What's
the deal with on-going SEO
I've got a question. It seems to me that, for the most part, SEO work is rather
straight forward. You want to have your tageted keyword(s) in your text a certain
percentage and towards the top, you set your META tags...
How's
Your Search Engine Referral Look Like
Looking at three websites that I maintain, I noticed that Yahoo provides us 70%
of the traffic. Google merely contributes 20% or so.
Secure
search, beyond safe search.
I am looking for good links to my site. So many new sites pop up in finance where
the only contact information is an email address.

Publishers Put Google Out Of
Print
 By
David Utter
Continued complaints from the publishing industry via its trade association have brought a pause to the Google Print Project.
The latest bit of news from the Google Blog discloses it will scan no more in-copyright books until it's time; in this case the time will be November, by which the search engine hopes to continue with its Print Library and Publishers Project.
This break allows Google time to find out from publishers which books copyright holders do or do not want included in the Project. Google cites several benefits to their program, like increasing awareness of out-of-print books users would otherwise never find.
Publishers could track that interest and direct users to their web site. Enough interest in a title could even spur a publisher into making a title available again; it seems likely that with Google's scan available to publisher, modern on-demand printing technology could be used to sell someone a copy of a title that hasn't been on a shelf in years.
The Association of American Publishers has blasted the Google Print initiative again. Patricia Schroeder, a former Colorado House Democrat, serves as president and CEO of the AAP. "Google's announcement does nothing to relieve the publishing industry's concerns," Mrs. Schroeder said in the release.

Rumors Abound: What’s Happening With Technorati?
 By
John Stith
Right now the rumors are flying hot and heavy about the future of Technorati. A number of search oriented blogs picked up this thread on Friday and have been speculating exactly where these companies might go.
BL Ochman's "whatsnextblog.com" ran the rumor based on a tip the Ochman received.
Here's a tip I was given this morning from a venture capitalist who is "heavily invested" in the blogosphere: Technorati is about to be sold to a large search engine company. The deal should go down in about a week.
He put his money on Yahoo and several followers of said blog speculated on either Google or Yahoo. Some wondered about Yahoo since they just bought heavily into the Chinese company Alibaba.
Some thought it would be a good fit for Google since they've got a stronger blog presence anyway. Yahoo is trying to get into that business though so it would make sense for them to go there.
Most think though that this deal would be best suited to Google with some of their announced plans for the future. In any event, this will be big news when and if it's announced next week. We shall wait and see.
