Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Chuck Carnevale]

    Although most of these companies are still expected to grow at above-average rates, most of them are not expected to grow at the same rate they historically have. However, the majority are expected to grow at rates greater than the average dividend paying company found in other sectors. Moreover, the majority of these candidates also offer above-market dividend yields and below-market average valuations. Automatic Data Processing (ADT) is an exception and only included because it has historically been priced at a premium valuation to its earnings growth.

Google Updates Documentation & Guidelines On Moving A Site

Google Webmaster Trends Analysts, Pierre Far and Zineb Ait Bahajji, posted on the Google Webmaster blog today that they’ve updated their official guidelines for moving your web site and having Google in mind when doing so.

They broke out the process based on two ways of moving your site:

(1) Move a site with no URL change

(2) Move a site with URL changes

With the first, i.e. no URL change, this is typically when you upgrade your site’s content management system to a new platform and you have the same domain name and URLs, but you may move the site to a new hosting company.

The second, i.e. with URL changes, is typically when the URL changes, such as the protocol URL, i.e. http://www.example.com to https://www.example.com, the domain name changes, i.e. example.com to example.net and/or the URL paths change, i.e. http://example.com/page.php?id=1 to http://example.com/widget.

Google said they’ve “seen cases where webmasters implemented site moves incorrectly, or missed out steps that would have greatly increased the chances of the site move completing successfully.” Because of this, they’ve upgraded their content in the moving your web site guidelines to help webmasters along the process.

You can view the updated guidelines over here.

EU Regulators Meet Amid “Right To Be Forgotten” Confusion

The caution “be careful what you wish for” might be appropriate going into a meeting of 28 European privacy regulators in Brussels this week.

Following the European Court of Justice’s creation of the Right to Be Forgotten (RTBF) and Google’s launch of a web form to field requests (now over 41,000), privacy officers must come up with a Europe-wide system for implementation of the new rule.

The challenge facing the regulators is daunting:

Balancing privacy rights with the public interestCreation of uniform standards across the 28 member jurisdictions so that outcomes don’t vary wildly across countriesCreation of an appeal process in cases where Google denies an individual requestDetermination of who will pay for the administrative procedures and potential appeals

There will be lots of practical and philosophical issues to consider:

What role does being a public figure play in the decision of whether to grant a request?What might the public have a right to know about private individuals?What length of time must pass for something to be “outdated’?How does the content in dispute impact the determination of “outdated” or “irrelevant”?What if any “consequences” will there be if content is removed and there’s some later negative impact or outcome (e.g., crime)?

Resolving these and other questions won’t be easy across 28 countries, many of which have different cultural norms.

The body will also have to determine how far beyond Google (Yahoo, Bing) does the RTBF apply — Twitter, Facebook, vertical search sites? What sites qualify as a “search engine”? Is there a traffic or other visibility threshold for application of the new law?

Top Heal Care Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Top Heal Care Stocks To Invest In Right Now: ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.(ACAD)

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, focuses on drug discovery and clinical development of novel treatments for central nervous system disorders. The company has a portfolio of four product candidates, including pimavanserin, which is in Phase III clinical development as a treatment for Parkinson's disease psychosis. It is also developing AGN-XX/YY, a product candidate in Phase II for chronic pain; and AC-262271, a product candidate in Phase I for glaucoma in collaboration with Allergan, as well as AM-831, a product candidate in IND-track development in collaboration with Meiji Seika Kaisha, Ltd. In addition, ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. is developing two preclinical programs in the area of Parkinson?s disease. The product candidates in the company?s pipeline emanate from discoveries made using its proprietary drug discovery platform. The company was founded in 1993 and is headquartered in San Diego, California.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Sean Williams]

    ACADIA Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACAD  ) added on 63% since last Friday, following an announcement that the FDA will allow it to file an accelerated new drug application for its Parkinson's disease anti-psychosis drug, Pimavanserin. ACADIA's drug met the primary endpoint of demonstrating highly significant anti-psychotic activity and the secondary endpoint of increased motoric tolerability in its late-stage trial, which provided more than enough evidence for the FDA to give the company the go-ahead to skip another confirmatory trial. Pimavanserin's chances for approval definitely got a boost, but ACADIA's valuation certainly is giving me cause for concern.

