David Naylor highlighted how some Google UK and IE search results are showing primarily Australian websites because some of those keywords are most frequently searched for in Australia. Conversely some Australian search results were returning primarily UK websites for keywords that are more popular in the UK.



If you can’t rank for a specific keyword it is worth looking at the composition of the search results and seeing if Google is localizing it to another region. Yet another reason to have a multi-domain strategy if you are targeting many markets.

Google plays second fiddle to Microsoft by announcing its deal with Twitter AFTER Bing. “we are very excited to announce that we have reached an agreement with Twitter to include their updates in our search results. We believe that our search results and user experience will greatly benefit from the inclusion of this up-to-the-minute data and we look forward to having a product that showcases how tweets can make search better in the coming months. That way, the next time you search for something that can be aided by a real-time observation, say, snow conditions at your favorite ski resort, youll find tweets from other users who are there and sharing the latest and greatest information.”



The rather brief blog announcement and the integration still being months away"compared to Bings live test of Twitter results"suggests that Google was out-maneuvered by Microsoft. This time.

Sometimes I make a mistake in my writing. I know, hard to believe.

So, after correcting an earlier typo, I just happened to check Googles search index to see if my post had been indexed yet. Not only had the post been indexed, but the typo fix"from just seconds earlier"had already been updated!

0 to indexed in just 37 seconds? Thats pretty real time dont you think?

2008 was a rough year for Yahoo. First Microsoft tried to acquire them, then Yahoo spurned them, then shareholders wanted a merger, then they lost CEO Jerry Yang, then their search ad deal with Google fell through. There was nowhere to go but up in 2009, right? We got a new CEO, Carol Bartz, and Yahoo finally looks like its making an effort and has a new search ad deal with Microsoft in the works.

But in some ways, theyre wishing for the old days"the Q3 report today says that the company has seen a year over year drop of 12% in revenues (to $1.575B). Theyve also seen a drop in operating cash of 6% ($384M). Considering last years Q3 was rough (although even then, their revenues were up), even lower revenues this year isnt exactly what they wanted to hear.

But the Q3 report has good news, too. While revenues fell, net income was up an amazing 244% (to $186M). (I know, that kind of growth makes you think creative accounting.)

Carol Bartz has been cracking down on the company and trimming the fat, one of the tasks she was brought in to do. Even with lower revenue, they ended up with a substantially higher net income"thats pretty darn good.

Of course, theres still one big question here"will a search deal with Microsoft help Yahoo where its struggling in the long run? Well, since the deal currently says that their revenue/search must match Googles, theres a big maybe on that one. Yahoos notoriously suffered from a lower revenue per search, something theyve tried to ameliorate with now two search deals. Will this be the one to do it"and will that be enough to turn the company around?

What do you think? Is this more good news than bad news for Yahoo? Will a partnership with Microsoft reverse their revenue fortunes?

Chrome-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothingbut playing games
Say it again

OK, maybe Google wont adopt Frankie Goes to Hollywoods “War” as the unofficial anthem of its Chrome browser, but fun and games? Sure, why not?

Since early this year, Chrome Experiments has been collecting a bunch of user-created JavaScript applications that are designed to show off the powerful technology behind Chrome. This one for example, I call the “Internet Explorer” emulator, because it (literally) crashes the browser!

<iframe class="embeddedvideo" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZTwrQSOHdX0&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="350"></p>

One of the newer submissions helps you turn Google Chrome into something ultra-productive: Ping Pong!

Or maybe you prefer a little asteroid blasting?

Of course, Googles hoping that these experiments will help lift the browsers 2-3% market share. Id suggest that getting the Mac & Linux official builds released might have a better chance of helping with that goal.

So, yeah, I thought Google killed PageRank in Webmaster Tools?

More importantly, why is Google running an ad that encourages PageRank obsession?

FAIL!
