Welcome back to our second installment of this very special WhiteBEARD Friday! Last week Rand Fishclause discussed how the new school way to get links is to give back to webmasters. That’s right, you’ve gotta give a little to get a little. This week, in the spirit of Searchmas©, we’re giving you 12 examples of sites that exemplify this new model.
From video hosting, to awards, to social profiles, and many more, we hope you’ll come away with some great ideas about what you can do to provide outward value to the linkerati and get a whole lotta link love back in return.

The next two weeks are typically the slowest two weeks in the search industry (and probably most other industries). It is the holiday week, with Christmas and New Years coming, as well as it being the first day of Winter today.
Google already started their holiday logo blast, although Google missed Chanukah this year, they are calling the logos “Holiday logos”. You will be able to see a new one every day and Google will archive them at google.com/logos/holidays-2009.html. Here is the first one:
Like I said, Google will have a new logo each day (maybe I will update this post here or make a new one for those).
Google # 2:
Yahoo is running a flash based logo also for the past few days:
But today is actually the first day of Winter here on our side of the world. And for the day, we have a nice theme from Bing, YouTube and from ourselves as well:
Bing Winter:
YouTube Winter:
Search Engine Roundtable Winter:
Happy holidays, cold winter and relaxing/healthy next two weeks.

Jaime from Google reminds us in a Google Web Search Help thread about a 1.5 month old search option feature Google added, named “More shopping sites.” Basically, if you conduct a search on Google, click on “search options” and then click on “More shopping sites” Google will try to show you results from sites selling things.
Here is a picture:
This kind of reminds me of Yahoo Mindset, a tool Yahoo created a while back allowing people to change the type of search results from shopping to research with a slider. Here is an old picture of the slider:
Now, personally, I’ll probably stick with using Google to research products and then once I find the sku, use both Google, specialized shopping search engines and Bing Cashback to find the best deal.
Happy Holidays!