  • [By Sean Williams]

    What: Shares of ACADIA Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACAD  ) , a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, skyrocketed as much as 54% after it announced that it was filing an accelerated new drug applic! ation for Pimavanserin after discussions with the Food and Drug Administration.

  • [By Rick Munarriz]

    Tuesday
    ACADIA Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACAD  ) checks in on Tuesday. The biotech company's lead candidate is pimavanserin, a promising drug that's in the third and final phase of clinical development as a treatment for Parkinson's disease psychosis. Naturally, investors see red ink here, but analysts do see the quarterly deficit narrowing this time around.

Disruption in Digital Marketing and Communications – Insights from 19 Major B2C and B2B Brands

I recently had�the pleasure of presenting�at an Integrated Marketing Communications conference called INTEGRATE with an audience of Master’s Degree students and faculty at West Virginia University.

It was an impressive conference because of the passionate and talented faculty presenting but especially the students – most�of whom work full time jobs as they earn their Master’s Degree in IMC.

Here is the�presentation I gave:�Digital Convergence: The Integrated Marketing and Public Relations Imperative -�Disruption in the digital media world has reached every aspect of marketing and communications. Brands compete with publishers and consumers are empowered to publish and influence like never before. The convergence of marketing and PR creates all new opportunities for brands to build authority and grow business while competitors continue to work in silos.

For topics like this I like to bring in outside voices of authority and in the process of that research,�I was able to tap into some serious brand marketing firepower through digital marketing and communications executives from: General Motors, SunTrust Bank, Salesforce.com, LexusNexus, Inova Health System, Intel, PTC, US Bank, Dell, Century 21 Real Estate, Intel Corporation, Marriott, Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems, Cisco Systems, Motorola Solutions, an eco-beauty company,�a Fortune 20 corporation and Rutgers University.

The goal of this inquiry was to�surface�the major disruptive forces companies and organizations are facing with today’s modern digital media�-�especially amongst major B2B and consumer brands. I asked:

“What would you say is the most significant disruptive force in the digital media world affecting marketing and communications?”

From changing news media business models to�the sheer volume of content, options for publishing, pressure to engage customers on their terms and rate of speed, there are multiple dimensions to this topic. There were a number of distinct themes in the replies. First: social and media platforms are both a challenge and opportunity. Second,�consumers are empowered more than ever and brands need to organize, communicate and engage on their terms to succeed.

Below�are excerpts from their responses. Full responses are being compiled into an eBook.


“The decline of media, and consequently positions for journalists, has changed true news consumption, but conversely has posed an opportunity for multimedia journalists who can tell visual stories – at media companies and organizations.�
Mary Henige (@maryhenige)�Director, Social Media & Digital Communications at General Motors


“The fragmentation of storytelling across multiple touch points is disruptive to ensuring a common thread and a consistent brand presence, voice and tone across all digital (and non-digital) efforts that connect the work and grow the brand.”
Heather Lockwood (@hlockwoo)�Director, Global Digital Marketing at�a major Ec0-Beauty Company


�The explosion of mobility and connectivity is the most disruptive force in marketing communications today. Today�s consumers are interacting on screens of all types and sizes and they are ready to connect with your business at any moment. That�s a huge opportunity, but only if you are prepared to interact.�
Matt Gentile (@MattGentile)�Global Director, Social Media at Century 21 Real Estate


�The biggest disruptive force I’m seeing is how data is enabling more granular content targeting which in turn drives a need for more customized content. With today’s customized targeting and re-marketing capabilities, combined with consumers having more control, content marketers have an opportunity to serve customers content that feels more customized to their individual needs.�
Jennifer Lashua (@runningjen)�Editor in Chief at Intel Corporation


