Preston Dave,

I'm watching Eric Schmidt's interview on YouTube right now ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxzDU3tTzGA ) where Battelle asked about Performics and what Google's plans are for it. He kind of did the politically correct thing and just said he didn't know what they're going to do with it and moved on. I'm guessing they will either sell it, or spin off the SEO part of that business and sell that. I think they wanted everything else Doubleclick has, and Performics just came as part of the deal. I can't imagine Google offering SEO services. Yeah, it’s kind of nuts that Google is buying an SEO company.
