Pretty simple, it's a blog about schwag from search engines, SEO firms and other search-related sources.
Check out this cool logoed notebook from Wikipedia! Instead of just looking up the information on Wikipedia, why don’t you try and find some of your own and add it to the site. This notebook will definitely come in handy for those looking to do just that, and with a promotional pen the idea of it seems even sweeter!

You can walk the streets proudly advertising your favorite search engine and your own website that was granted to you by its services. How cool is that? All you need now is an imprinted shirt that shows off your website to make it the perfect combination for a search engine inspired day!
Check out this nicely boxed collection of Google schwag! Comprised of items such a logoed mouse, promotional pen and custom usb drive this collection of Google items is perfect for all those who love Google as much as I do. I love the idea of carrying a case like this around and opening it around people for all to see how Google-tech I am.
Recently CNET reported that Avast (Anti-Virus) has tracked over 2.6 million instances of malware that have been delivered to unsuspecting web surfers since last December by ad services such as Yahoo’s Yield Manager, Fox Audience Network’s Fimserve.com and even some from Google’s DoubleClick. Some high-profile sites include The New York Times, Drudge Report.com, TechCrunch and WhitePages.com. The practice has been dubbed ‘malvertising.’ I usually suspect the users of ‘careless web activity’ when I delouse a PC, but now I’m going to have to give some the benefit of the doubt (maybe, just maybe). However, it’s interesting to note just how much promotional computer and technology products have had an effect on the advertising world. It seems the days of focusing on creating custom brochures and flyers to market yourself have taken a backseat to the internet.
Google has come out with a collection of funny posters all endorsing the use of their applications. It is quite humorous actually, when one realizes just how massive of an effect Google has had on the web. Their custom computer technology is extremely easy to use and has left its competitors green with envy. This promotional poster is excellent for all fans of all things Google and would make one seriously funny piece of office deco in the workplace!
Check out this awesome promotional puzzle from Google. It’s made up of metal links and is perfect for “hours of under-the-table fun”. Google even suggests that it’s the perfect solution for those stuck in boring meetings to avoid falling asleep! While this may seem like a weird type of personal gift to give someone, it would be perfect as a logoed tradeshow giveaway!
Check out this high-end schwag won by a Yahoo! employee during an internal promotion! This personalized digital camera is imprinted with the Yahoo logo and comes in the brand’s royal purple color. It’s not a no-name brand either – Yahoo went with the renowned Nikon brand for this corporate gift, which I’m sure was sufficient motivation to get employees to do whatever it took to win the camera!
This cool promotional cup was given out by Google at the Gnomedex Conference. The custom cup has a liquid trapped in its walls and special lights that give it an eye-catching glow. Leave it to Google to always look good at everything they do.
P.S. I found this on Flickr, and one commenter says they are even willing to pay for the schwag. I’m sure the Google marketing department would be happy to hear that!
Silverlight, Microsoft’s rich-media application plugin, saw a similarity between the plugin’s name and those iridescent glass rocks used to fill silk flower vases in restaurants and offices. I guess they thought this was a good thing, because Microsoft apparently gave them out at the SXSW music festival a few years ago to promote Silverlight. I’ve seen a lot of weird swag at festivals, but I guess the part that mystifies me the most about this promotion is the absence of any visible branding from the rock – they literally could have just raided an art supply store and hauled the bounty to the festival to hand the rocks out by the dozen. Where’s the promotional savvy in that?

After the cute little Android camera backpack that made the rounds of tech and design blogs a few weeks ago, we knew it was only a matter of time before Google started tapping into the selling power of cute and releasing some quality Android goodies of its own. These collectible figurine toys, designed by Andrew Bell of Dyzplastic, will be available in twelve different styles, including business apparel, demonic red, radioactive beige, caution yellow, and of course classic green. Plush versions can’t be far away, I hope…
