the same purpose as the ads in business magazines is much more open to question.
And I am intrigued by the argument that Google is not siphoning revenues at all but acting as an ad agency. The success of that argument depends, I suppose, on the extent to which searchers are still going to use home pages at the traditional media companies rather than Google's own or web-only sites.
In Asia, where B2B ad revenues are so relatively low to start with, all is still to play for.

Google vs. B2B?

If you want to find nice discounts on any Breitling, start first by using your preferred search engine to help you narrow your search. Next, quickly sift through your search results by verifying that you are dealing with a legitimate online jeweler. You can do this by confirming their business license and incorporation status with their state website. Then you need to run checks on them through the Better Business Bureau and the Consumer Affairs and RipOffReport websites. This helps you avoid shady jewelry dealers and makers of replica watches. One of the things I hate are the companies that pawn Navitimer Watches off as the real deal to unsuspecting buyers. Taking these steps helps you top avoid that costly mistake and subsequent headache.
Once you've targeted a number of reputable online jewelers, your next step is to compare prices. When you shop online you can save over twenty five percent on Navitimer World. One watch that is popular and is found for much cheaper online than in stores is the Montbrillant Datora.
