Come to think of it thats true

A lot of people in Arabic countries have access to broadband internet (4 people share a 2MbpS connection), and with Microsoft initiatives to provide computers for every student at an affordable price.

That would acctually be great.

422,039,637 of the world speak in Arabic (2/6 most popular laguage)

An ever increasing % of people having access to internet

Arabic IDN around for a while

It all means great profit potential

Arabic speakers will search in Arabic Abdul, that’s a huge market but the competition/websites that cater for Arabic searches is obviously not great, I don;t know what percentage of the world speak Arabic but it is a lot more than 1% so it’s a gap in the market.

That new google looks awsome. It would be great if it could be true.

qulaity game too btw

You quoted that:
Less than 1% of internet content is in Arabic. Google sees an opportunity here.

How can I make use of that? I am a fluent arabic speaker and use it as a primary language?

All links on my site are red so I’ve stuck with that for the title and the actual URL is a shade of blue to match the site, I am thinking of changing that to the old fashioned link blue though.

What colour do you find works best for links? I have heard 2 things. Either blend the link colour in with the rest of the other links or make them #0000FF (the blue colour). I seem to see better results with them being blue. I read this is because of the popularity of blue in the previous years of the internet.

It’s certainly good for advertisers and hopefully publishers too in the long run. I’m now off to make sure all my URLs are in a different color to the rest of the text.

What I’d like to see “more of” from Google Trends is actual numbers, not just relative search volume in line charts!

I think the Google Adsense clickable area’s change is a good thing. I would like to think that the visitors that clicked ads on my site were clicking intentionally and not accidently so that the advertiser is getting a good return for their money. Maybe it will result in higher payouts per click too due to advertisers not worrying as much about accidental clicks.
