Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt has announced that the search giant will launch its Groupon competitor today, starting with Portland.

The news that Google is getting into the daily deals space is not a surprise. Google attempted and failed to acquire Groupon for $6 billion last year. A few months later lots of people exclusively learned that Google was developing a Groupon competitor called Google Offers.

At the D9 Conference in Palos Verdes, California, Schmidt and Stephanie Tilenius, Google’s VP of commerce, demonstrated the company’s new product. It’s just like Groupon in that it provides users a daily deal from “thousands of merchant partners.” Google showed off a deal for $10 worth of Floyd’s coffee for $3 on stage.

The big selling point for Google Offers is that it will integrate seamlessly with Google Wallet, the company’s NFC-based payment system launching this summer. Instead of printing out a coupon or barcode, completed offers are saved to a user’s Google Wallet, where they are automatically saved and redeemable. Eventually they will be utilized automatically through NFC.

Google Offers will be available today in Portland and eventually roll out to New York, San Francisco and other cities during the summer.

Every entrepreneur and his dog is offering a daily deals service these days. From Groupon‘s slightly more original voucher system to Facebook’s newly launched Deals platform, deals have taken precedence in the web startup landscape.

Courtesy of Online MBA, here’s a cheat sheet for how four of the most popular daily deals sites and services — LivingSocial, Groupon, Facebook Deals and Google Offers — work, including how much money these companies are making and how many users each one might have.

Facebook Deals and Google Offers are the two newer competitors in this already crowded field. While these programs come from two of the biggest names and the most powerful companies in the Internet’s ecosystem, we don’t yet have enough data on these specific features to really judge how well they’ll perform in the real world, where Groupon and its pure-play ilk are already fairly well established.

Take a look at the information presented below, and in the comments, let us know if you think the tech behemoths will crush the deals-focused startups or if you believe the startups have staying power — or perhaps daily deals aren’t a zero-sum game and there’s room for all these companies to profit.

Statistics For 2010

Any website owner who is anxious to reach the top of the SERPs (search engine results pages) will utilise a number of SEO tactics and techniques to get there. But beware that what you do may also cause your site to end up on Google’s Blacklist. This is the last place you want to be as it will cost you quite dearly.

It is imperative that you understand what will get you blacklisted in the first place, and what to do if you end up there.

Some Of Google’s Rules For Websites…

According to Google, “If an SEO creates deceptive or misleading content on your behalf, such as doorway pages or ‘throwaway’ domains, your site could be removed entirely from Google’s index”. The search engine combats obvious spam by asking users to submit spam reports. These are “used to create scalable algorithms that recognize and block future spam attempts”.
