| 1123: | Research on Google's Panda and Link Exchanges Make no mistake about it: Panda is Google's way of reminding would-be corrupters and despoilers of the Word Wide Web search industry, an industry that Google "owns" (or at least thinks it does), that payback is a bitch, that the time for payback is now, and that the payback penalties may be severe. | Link Development | May 3, 2011 | ||

| 1125: | Panda Metric : Google Usage of User Engagement Metrics I am continually surprised at some in the community that point to a couple of individual metrics as 'the ones' that caused xyz to happen in the most recent update. I think it is time to look at the greater picture of data that Google has available.[br][br]Eric Enge had a presentation at PubCon Austin that he felt Panda pumped up 20% user engagment metrics into the algo. It really got me thinking about this aspect indepth. I started to put together a list of possible data sources google could use as metrics (signals), and I was pretty surprised at how large a list it became with very little effort. | Google SEO News and Discussion | May 1, 2011 | ||

| 1132: | Adding 25,000 Pages to a 3,600 Page Site We want to expand the site to include all real estate listings in the whole state. Doing this would add about 25,000 new spider-able listings to the site and our longtail searches should increase quite dramatically. Is this something I can do all at once, or should I take it a bit at a time? And, do you have any recommendations on the amount of pages I should add a day? | Google SEO News and Discussion | Apr 27, 2011 | ||

| 1135: | YouTube Goes Full Hollywood With Movies on Demand Service YouTube will imminently launch a movie-on-demand service charging users to stream mainstream Hollywood movies off the world's largest video sharing site, TheWrap has learned.

| 1136: | Google Acquires TalkBin, A Feedback Platform For Businesses "TalkBin offers a platform that lets customers give immediate feedback to local businesses (users submit their opinions and critiques via mobile applications, and it looks like the businesses can read and respond to them from a web app). TalkBin's homepage shows screenshots of both Android and iOS applications, but I can't find them on either marketplace (I'm not sure if the apps were pulled or if they simply haven't been released yet)." | Google Finance, Govt, Policy and Business Issues | Apr 26, 2011 | ||

| 1138: | Google Launches Instant Previews for Ads "...introducing Instant Previews for Ads as well. Thanks to this new feature, you can now get a preview of the site that hides behind text ads on Google Search without having to click on the link and without leaving the search results page. [br][br]For advertisers, who generally pay Google per click on a text link, this should be a welcome new feature, as it will allow potential customers to see a preview of the site's landing page without having to click on an ad (and hence costing the advertiser money). Advertisers won't have to pay for clicks on the Instant Preview button. [br][br]Judging from today's announcement, these previews will currently remain limited to ads on Google's own search results pages and will not appear on third-party sites that use Google AdSense." | Google AdWords | Apr 26, 2011 | ||
| 1139: | Canonical Tag vs. Block in Robots.txt "For years, I have simply blocked the long query string URLs via the robots.txt file (The long query string URLs have a "virtual" directory in the URL, so I just block that virtual directory). [br][br]But with "trust" being such an important issue after the Panda updates, I wonder if it might be better to unblock those URLs in robots.txt and just let the canonical tag take care of it. [br][br]In webmastertools, under crawl diagnostics, it lists something like 700 URLs blocked by Robots.txt, and if it is something that is being measured by google, I can't help but think that they are somehow using that information for something." | Google SEO News and Discussion | Apr 25, 2011 | ||

| 1141: | Wave Of Layoffs in Wake of Panda "Seeing a 40% decline in sales since Google adjusted its algorithm, online ergonomic-products retailer Ergo In Demand Inc. in Central Point, Ore., reduced its 17-person staff to five, moved to a 4,500-square-foot office space from one more than double in size and cut $4,000 in monthly software subscriptions. [br][br]Many small but growing Web retailers say they have been punished since Google, which handles nearly two-thirds of all Web searches, moved in late February to weed out "content farms," or sites that post information without attention to quality or by copying text from other sources such as government websites." | Google Finance, Govt, Policy and Business Issues | Apr 22, 2011 | ||
| 1142: | Jury Finds Against Google in Linux Patent Case A jury in the Eastern District of Texas handed a verdict in favor of Bedrock Computer Technologies LLC, determining that Google infringes a Linux-related patent, that the patent is valid, and that Google should pay $5 million for past infringement (through the trial date).[br][br]At least indirectly, if not directly, this also has ramifications for Google's Linux-based Android mobile operating system... | Linux, Unix, and *nix like Operating Systems | Apr 22, 2011 | ||

