Google to sponsor Manchester United?
Big Blue also in the race to land lucrative Red Devils shirt deal… Manchester United football club is in "advanced" talks with a number of global high-tech giants about replacing Vodafone as its shirt sponsor, according to reports.

But the club's new owners, the US-based Glazer family, who won their controversial £800m takeover bid earlier this year, are now believed to be in advanced talks with some of the biggest global brands - many of them from the high-tech industry - about replacing Vodafone.

Google searchers can turn to the phone as well as the Web to connect with advertisers. Google is testing a new feature for its AdWords keyword ads that appear alongside natural search results: click-to-call. Greg Yardley, author of the Yardley.ca blog, first reported seeing small green telephone handset icons next to some ads on Google. A Google spokesman confirmed that the company was testing the service, but declined to give any details. But Google has published a FAQ. According to it, when searchers click on the phone icon, they get a prompt to enter their phone numbers, then click a "Connect For Free" button. Google calls the number provided, then, when the searcher picks up, connects the searcher with the advertiser. Google said it pays for the call. Not disclosed was how much it charges the advertiser for these ads, nor which vendors provides the click-to-call functionality. Full article: internetnews.com |

Search giant chooses 'more descriptive' title of Google Book Search Backlash and confusion have dogged Google's plans to scan millions of books, and, while continuing with its efforts, it has opted for a name change from Google Print to Google Book Search. "We don't think that this new name will change what some folks think about this program," says Jen Grant, product marketing manager for Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ), via the company's Web site. "But we do believe it will help a lot of people understand better what we're doing." Google insists that its book-scan program doesn't infringe on the rights of copyright holders, and that it is simply trying to create an online card catalog that happens to have a searchable index of every word in a book.

Free web diagnostic service on the way Google is set to launch a free web analytics service that will let companies see exactly how visitors interact with their website and how their advertising campaigns are faring. The free hosted service, which will be available in English and 16 other languages, is based on technology from San Diego-based Urchin, which Google acquired in March. Urchin's products previously cost $495 per month and were reduced to $199 per month by Google.

Google Analytics will let website owners see exactly where site visitors are coming from, which links on the site are getting the most traffic, which pages visitors are viewing, how long people stay on the site, which products on merchant sites are being sold and where people give up in multi-step checkout processes, said Paul Muret, an engineering director at Google and one of the founders of Urchin.

Google Personalization Out of The Gate
Google flipped the switch on Google Personalized Search on Thursday, turning it on for all users when they create a new Google account. Personalized Search learns from a searcher's previous queries and clicks, attempting to improve results by guessing at ambiguities.

The function also stores an individual's search history, available via a link at the top of the Google search screen. Those who don't want their Google use tracked can either sign out for a search session or go the "My Account" page and turn it off. Read more: internetnews.com |
