Google: Bing is Plagiarizing Our SERPs
Google has taken a pretty direct shot at Bing and the gloves are off. On Tuesday, Google released a blog post accusing Bing of “stealing” their data. Danny Sullivan wrote a nice piece on the details of Google’s experiment. This is a bold accusation and both sides are fighting for search market share. Google’s claim is that they.
Google Instant Results
Google Instant launched today, allowing people’s search results page to change dynamically as they type. This is impressive technology as it now requires a unique query to Google for each letter typed. Assuming the average query is approximately 20 characters this means Google has to run 20 queries where before they only had to run.
Google’s Acquisitions Infographic
Word of the day: infographic. This one was too nice to pass up, plus I’m still logged into my site. Sarcasm aside, it really emphasizes the significance of the DoubleClick and YouTube purchases. It would appear that the frequency of acquisitions is also.
SEO Tips for Small Businesses

Google’s Chrome OS
I don’t want to say that Pete & I were right or that we predicted this over a year ago, but… I don’t know how to finish that sentence. In my original post titled, ”Google’s OS (aka Chrome),” I wrote, “Hopefully Microsoft sees this as the threat to XP that it is”. Today, Google announced the.
Google Latitide to Status/Blog
A close friend (“cc” aka Chris Crosby) sent this to me yesterday but I’m just getting around to checking it out this morning; http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/more-ways-to-share-your-google-latitude.html Two items: “Google Talk location status (beta) automatically updates your Google Talk or Gmail chat status message with your Latitude location.” “The Google Public Location Badge lets you publish your Latitude.
Google’s AdWords Title Limit >25 Characters
Interesting to note, but a non-actionable item; Google will display >25 characters in the title line if it’s a result of Dynamic Keyword Insertion (“DKI”) but cannot confirm the maximum amount. I’ve seen examples of 29 characters but Google still recommends that nobody plans on so many. The only takeaway is perhaps not to cutoff.
