Killer Link Round-Up

Inside Adwords– adwords quality score update. They also added a "quality score" column in adgroups to see the quality of your keywords. Very awesome.

NIN Web Trail– Industrial band Nine Inch Nails quietly launched a pretty complicated promotional campaign for their new record "Year Zero". T-shirts sold on the current tour have an encrypted message on the back which leads to IAmTryingToBelieve.com, a website with a very disturbing vision of the future. But that is only one site out of a cast of "web characters" that support the theme of the new album. There is also AnotherVersionOfTheTruth.com, BeTheHammer.org, ChurchOfPlano.com, and all the weird stuff interlinked between them. Very interesting marketing strategy.
