Admob just released a new metrics showing a significant spike on ad impressions for Google Android. AdMob’s report was based on the ad requests received from AdMob network’s mobile sites and applications. Here are the higlights of AdMob’s latest metrics: 97% increase in worldwide requests from Android devices, totalling to 1 billion ad request between October-December 98% of the ad requests came from HTC devices in October, 56% in December from HTC devices and 30% from Motorola DROID. Among the Android devices that generated more than 3% of ad requests are Motorola DROID, HTC Dream, HTC Magic, HTC Hero, Motorola CLIQ, HTC Droid, HTC Dream, HTC Magic and HTC Hero. Motorola DROID received 30% ad requests in December making it the number one Adroid handset in terms of ad requests. Interestingly, these data have to come in just in time for Google’s announcement of the Nexus Phone. And even more interesting is the fact that AdMob is already owned by Google. So, it is most likely that the metrics has a little bias over the Android than other mobile phone OS. Will the Nexus One phone add spike to Android’s current achievement in terms of ad request?

Is Apple trying to disrupt the anticipation, hype and excitement over Google’s announcement of the Nexus One by announcing their own announcement of the Apple Tablet? None other than the Wall Street Journal reported and sort of confirmed that Apple is indeed launching its much talked Apple Tablet , which is due for launch not until March 27. While Google is about to officially unveil the Nexus One in a few hours from now. Are we looking at the opening salvo of the much awaited Google vs. Apple which we called an epic battle of Droids, Tunes and Systems? Funny how Apple is trying hard to raise awareness on its Apple Tablet wherein fact, prior to Google’s rumored launch of the Nexus One, Apple has been mum about it. But with the media hype and buzz that Nexus One has been getting as early as December, with predictions saying that Nexus One might steal a great deal of mileage from iPhone, Apple has every reason to be weary. Adding perhaps to Apple’s anxiety is Gartner’s prediction that the Android will dislodge iPhone from being the number smartphone operating systems in 2010. Now here’s the best part, there is also some rumors circulating the past few days that aside from the Nexus One, Google is also planning to announce its own Android tablet. The rumor is so good that HTC was even mentioned as a partner again. If this rumor is true, it would give Google some more time to gain mileage over the Apple Tablet which is due for launch March 27. Or perhaps, this might prompt Apple to launch the Apple Tablet earlier. So, now the waiting game begins. Check out the SEO Tools guide at Search Engine Journal . Apple Tablet: Apple Bites Back at

Don’t look now guys, but only 16 months after it was officially released, Google Chrome is now the world’s no. 3 browser , based on Net Applications’ web browser usage data for December. What makes this more interesting is that Chrome has edged out Apple Safari which has been occupaying the third spot next to Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer. Google Chrome registered a 4.63% market share while Safari got 4.46% making it the no.4 browser for the first time. It is also worthwhile to note that Google just released the beta editions of Chrome for both Mac and Linux so it is most likely that this brought a sudden surge to its market share. While Safari may have slipped down to the no. 4 spot, it still managed to increase by 0.1%. Not unlike IE and Firefox which both suffered minor setbacks with 0.92% and 0.1% decrease in market share respectively. Joining Google Chrome and Apple Safari with increases in market share is Opera’s web browser which managed to get 2.4% of the browser market. Net Applications’ data was based on usage share from the 40,000 sites it monitors for clients. This amounts to 160 million unique visitors monthly.

For those who value Google’s often delayed toolbar pagerank, Google is giving you all a nice New Year’s Eve present – the annual page rank update. It seems Google is now making this an annual gig as it also made a toolbar pagerank update the same time last year. Let’s see now, the last time Google had a Toolbar PageRank update was last October . So it looks like a New Years 2010 pagerank update is just about the right time since many site owners are probably expecting it to kick off their New Year 2010. So, with that I’m officially greeting you all – Happy New Year. May all our sites’ PageRank reach new heights next year! But for SEO workers, we all know that Toolbar PageRank is not really that relevant anymore because this page rank is oftentimes delayed and does not really give site’s real-time page rank. But if you still value the Toolbar PageRank, check out your site’s page rank now and see if it got bumped up. Check out the SEO Tools guide at Search Engine Journal .