| 1144: | Amazon Cloud Outage Affected Major Sites We'd like to provide additional color on what were working on right now (please note that we always know more and understand issues better after we fully recover and dive deep into the post mortem).[br][br]A networking event early this morning triggered a large amount of re-mirroring of EBS [Elastic Block Storage] volumes in US-EAST-1. This re-mirroring created a shortage of capacity in one of the US-EAST-1 Availability Zones, which impacted new EBS volume creation as well as the pace with which we could re-mirror and recover affected EBS volumes.[br][br]Additionally, one of our internal control planes for EBS has become inundated such that it's difficult to create new EBS volumes and EBS backed instances. We are working as quickly as possible to add capacity to that one Availability Zone to speed up the re-mirroring, and working to restore the control plane issue.[br][br]We're starting to see progress on these efforts, but are not there yet. We will continue to provide updates when we have them. | Webmaster General | Apr 22, 2011 | ||
| 1145: | Apple, Google Caught Collecting User Location Data Wall Street Journal: "...an HTC Android phone collected its location every few seconds and transmitted the data to Google at least several times an hour. It also transmitted the name, location and signal strength of any nearby Wi-Fi networks, as well as a unique phone identifier.[br][br]Until last year, Google was collecting similar Wi-Fi data with its fleet of StreetView cars that map and photograph streets world-wide. The company shut down its StreetView Wi-Fi collection last year after it inadvertently collected e-mail addresses, passwords and other personal information from Wi-Fi networks. The data that Mr. Kamkar observed being transmitted on Android phones didn't include such personal information. | Google Finance, Govt, Policy and Business Issues | Apr 22, 2011 | ||
| 1146: | Yahoo Postpones Roll Out Of Microsoft's Ad Programs Outside of U.S. Yahoo Inc. launched its Internet search partnership with Microsoft Corp. in the U.S. last year with the hope that the alliance would reverse a long decline in ad revenue it gets from search requests. [br][br]But the deal so far isn't generating as much ad revenue per search as Yahoo envisioned. [br][br]Revenue guarantees included in Yahoo's contract will force Microsoft to make up for part of any shortfalls through March 2012. Yahoo is further protecting itself by postponing its plan to rely on Microsoft's search ad technology outside the U.S. until the problem is fixed. | Yahoo Search Marketing Pay Per Click Advertising | Apr 21, 2011 | ||
| 1147: | Blekko Adds Facebook Comments To Its Search Results Considering that the Facebook News Feed has become an extremely popular source for link-sharing, updates, and social commentary, and Facebook Connect now practically blankets the Web, the social network is a logical partner for Blekko. And it gives it that much-envied social flair it had been lacking. [br][br]But, how does it work? Using Blekko's Facebook integration is easy: You simply connect with your Facebook account on the Blekko homepage, and go about your normal searching. The major difference, though, is that when you type 'TechCrunch' into the search bar, you'll still the same search results you would otherwise; yet, now, all mentions of TechCrunch in your Facebook news feed (and thereby mentioned in your friends' feeds) populate the right column. Look out! | Alternative Search Engines | Apr 21, 2011 | ||

| 1149: | Analyzing Google Panda For Sites That Don't Fit The Mold The point of this thread is to pick out the sites from those lists which DO NOT fit that mold, sites which it's not obvious why they lost, and figure out why they were hit.[br][br]In doing so, maybe we'll understand why Panda has hit so many here who don't seem to deserve it either. | Google SEO News and Discussion | Apr 21, 2011 | ||
| 1150: | YouTube Transcoding Videos Into Open Media WebM Format ...all new videos uploaded to YouTube are now transcoded into WebM.

This indepth thread looks at the reality of a website move and rebranding effort.[br][br]"It appears that approximately a week after the change the clients search positions are suffering.

| 1157: | Google Panda Algo Change And Human Behavior Theories So they tried to convert user behavior into an algorithm.

| 1160: | Twitter's Ongoing Growing Pains With Its Business Yet even as management tackles its executive and product problems, a major challenge looms: Twitter needs to figure out what it wants to be when it grows up. It's one of the reasons Dorsey is back at Twitter, but coming up with Twitter's raison is a tall order for a visionary who has another big job. Twitter CEO Costolo insists that the company isn't a "social network." But what is it? A media company? A communications tool? Or even something more? Twitter executives need to answer those questions, and fast. | Apr 14, 2011 | |||
