In terms of investor optimism, the search engine giant appears to have a massive advantage over Apple.

Google has earned its way into a very impressive position ahead of Apple in terms of optimism expressed by investors, as its mobile marketing and other strategies have brought its shares up above $831 and building, while Apples are hanging low at around 426.18.

Every passing day seems to be looking better for Google due to the strategies that are keeping its future bright.

Bloomberg compiled data has revealed that the shares at Google are currently trading at a price that is 25 times its current profit. This is considerably better than Apple, which has a current price to earnings ratio that is under 10. The primary difference between the successes of these two companies is being credited to the mobile marketing at the search engine king.

Lucrative prospects for mobile marketing are making a considerable positive impact on Google.

The mobile marketing there is looking so positive that investors are clearly willing to pay more for the company’s shares than every dollar of earnings that it brings in. This is far superior to the results being seen by Apple.

At the moment, Google is estimated to hold over 40 percent of the total online American online advertising marketplace. Forecasts are suggesting that it will only continue to grow its hold on the $37.3 billion that is being spent for this purpose by businesses every year, in order to better communicate with their audiences.

Google has also just entered into an important new partnership with Samsung Electronics Co., which has boosted its share in smartphone and tablet software. This has only built its competitive threat against Apple, as investors impatiently await the next release from that company, to see if it will be any more successful than the last two releases which have generated considerable consumer disappointment.

According to B Riley & Co. analyst, Sameet Sinha, “There’s only one company benefiting from all the growth areas of the Internet — be it video, mobile, local, social, display advertising.” Sinha added that “Apple has just done well in devices, nothing else.” With Google asserting itself in the mobile marketing sphere, this could prove dangerous to Apple unless its next release is spectacular.

Accidental ad clicks seen throughout mobile marketing

Mobile marketing has become a very important aspect of the business world. With smart phone penetration so high among consumers, companies interested in reaching out to a broad audience must find ways to engage mobile consumers. Thus, mobile marketing initiatives are quickly being formulated by companies that realize the potential benefits of appealing to mobile consumers. Google is one of these companies, but the technology giant has been seeing complaints regarding in-application advertisements that could be causing consumers some problems.

In-app ads are common in the mobile space

In-app advertisements are a common way for app developers to generate revenue, especially those that specialize in developing free applications. Developers often sell empty space in applications to advertisers. Most of these ads are designed to be somewhat discreet, or at least out of the way of an application’s primary content. Google suggests, however, that a growing number of people are accidentally clicking these advertisements. While unintentional clicking may be a small problem for some people, mobile advertisements, especially those found in applications, often collect information from a mobile device upon consumer engagement.

Google takes steps to cut down on misclicks

Google is taking steps to curb accidental clicking in mobile marketing through the introduction of a new service for all Android smart phones. This service is meant to confirm all clicks that are made on in-app advertisements. With the new service, when a consumer click on an advertisement, their smart phone will ask if they truly want to follow the ad. If confirmed, the advertisement will play out as designed. Google does not expect that the new service will have any negative impact on mobile marketing campaigns.

New Google service may help mobile marketing

Mobile marketing is a popular way to get in touch with a new generation of consumer, but consumers are often agitated by accidental clicks. Curbing consumer frustration may actually help improve the acceptance of mobile marketing among consumers and help advertisers achieve more accurate analytic data that could help them craft better campaigns in the future.
