A week after version 2.5 of Google’s tweaks to the search rank algorithm – A.K.A. Panda – rolled out across the Web, new data from Searchmetrics show that the changes appear to be rolling back. Panda is designed to reduce the impact of content farms and other low-quality sites that game Google’s page ranking algorithm.

Out of the 30 domains that were hit hardest by last week’s changes, 10 of them have recovered to receive more traffic than before Panda 2.5, with another 10 restored to 80-90% of their pre-Panda 2.5 visibility. Only four sites did not recover their SEO visibility: bettermedicine.com, faqs.org, ohinternet.com and The Next Web. click this to continue

Microsoft has today announced that its Bing search engine has added a new partner, the popular travel search site Kayak. Going forward, Kayak will provide its flight search and pricing data to Microsoft which will be then integrated into Bing’s search results. What that means for Bing users is that they will now have access to flight search data for more cities, more airports and more airlines, in more locations around the world thanks to Kayak, says Microsoft.

This is the second travel-focused update to Bing in less than two weeks, and is notable in light of Google’s attempted acquisition of ITA Software, the system powering travel pricing for dozens of airlines and flight tracking sites. If that deal went through, it would strike a direct blow to Microsoft’s attempt to innovate within the travel search vertical.

On Kayak’s side, this latest Bing partnership may impact the mapping system Kayak uses on its own website, it appears. From the company press release, Kayak says it was “already evaluating” replacing its current mapping system with Bing Maps. That’s now looking a lot more likely …

From all the forms of traffic to a website, the traffic driven by the search engine has been the most profitable, along the time. This is why, since the middle of the nineties, many tried to analyze the way they work and to adapt their websites, for a higher and higher rank, in search engines. Search engine optimization became, thus, a profitable business, itself.

For many, though, getting traffic by no means led to less orthodox practices, known today as “Black Hat SEO” practices. These tactics involve abusing the search engines and driving traffic to them, even from irrelevant searches. To defend themselves from these tactics, the search engines evolved and their demands are continuously, changing. Google and Yahoo do not even disclose, any more, most of their algorithm calculations and other criteria they require for delivering targeted, quality traffic, to a website.

Anyway, the times of reciprocal links, three-way links, article spinning, link farming and whatever means automation is over. The serious directories check all the submissions, by hand. Recently, many had their pages un-indexed just for using huge data feeds, to post massive content to their blogs or web-stores.

Today the search engine submission services are obsolete. Each search engine will offer different tools to include websites, for indexing but they do not guarantee a better rank from using them. Google offers the Webmaster Tools and asks for a sitemap to be included in the root of a website, in order to access its content and crawl it, periodically. The webmasters also have the option to exclude certain content, like the password protected one, from being indexed and revealed, to the public. The sitemap will not be able to do its job, unless proper linking or cross-linking between the pages of the same website is done.

The keywords probably, will always be the most important factor for rank improvement in SEO. This is why, without falling into the obsession to please the search engines and to compromise the content, one has to check out the trends in searching. Not only the search engines offer this information but also big online stores, like Amazon. Keyword stuffing and hidden content, typical “Black Hat SEO” tactics, should be avoided, of course. Though, using frequently searched keywords along with one’s legitimate content, in a natural and well balanced manner, is one thing to keep in mind.

These days, the content syndication and spreading the word on major networking sites helps a lot when it comes to getting quality driven content from search engine. Search engine marketing is becoming, more and more a matter of honesty and accurate information. As in real life, one cannot rely only on one method of advertising and search engine marketing should not be the only one to take into consideration, for any website owner. Placing ads on websites with high traffic, permanent visibility and continuously, providing quality content on your own are pretty much the only things that make the search engines tick and work in one’s favor, these days.

With more than 10 billion images indexed, Google Image Search has become the visual reference source to beat. Google’s VP Marissa Mayer took the stage at a press conference today to announce the company’s latest image search redesign. the company released a significantly new iteration of its current interface alongside the launch of Google Image Search Ads.

The new ad product allows marketers to place the image of their choice next to their text advertisement. This feature lets product-based vendors offer images of their offerings based on the relevancy of the ad to image search results. So if the user is searching for a specific phone image and specs, it makes sense that commercial offerings for accessories and cases would co-exist in the commercial header …

Google is rolling out to all users today a number of substantial changes in the way it serves up search results. Search by content type (images, news, shopping, etc.) will now be highlighted in the left sidebar and users will be presented search options that are contextually relevant to the subject of their search.

Search for “shoes” and you’ll be offered links to search in maps, images and shopping. Search for “NFL Draft” and you’ll see options to search in blog posts and real-time updates highlighted. Search refinements like “less shopping,” features like the Google Wonder Wheel and search inside dynamically created timeframes will no longer be hidden out of sight but will be placed at the top of the user’s view by a dynamic relevance algorithm. Google says its internal testers have called the increase in their personal search efficiency “like night and day.” You’ll be able to judge for yourself sometime today …