“Shiny object syndrome distracts communicators from creating core content. �New channels are useless without something useful to contribute.�Content marketing forces the integration of the marketing and PR silos to hit two top objectives that previously required divergent tactics: awareness and leads.”
Frank Strong (@Frank_Strong)�Communications Director at LexusNexus


“The need to keep things short and very to the point eliminates the ability to tell a story in one medium. �It’s more about having a compelling lead and engaging the target in 140 characters or less and then leading that target to the full story in another channel/medium. The ability to convert a target to a lead to a customer has become a multi-media process.�
Barbara Soifer�(@soifer428)�Senior Director, Campaign & Development Communications & Creative Services at Rutgers University


�The dirty secret of the internet / social web is no one reads any more. You’re lucky if they skim. This is why imagery and pictures have become everything and sometimes the only thing.�
Rob Birgfeld (@robbirgfeld)�Senior Director, Digital Marketing & Communications at Inova Health System


�Everything we’re seeing now is a product of the disruption of the distribution model for marketing and comms. If brands are going to speak to their audiences directly, they need professionals to help them do that. Brands must offer their audiences content as a service rather than using their platform to crow about themselves. Quality will have to rise drastically, which means that the people who do it best–traditional publishers–have an opportunity to shift their distribution model accordingly.�
Stephanie Losee (@slosee)�Managing Editor at Dell


“The huge numbers of retiring baby boomers in the USA will be disruptive in multiple ways from the influx of technical-savvy employees over a short time, accelerating how companies communicate though social and mobile to new roles in Integrated Marketing, Digital Marketing and Communications, Brand Protection, and Legal Compliance.”
Gary Spangler (@garyfspangler) Corporate Digtial Marketing Manager and Leader Social Media CoE at DuPont


“The�challenge in a faster paced, mobile connected world is to move faster and create quality stories more quickly that hit people’s interest.�You have to pay for people’s attention or have robust, growing distribution channels/discovery points.�
Ken Kaplan (@kenekaplan)�Editor at Large at iQ by Intel


“The ability for everyone from companies to consumers to “publish” content on the fly makes it difficult for a large B2B company that has legal processes to go through to be fast and first with a unique message.”
Anonymous Product Marketing Manager at a Fortune 50 Corporation


“Text format in digital media is becoming obsolete. Consumers hunger for “human” connection and meaning in a sterile digital world and visual storytelling through video and image hits the spot. In the future more corporations will be collaborating with, buying up, or creating their own media production houses as a way to hone and amplify their storytelling to rise above the blah.�
Nancy Pardo (@PTCPardo)�Content Marketing Director at PTC


”There is an expectation that brands will meet consumers when and where they have interest in them.�
Julie Horns (@lachicajulia)�Marketing and Social Media Strategist at US Bank


“Technology and cool shit like the Internet of Everything (IoE) will help us marketers keep up with new tools and resources that will enable us to truly market person-to-person (P2P). Brands will start focussing more on culture and employee engagement because doing P2P well requires that your employees ARE your brand.”
Heather Meza (@heathermeza)�Conversion Content Marketing Coach at Cisco Systems


“Social networks have completely changed the digital media equation where power now lies in the hands of consumers and customers. Hashtags in particular can shine a light on one specific topic and tie together whole streams of conversation uniting many users in sharing one view.”
Jennifer Mesenbrink (@EditorThink)�Senior Manager, Digital and Social Content Strategy at Motorola Solutions


“Social platforms can change their policies whenever it suits them which can be disruptive when you�re integrating across platforms, channels and devices.”
Michelle Lapierre (@mmlap)�Senior Director, Customer Experience & Social Media at Marriott


“The ability to develop social profiles for small, niche audiences means you don’t have to “hope” you’ve reached your audience anymore.”
Corinne Kovalsky (@kovalskyc)�Director of Integrated Communications & Public Affairs at Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems


�Email marketing is the most disruptive force in digital media affecting marketing and communications, because people are overwhelmed with the volumes of emails they receive each day. Over time it’s become a very ineffective way to each our audience.”
Darlene Ford (@dford28)�Digital Marketing Strategist at SunTrust Bank


“The most disruptive force is the hype surrounding click bait�tactics used in�content marketing and the inevitable backlash�that will�hurt�brands, destroy credibility, and destroy upper management’s faith in content marketing.”
David B. Thomas (@DavidBThomas)�Senior Director, Content and Engagement at Salesforce.com

As you can see there are quite a few perspectives on what constitutes “disruption” in the digital media space, especially as it relates to digital marketing and communications. I think it comes down to the rate of change in technology, consumer behaviors and the ability for corporations to adapt and innovate.

