Is there a way to package that up and embed it into your website so that it becomes a valuable part of a webpage… or do you just have to send them over to Google Earth?

In fact, Google expresses a strong opposition toward duplicate content. Google filters out websites with duplicate content by using the Supplemental Index of its database. The GoogleBot crawls websites and looks for similar strings and content among the pages. It then eliminates websites with duplicate content by getting only a fraction from this collection.

Trent, if you’re dealing with the real estate agencies, then you can convince them to use the Google Street View to investigate the current real estate.

Let’s take an example. If a rental is about to rent an apartment, but he/she didn’t have time go to the place and survey the apartment themselves, then the real estate company can provide the “Google Street View” service to the client and let them observe the whole apartment and its neighborhood through the online camera!

Wilson,

I know how to “use” Google Street View… what I don’t know is how to use it, on behalf of my customers, to enhance their website or online presence… any thoughts there? Trent

How come no one wants to speak about the new Bing search engine site that has been launched by Microsoft, it is being hailed as Microsoft’s latest attempt to eat into Google’s market share of the search engine business.

Ok so i have tried Bing and frankly the results for me aren’t so impressive so I continue to use Google for my search.

Comment on Online Marketing Data for Summer Travelers 2009 by Boavista

Thanks for the stats, especially:

“Traveler spends 2.6 weeks researching and the booking window is 15.5 weeks.

30% of travel buyers spend less than a week researching, 20% take two weeks, 50% three weeks and above.”

Although its a difficult year for travel, marketing budgets should be invested (not cut) in getting exposure at the early stages and late stages of the buying cycle.
