A few days ago Google increased the size of the font for the adwords adverts down the side of their search results. This is good news for advertisers as there ads stand out that bit more but sadly it does show the Google is paying more and more attention to money.

Naturally they have shareholders to please now so more clicks on paying advertisers ads than search results would be a good thing hey.

Still, some advertisers are reporting a higher CTR (Click Through Rate) which is great for them.

Google released a selection of software today thats free to download and naturally are all affilaited with Google in some way.

Check it out at: http://pack.google.com/pack/pack_installer.html.

If you haven’t used Picasa yet you ought to give it a go, it’s one of the best photo organisers I’ve ever come across and it’s free! Also they give you a free 6 month subscription to Norton Antivirus which is pretty good.

Two facilities Google has just launched that you may not yet be aware of are Google Music Search and Google Video Search.

The music search is great if you want a quick way to get a track listing for a particular artists Album plus of course there are links for you to buy it.

The video search is great and if you like a laugh check out the most popular video searched for - ever seen a guy hit by 140 paintballs, oooowwwwww.
