Recently, I spoke to a group of small business owners about the power of knowing your competitive advantage when marketing yourself and your organization.It never seems to fail; someone raised their hand and asked about the elevator speech. I am here to tell you that if you are still utilizing the elevator speech premise, it is time for a change.Granted, you still only have 20-30 seconds to make a strong impression. However, boring them to tears is not how you do it. Too often, the elevator speech creates the well-known Charl
The location based Google service is designed to display targeted advertisements to users from a certain region. For example, a ticket broker who needs to sell wicked tickets in New York City does not want her advertisement to be displayed in New Delhi. The pay per click advertisements to a non target audience can be extremely costly, and AdWords PPC advertisers use Google’s facilities to designate countries (and in some cases cities) where their advertisements can be displayed. However, this vulnerability allows a hacker in Beijing to see and click on advertisements meant for a Las Vegas audience. Some advertisers pay up to $35 every time a user clicks on their advertisement, and a hacker can run up the tab for such advertisers quite fast. Sofizar’s internal testing shows that Google not only charges for these clicks, but due to a software glitch in Google’s reporting interface, does not record the impression.
“PPC advertisement has become very popular due to their instant traffic results, and control over the composition of the traffic” said Ron Arthur, Program Manager of Sofizar managed service. “Given that there is about $7 Billion at stake with Google PPC advertising in 2006, malicious hackers are always on the look out to get a piece of the pie. An advertiser may feel secure in the knowledge that his advertisements are being displayed only in the US, while his advertisements may be getting unwanted clicks(and a massive bill) from a hacker in East Europe”.
“There is essentially an arms race between the click fraudsters and us,” said Zafar Khan, CEO of Sofizar. “We see ever insidious tactics by hackers to deplete the budget of advertisers, and unless the advertiser is really keeping close tabs on their PPC advertising they are a prime target for fraud. The location based vulnerability allows hackers to fly under the radar, and hit unsuspecting advertisers. We have reported this flaw to Google and we are confident that they will fix the glitch in their software. Our previous experience in dealing with Google customer support regarding glitches has been outstanding”.
Testing methodology used:
The vulnerability was tested on Sofizar’s test account (tickets website) where a US targeted AdWords campaign for a keyword with no searches was selected. Sofizar’s testers in their test center in Pakistan then used the back door to display and click their test advertisement http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Minimalist+Jukebox%3A+Reich+Tickets&btnG=Google+Search&gl=us that was only supposed to show in the US. When the account was checked, Google had charged Ticket Luck campaign for the click, even though it did not report the impression.

Are there secrets to gaining media coverage or is it pure luck? It's a question that I am asked often while meeting with small-business owners who are seeking press attention for their companies or products. While luck certainly plays a part, the short answer to this question is "maybe." However with a little practice and skill, a small-business owner can significantly increase the chances of garnering coverage by following some basic journalistic rules.I started my career in public relations the way many college students do - as an