What do you think are the most significant digital media disruptions affecting modern marketing and communications?

Google To Warn Searchers When A Mobile URL Redirects To The Homepage

Don’t annoy mobile searchers. That’s the message behind a new warning that Google is showing in mobile search results on smartphones.

On the Webmaster Central blog, Google alerted webmasters late yesterday that it will let smartphone searchers know if it thinks a website has a “faulty redirect” in place that sends the searcher to your home page, not the page they clicked on.

We’d like to spare users the frustration of landing on irrelevant pages and help webmasters fix the faulty redirects. Starting today in our English search results in the US, whenever we detect that smartphone users are redirected to a homepage instead of the page they asked for, we may note it below the result. If you still wish to proceed to the page, you can click “Try anyway.”

As you can see above in Google’s sample, the warning is front and center with the search result, and may discourage users from clicking.

But Google’s not just warning searchers; there’s also help for webmasters. The “Crawl Errors” section of Webmaster Tools will offer specific information about faulty redirects affecting smartphone crawling.

There’s more advice about fixing faulty redirects in Google’s blog post, and in Google’s webmaster help pages.

Google Adds Street View Tours Of World Cup Stadiums

With the World Cup just a week away, Google has expanded its Street View imagery to coincide with the biggest sporting event on earth.

Available today is new imagery inside all 12 stadiums that will be used during the tournament. You can do a 360-degree spin from the center of the pitch, or move your view anywhere on the field and even into the lower level of the stands.

Google has also added imagery of Brazil’s painted streets and other sites across the country. There’s also new Street View images in Peru, Chile, Colombia and Mexico.

Report: Google Losing Share Of Mobile Search Ad Market

Data aggregator and prognosticator eMarketer is out with a new mobile advertising forecast that shows Google losing share of the mobile search ad market. The company says that apps are taking their toll on Google’s mobile ad dominance.

The firm says that US mobile advertising in total will be $17.73 billion this year. That would mark huge growth over the $7.1 billion recorded in 2013, according to the IAB. Indeed mobile ad revenues would have to more than double, which is possible but an extremely aggressive scenario.

Specifically eMarketer asserts that the US “mobile search” ad market will reach more than $9 billion this year.

Mobile search advertising is defined to include “paid ads served by search engines, search applications and carrier portals to all mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets.” Search applications is further broadly defined to include sites such as Yelp and YP.

Apps are eating away at Google’s market share as users go directly to content sources rather than turning to a mobile web browser. According to eMarketer, “Google owned 82.8 percent of the $2.24 billion mobile search market in 2012 . . . [dropping to] 68.5 percent in 2013.”

The report calls out Yelp in particular, saying that it has “emerged from the pack” of search apps. YP is also presented as a market leader.

This report will get a lot of play and probably boost Yelp. However it’s important to keep in perspective the fact that Google will continue to have considerably more mobile ad revenue than others. The company controls more than half of all global mobile ad spend (search + display) though it does have a well-documented problem with mobile CPCs.

This report does clearly demonstrate that Google continues to be vulnerable to specialized apps that establish a direct relationship with end users. On the PC, Google remains the “gatekeeper” between users and content publishers. That’s not true in mobile — though Google is working hard to recreate that scenario, especially on Android devices.

