Google Releases New Link Reporting Tools
For years, Google’s link: command (and see here) has deliberately failed to show all the links to a website. This came out of Google’s fear that site owners simply wanted the data to try and manipulate rankings — which was pretty true. Instead, they only provided a sampling of backlinks. Today, that changes. Google Webmaster […]

Google Pushing New Blogger In Search Results
Now that Blogger is officially out with a new version, I guess Google’s ready to get behind the service in a big way. The screenshot above shows a new promotional “tip” I just got in my web search results. I’ve never seen anything like that before for Blogger nor that I can recall for any other […]
