Marketing and PR "Food for Thought"
 

food for thoughtBuying Another Company's Trademark As a Keyword in Your AdWords Campaign

Several prominent newspapers are covering the story of American Airlines lawsuit against Google over search words.

It's a fascinating case where American Airlines accuses Google of violating trademark laws with its practice of selling search terms such as "American Airlines" to other companies for advertising.

Here is what's going on. Do a Google search for "American Airlines" and check out the advertisers on the search results page. Google is letting companies purchase other company's trademarks as keywords for their AdWords program. Or, as American Airlines said, "This lawsuit involves...efforts by certain companies to free ride on American Airlines' brands through use of Google's technology."...

SeniorCareMarketer.com to Launch in 2008

seniorcaremarketerFisher Vista, LLC, the marketing and information services firm that owns HRmarketer.com, has announced plans to release a similar product aimed at the rapidly growing senior care industry and named SeniorCareMarketer.com. The service will be released in the first quarter of 2008.

The new site is a direct response to the expanding elder care industry. Seniors represent the fastest-growing age group in the United States, and projections call for the age 75-and older population to increase 70 percent by 2025. As the Baby Boomer generation enters its senior years, an estimated 70 million Americans will be over the age of 65 by the year 2030 - equal to one out of every five Americans.

SeniorCareMarketer.com will offer the senior care industry the same marketing benefits and services that its sister product, HRmarketer.com, offers the human resource industry: the ability to generate publicity, website traffic, sales leads and improved search engine rankings.
