Google Blog Posts

All a man wants to do is use the site operator in Google, but noooo…  If you type “site:” in the search field, before you get a chance to type in the domain, Google Instant suggests the most popular search results and look what you get, a bunch of 15 year old girls taking pictures of [...]

We can all get along but not on the same AdSense ad. Behold the irony of this ad which I observed on a popular SEO website.

Google shy away from brand damage during the political season.

Have you seen these strange Google search results that show multiple indentations?

No matter the niche or keyword phrase, Wikipedia just keeps on ranking–even for Google specific terms. I’d consider Googlebot brand term, wouldn’t you?

I’ve just gotten back from another Godaddy-like rankings trip, a ride on the rankings rollercoaster courtesy of the big G.

Is getting up on the wrong side of the bed relevant information? Google Bedroom is the new product from the search engine giant that just might be too invasive.

I waited a long time to get my Google Sitelinks. Thank you Google.

Everyone has site links but me. Now it looks like there may be light in the Google tunnel.

SEO Christmas! My interpretation of the classic “Santa Claus is coming to Town” as sung by a link building SEO.

Does your site get AdSense errors?

The Google.com domain turned 10 years old today. I read earlier somewhere that Google.com was about to be a decade old, so I checked the whois record and yep, it’s true.  Google.com was registered September 15, 1997 to be the domain for a search engine project begun by Larry Page and Sergey Brin which they had orginally [...]

How I was banned from Google Base.

Have you noticed how we SEO’s love to use the phrase “according to Matt Cutts?”

This appeared on Google.com when I performed a search for “Liberals.” Don’t ask why I did that. To my surprise, I saw this single eBay ad. Why would eBay want to sell their liberals? Are there too many in inventory? Do liberals constitute a high profit margin? None of the above. It turns out that eBay [...]

Wow, did the paid links controversy stir up enough posts to cause WordPress to crash at Matt Cutts’ blog?

Am I seeing double? Two indented Google results, wow!

Are user submitted buttons disappearing from the Google Toolbar Button Gallery? Old categories have been removed. Links to author sites appear incorrect, broken… When Google announced the Google Toolbar Buttons last year, it was too cute of a gimmick to pass up. I made a some custom buttons and found them quite handy to have sitting up on my [...]

When is the new Google Update?

SuppleMENTAL results were discussed a great deal last year by SEO blogs and forums after many webmasters, myself included, noticed a large number of pages appearing in the Google search engine results pages. I remember getting a streak of fear in my gut when doing the “site” operator and seeing page after page of my sites’ results appear [...]

Badges?… We don’t need no stinkin’ badges! I’m feeling pretty good now. Besides having about 10 days off work, I just got a Christmas present from Google. I seem to have just passed the Google Advertising Professional Exam. Not bad for a guy who spends day and night working on nothing but organic search, right? [...]

Google has a new site for webmasters called Webmaster Central
