MIVA has announced plans to launch a new online advertising platform. The new platform will incorporate MIVA’s existing Pay-Per-Click solution and add online advertising formats for a more comprehensive offering.

The platform will be launched through a phased roll-out. The first phase will be a beta release, expected in the fourth quarter of 2008.

“As the online advertising market continues to mature, the needs of advertisers and publishers are also evolving. MIVA’s new platform is intended to address these needs through completely updated technology that we believe will provide a significantly enhanced set of features and online marketing options for advertisers and publishers,” commented S. Brian Mukherjee, SVP and Group Managing Director, MIVA Media.

Google has announced that their related search suggestions are now extra fresh. Writing on the Official Google Blog, Rajat Mukherjee, Group Product Manager, Search and Adam Westall, Software Engineer said, “Recently, we improved our algorithms to process new information faster, and the result is quite tangible — you should now see fresher suggestions for queries on current topics of interest.”

They gave several examples. One is the iPhone. Now, if/when you search for the iPhone you’ll get a suggestion for the iPhone 3G, announced this week. This suggestion should come as a surprise to no one informed about the relationship the search engine has with the fruit.

Other examples include:

1. Searching for tomatoes and getting a suggestion about the recent salmonella situation
2. Searching for us open and seeing a US Open Golf Tournament suggestion
3. Searching for kung fu and getting a tip about the Kung Fu Panda movie (which my kids loved, btw).

I personally could not duplicate the results for any of these examples in Firefox, but I could in Internet Explorer.
