Facebook & Twitter have some of the worst landing pages on the web.
At least if you look at it from a search engine perspective, who should assume that every visitor isn’t a member of the site they are referencing in the search engine.

Back in June when Google +1 was first introduced (the voting on links, not the full Google+ experience) I wrote about an issue I had with the new service.

Dear Google
Your recent decision to invoke a manual penalty on the download page for Google Chrome will have lasting ramifications for the whole of online marketing, whether display advertising, affiliate marketing, and other performance marketing such as CPA models, making many such business models unworkable.

I have been testing whether links posted in Google Buzz pass PageRank or at the very least can help with indexation of content since 22nd February 2010
I didn’t write a blog post about it, but I did write something exclusive for my readers on Google Buzz (those few of you out there) as a test case, posting a link from that page to one of the most poorly indexed sites known to the internet, which happens to be owned by Google.

I managed to ping Google’s @mattcutts after the announcement of rel=”author” support from Google on Twitter and he clarified the use case a little.
As Twitter’s search is still so terrible at finding things I am adding the conversation here.

Google launched their +1 button today. Lots of people have writeups but I suppose they have had prior access in some way. Heres one on Search Engine Land for instance.
But one thing I haven’t read about anywhere are the technical implications of +1 and the way it deals with canonicalization of votes, which currently is significantly inferior to both Facebook and Twitter.

It seems Google has given Twitter some kind of penalty, possibly for cloaking.

A couple of months ago we introduced some new Video SEO features into the uQast player and now all the wrinkles have been ironed out, including some work arounds for sub-optimal code within WordPress core in regards to oEmbed, a large chunk of it is working as intended.

I have been having lots of people contact me over the weekend panicing over whether they have been affected by Google’s latest algorithmic update “Farmer”.
If you have relatively stable search traffic volume it is fairly easy to detect and I have a custom report set up to do the sleuthing work.

First let me say, one of the best ways to get authority links is to help people, or be the first to notify people about a possible problem. Thus a big thanks to James at Online IT Guide for sending me an email to let me know of a potential hack of my Twitter account.

I first heard about Cloudflare when they presented at Techcrunch Disrupt. I am not writing about every startup that presented there, just a couple that caught my eye as something that I think will have a significant impact for my readers.

It seems Cuil.com is dead.
Michael Arrington’s sources suggest this is permanent.
That is $33 Million down the drain in research, development, infrastructure for the search engine crawlers etc.
But that is a fair investment… the investors new there was a significant risk, and based on the Crunchbase profile there were a whole load of smart people involved.

Yahoo are today presenting the future of their product lineup and espcially how their search engine will differentiate from Bing… once they are using Bing data everywhere.
But that is just for users… how about website owners, developers and SEOs?

A google engineer playing games with data is a bad thing.
It is bad when it happens with communications, especially when kids are involved.
It is bad when it might be used for competitive reasons such as Adwords data that was eventually settled.

Lots of rash statements get written by new media types after a press conference by Google, as an attempt to grab attention or to validate their business model by detrimenting that of others.
I am glad Matt Cutts, Marissa Mayer and many other Googlers have been fairly quick to defend the continued need for some kind of Search Engine Optimization, because ultimately a lot of what is SEO helps Google index content and find relevance.
