Search Buzz 11/9/08 - Google Blows, Yahoo Dead, Jeeves Back

http://www.SERoundtable.com/ - In this weeks video recap, I covered the major news that Google's search engine had major quality issues and had to revert back the algorithm changes over the weekend. Part of that, we gave you an update on the current state of the Google search results. We asked if new signs show Google is dropping PageRank from the Toolbar. Google dropped Yahoo, and Microsoft no longer wants it. I spoke with Google's Nick Fox about AdWords. AdWords added trademark symbols to their keyword tool. Google is moving to new help forums. Ask.com brough Jeeves back, as a joke. But their algorithm is down the toilet. Most SEOs should get marketing or programming degrees. Should have Schmidt backed Obama publicly? 55% of us said no. Hope you voted on Election Day. We will be at PubCon in Las Vegas this week, hope to see you there! More details at http://www.SERoundtable.com/

I love this video news too. Hope you feel better soon, you sound terrible. Thank you for giving us this news even with a cold.

I'm really beginning to appreciate the video based SEO news, Barry. I often find it difficult to keep track of my RSS subscriptions - but videos like these help me to make sure I'm on track and aware of things that are taking place in the industry.