Postscript: eMarketer has an expansive definition of mobile advertising. In particular the firm includes the following in its definition of spending categories generating “search revenue”:

Paid listings � payments made for clicks on text links that appear at the top or side of search results for specific keywords. The more a marketer pays, the higher the position it gets. Marketers only pay when a user clicks on the text link.Contextual search � payments made for clicks on text links that appear in an article based on the context of the content, instead of a user-submitted keyword. Payment only occurs when the link is clicked.Paid inclusion � payments made to guarantee that a marketer’s URL is indexed by a search engine (i.e. advertiser isn�t paid only for clicks, as in paid listings).Site optimization � payments made to optimize a site in order to improve the site�s ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs). (For example, site owner pays a company to tweak the site architecture and code, so that search engine algorithms will better index each page of the site).

The final one, “site optimization,” probably should be excluded from any definition or set of sources of “search revenues,” however.

Postscript 2 (from Danny Sullivan): We’re checking back with eMarketer for more details about what’s happening with the “Other” category that effectively is causing Google’s near doubling of mobile search spend earnings to appear as a loss. Consider this chart:

The top part shows the percent of mobile search ad revenues for the last three years, as estimated by eMarketer. You can see how Google drops from 82.8% to 68.5% — which to some, will also seem like Google has lost revenue.

It has not. The bottom chart shows you the total mobile search ad revenue spend for each year, again as estimated by eMarketer. What I’ve done beyond the total is used eMarketer’s share figures for each year to figure out how much actual revenue each source generated, rather than just a percentage of the total.

Google went from $1.85 billion in 2012 to $3.39 billion in 2013. That’s nearly doubling the revenue, growth of nearly 100%, rather than a drop that the percentage of overall spend might lead some to think.

Google’s growth is downplayed because the overall “pie” of spend got larger. “Other” spend went from 120 million in 2012 to $1.13 BILLION the following year. That’s about $1 billion in mobile search ad spend coming into the space seemingly out of nowhere.

Hopefully, we can get more details about what’s happening in that “Other” space — how it grew so much, so quickly.

Right To Be Forgotten Requests Keep Coming, Now 41,000

As of the end of last week there were roughly 12,000 requests that had been officially submitted to Google under Europe’s judicially created “right to be forgotten” (RTBF) rule. Google launched an online form last week to field the requests.

According to the Wall Street Journal the 12,000 have now turned into 41,000. That’s roughly 10,000 a day since the form went live. While the volume and pace are decreasing somewhat from last week, the numbers coming in remain brisk.

Google could be faced in a few weeks with several hundred thousand requests from 28 countries, creating a major headache and requiring a much larger staff to address the individual submissions. No individual country in Europe has yet developed any process or procedure to address RTBF and Google hasn’t done much more than put up the form.

I can imagine that all over Europe people are Googling themselves and submitting requests for any and every link that they think is damaging to their personal reputations or otherwise unflattering. It will initially be up to Google to grant or deny these requests.

Most will probably be denied but there are no real standards or rules in place to determine how to evaluate the requests beyond assessing whether the content behind the links is��outdated� or �irrelevant.� That suggests purging links that are older than X (?) years and making distinctions between public and private figures.

Postscript: Privacy officials from the EU’s 28 member states have gathered today in Brussels to start two days of discussion about implementing the ruling and are expected to name a subcommittee to study the issue on Wednesday, the Journal reported. “We want come up with some guidelines for Europe,” Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, head of France’s privacy watchdog, told the Journal. “We have to think in detail about questions that Google itself acknowledges aren’t easy.” �The Article 29 Working Party — named after the EU data-privacy directive that created the group — hopes to have guidelines in place by the group’s next meeting in September.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By James E. Brumley]

    Did you miss today's 123% pop from Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDTI)? If you didn't chase it higher after the bullish gap left behind at the open, then good for you - you made the right choice. As tempting as CDTI looked t! hen (and still does), the bulk of any near-term gain here has already been realized, and there's no real point in jumping on the bandwagon now. Fear not if you missed the big move from Clean Diesel Technologies though. There's another, smaller name playing the same game, and you won't have to pay a fortune for it just to take a big risk.

If you're an investor looking for a biotech company with boatloads of potential, you may be wondering about adding Momenta to your portfolio.
