Mobile Google and Yahoo Searches
If you’ve ever checked your iPhone for the nearest Starbucks or used your Blackberry to find the best Thai restaurant within 5 miles, you’re not alone. Google’s Director of Mobile Advertising, Diana Pouliot, recently announced that one-third of all Google mobile web searches are somehow related to the user’s location.
This revelation has led Google down yet another path on it’s never-ending quest to dominate everything anyone could ever want to know about. Google is highlighting the growing importance of mobile location-based searches by increasing efforts to optimize advertising platforms. Some analysts forsee spending via mobile searches with “local-intent” to reach up to $4 billion by 2015. Last year’s estimates only hit about $34 million.
