Ten Years with Google AdSense!

Posted on 18. Jun, 2013 by in Webmaster World

Happy 10th AdSense! May you (and hopefully I along with you!) have many more! What’s surprising, to me at least is — looking back at all the work one had to do before AdSense came along — that there is *still* nothing compared to AdSense in terms of the great return one gets for monetizing [...]

Webmaster’s Perspective: The State of the Internet Search (2013)

Posted on 14. Jun, 2013 by in Webmaster World

I’m afraid I don’t think we need better communication with Google, except temporarily. Temporarily, it would be nice. What I think we need is an alternative to Google, and soon – as in, the next 5 years. And it will happen. That is because, through no fault of its own, Google’s lost its vision, and [...]

Someone from Microsoft is on record as stating that they’re looking at disavowal reports as another data point. If there’s a spike in disavowals from a specific domain or area, Duane Forrester said that they might take that input as a flag to take a look if there’s something going on. It’s not just fear [...]

WebmasterWorld Weekly Roundup June 6

In the latest video from Matt Cutts, he goes on to describe how authorship profiles will be strengthened by use of rel=”author”. There have been so many signals coming out of Google over authorship signals that there should now be no scepticism over the employment of rel=author and that if youre serious about your articles, [...]
