On December 18, 2009, In SEO, by rustybrick

itunes-subscribe-video.pngThis week in search, I announce that I am hosting SMX SphinnCon Israel on March 7, 2010 in Jerusalem. Google announced the support for cross domain canonical tags. There may have been a Toolbar PageRank penalty earlier this week. Google may add PDF support to fetch as Googlebot. Google dropped Answers.com for their own definitions. Google is testing infinite scroll in image search. Bing might add “page score” to their toolbar. MSNBot crawls pages twice, once for compressed http and one for uncompressed. Google’s new QR codes on the favorite places maps decals are sending users to wrong business, likely because of QR scanners and not Google. Google messed up the AdSense reporting again. Yahoo Search Marketing ads went down for a short period of time. Google is now in the URL shortening business with goo.gl. Google may buy Yelp for $500 million. Google is inviting publishers for Christmas lunch. Google’s Im Feeling Lucky button does the New Year countdown. Google did a Doodle for Zamenhof. Google forgot about The Simpons 20th birthday, a shame. That was this past week at the Search Engine Roundtable.

Vote For The Doodle 4 Google UK Winner

On December 10, 2009, In SEO, by rustybrick

Google Doodle 4 GoogleVoting is open for the UK’s edition of the Doodle 4 Google competition. Google has run this competition in both the US and UK for four years now.

This years competition:

We’re asking young people aged 5–16 from across the UK to design their own doodle. This year’s theme is ‘My Hero’. We’d love to see the figures young people look up to represented in their doodles, whether family, friends, people in the community, or world figures. We’re interested in the people considered heroes for the 21st century and how entrants represent them using images.

To vote, go to this page. You can vote for each of the four brackets, 5-7 years old, 7-11 years old, 11-14 years old and 14-16 years olds.

Forum discussion at Google Webmaster Help.
