Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Opportunities for marketwatch.com

Queries that provide opportunities for this site to advertise through Search Engine Marketing (SEM) to get more traffic. They are popular queries that are relevant to the site, and have low competition in search engine marketing. Learn More Many sites are actively advertising in search engines for the most valuable search queries. This high level of competition tends to result in high advertising costs, which makes it difficult to find attractive advertising opportunities. These opportunities may still exist, however, by looking at the "long tail". The long tail contains search queries with lower Query Popularity, but such queries also tend to have lower QCI. By advertising for many of these queries, sites may still be able to manage an effective search engine marketing campaign. Note that not all queries on the long tail may be very relevant to this site, but this list may contain a number of strong advertising candidates.

Comments: I should know as I'm a paid moderator at MW posing daily as a regular account in the comment sections below our daily articles. I often use my given powers to delete any post that dares to go against my opinion posts or the Market Watch company line, and will indeed delete your account if you dare to persist against us! I have killed literally hundreds of user accounts to date in the few years that I've taken over the AmericanPatriot account on MW and thousands of user posts; especially those that are pro gold. Of course my account is passed around anonymously to other stealth mods who use it as well to monitor the comments sections. Of course I'm not the only stealth mod there, but I handle account and posts deletions and PM warnings to offending account users. MW of course is almost fully controlled by Wall Street interests and our articles tow the company line to further the notion that both stocks and the Dollar are great investments long term no matter what direction the markets are going. Of course we have an occasional article that appears to sway from this mindset but it's just to appear to be unbiased to our readers. One thing out of my power is MW's left leaning bias overall. We delete any avatar that depicts a gun or is anti-Obama in any way. We will delete accounts of users that persist in this futile pursuit as well. In conclusion I would say that the site is OK for getting current stock prices and checking on the current market levels, and sometimes the comment section is well within our guidelines and good analysis can be gleaned from these users. It's OK overall as an investment site but know that it's also closely controlled what we allow users to say here.

Comments: The most censored WEB site I've ever been to. The writers and moderators on the site have ulterior motives and remove and penalize comments that expose them as financial amateurs. They are VERY left-wing in their writers expression(s) when they are supposed to be neutral. Even innocuous comments exposing ill-informed are removed. Example "Pigs might fly, get it?" As of 01/15/2011 they have started censoring "Clint Eastwood" avatars and anything with a gun in it as a "PC response" to the Arizona tragedy. Geeze......

  • Poor customer support

Comments: Most of the news stories are accurate and concise, but some of the business editorials must be written by novices. Avoid the community comments section, it is heavily censored and from all indications, moderators are allowed to post under anonymous user accounts and express opinions to the group. Not conducive to intelligent debate.

Over the last six months Marketwatch has really improved their web site. KUDOS!
