If your site collects any meaningful data like credit card info or addresses, you will now have to clearly describe how you plan to use the information you are collecting.

The latest algorithm tweaks have apparently targeted too many links in the footer. I think this may have been mistaken for some type of farmer scheme, but I don’t really see the logic behind it.

Everyone is following the newest hire by Yahoo (former Googler who we don’t even need to name at this point). Will Yahoo re-enter the SEO world and bring some much needed competition to Google?

It seems not. Every piece of empirical data that I can find seems to suggest that the Panda, Penguin, Caffeine, Vince, et. al updates have effectively diminished the value of all article writing. Some may disagree, but I think your seo time is better spent elsewhere.

As everyone knows, Google is trying to increase competition with Facebook, and hence the Google + rollout. Well now they have implemented a new policy, no more ads that direct users to click on Google+ buttons or deals in exchange for Google + clicks.

Although the data regarding ad positions seems pretty flawed, the estimates for bulk pricing seems to have improved recently. I think Google still needs to improve their algorithm for this though.

How many of you are specifically targeting the tablet market with your campaigns? There is a new section in your Google Settings tab that allows you to aim your ads at the entire table community with one click.

A vast majority of SEOs agree that the Panda update had a narrower impact that the caffeine update did because it targeted a smaller niche of criteria. How would you compare the two to the Vince update?

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but there is a lot of evidence showing that sites with too much duplicate content combined with no canonical attributes in headers were hit particularly hard by the latest Panda update. Article sites were also crushed.

Does anyone know how Google is monitoring frequency and volume of block-list requests? Are they relying on manual reviews or have they developed an algorithmic solution (I suspect the latter, but who knows).

There is some evidence to suggest that Google is still evaluating their block-list after some concerns were brought up concerning a distributed denial of service attack type of attack being possible. Has this been ironed out yet?

Has anyone noticed a discernible difference between the latest farmer updates (comparing the U.S. and U.K.).   I have the feeling that the Panda updates is pretty similar throughout.
