<title>Google Flu Trends</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=13158</link>
<description>Google Flu Trends, based on Internet search activity, predicts new outbreaks of flu in the US. It is that time of the year here on the Northern Hemisphere. A steady stream of new mutated flu viruses reach Europe and Northern America from Asia, leading to sore throats, runny noses and feverish days and nights, and there seems to be nothing we can do about it. Normally you would look to the medical field for a solution (there is not one yet),</description>

<title>Bye bye Google! What now Yahoo?</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=12897</link>
<description>Google cancels its ad deal with Yahoo! due to US government antitrust measures. It was a strange deal from the very beginning: Yahoo! asking Google to serve pay-per-click ads on its sites, in spite of Yahoo! having its own ad service. It was definitely an admittance of defeat. Yahoo's ad service is not on par with Google's, in spite of the fact that Yahoo! has based its technology on the pay-per-click pioneer Overture which Google copied. But these were desperate times.</description>

<title>3 great ways to find free images</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=12837</link>
<description>If you are looking for images for your blog or a PowerPoint presentation, don't go to Google image search. Search Flickr instead, using one of these three excellent search tools. Google image search returns lots of hits, but the results can only be sorted by image size. Even the advanced image search option lacks one important option: You have no way of knowing if the image copyright rights are reserved or not.

<description>Pandia argues that Google's deal with US publishers and authors may lead to a new revolution in book dissemination &quot; one that can be compared to the importance of the printing press. This week the Official Google Blog announced that Google has made a deal with US publishers regarding the Google Book Search service . Google Book Search lets you search the contents of a large number of books that have been scanned by Google.</description>

<description>The world is heading into a global recession. Will search companies like Google and Yahoo! come out as winners or losers? Yahoo! announced that it would lay off 10 percent of its workforce this week. Is the search engine industry feeling the recession already? There might be optimists out there that continue to believe that a global economic downturn can be avoided, but we do not belong to them. When confidence in the market evaporates and people fear for their jobs,</description>

<description>The search engines are slowly coming around to indexing the content of Flash files. There are ways of helping them find links hidden in Javascript as well. The famous KISS-principle (keep it simple, stupid!) continues to be a sensible rule in search engine optimization: Stick to regular text with regular HTML-links and the search engine will be able to index your site. Too many site owners have bought fancy and dynamic web designs,</description>

In a market dominated by one search engine, such attempts do matter, Pandia argues. Imagine the following: Due to the financial crisis, Yahoo! fails to stay afloat, and is sold to the highest bidder. If that is Google, Google will close down the Yahoo! search engine and replace it with its own. If it is Microsoft,</description>

The new homepage is more similar to Google News, in that it puts up popular news topics in the center column. At the moment of writing, examples of such topics are &quot;The Palin-Biden debate&quot; and &quot;OJ Simpson guilty of armed robbery, kidnapping&quot;. The headline points to one of the most popular blog posts, while alternative links are provided under the summary.</description>

Over at the Official Google Blog Shirin Oskooi notes that: &quot;Now that we're a decade old, we figured we're long overdue for some spring cleaning. We started digging around our basement and found all kinds of junk: old Swedish fish, pigeon poop, Klingon translation books.</description>

<title>Is there room for an independent European search engine industry?</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=11684</link>
<description>Pandia argues that there is still room for a European search engine industry, even if all the major companies now are on American hands. Yesterday we reported on how Microsoft has decided to make Norway the base for its enterprise search efforts. That can hardly be taken as a sign of the European search engine industry dying now, can it? Total US domination The fact remains, however, that there is now only one regular European owned web search engine left in Europe: Exalead.</description>

When Microsoft bought the Norwegian search engine company Fast Search and Transfer in January for US$ 1.2 million, there were those who feared that this could mean the end for the Norwegian search engine cluster. However, instead of Microsoft totally assimilating Fast, it seems that Fast is &quot; in some way &quot; taking over Microsoft's enterprise search activities,</description>

<title>Scour interview: The making of a social search engine</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=11010</link>
<description>Social search is upon us: A new brand of search engines is taking shape right now. In July we covered Scour , a new social meta search engine that encourages voting and commentary on its query results. In order to give you a glimpse behind the scenes of a social search engine in the making, we have interviewed Scour CEO Dan Yomtobian. Pandia: Why does Scour pay registered users for their comments and ratings? Dan Yomtobian: For Scour to function as a social community,</description>

<title>Google will delete private data after 9 months</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10805</link>
<description>Google has decided to reduce the period it keeps personal information in its datalogs by half, from 18 to 9 months. Google will now anonymize IP adresses on their servers at an earlier stage. Google has been in conflict with the EU Commission on this issue. Since IP addresses are shifted around by Internet service providers, Google has argued that the IP address cannot be used to identify individuals. EU disagrees. Google is using the data to improve it search results,</description>

<title>Google Picasa can recognize faces. Now what?</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10734</link>
<description>Google gives away face recognition technology for free. But what happens if this technology becomes part of regular web search? Is there any privacy left? The image oriented part of the social web is dominated by Yahoo's Flickr. Google also has its own image tools, however: There is the Picasa software for Windows and Linux, a free photo organizer, and Picasa web albums , an online photo sharing service like Flickr.

<title>Search1.x - new blog covering search tools</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10708</link>
<description>There is a new site presenting search engines and tools, with its own directory and discussion forum. Felix Liao has a relatively new site devoted to web search, desktop search, image search &quot; well, anything web search related really. Search1.x contains a very informative blog covering search engine sites and technologies. The blog design is a bit unusual, as it orders the post in a kind of newspaper layout. It works well, though,</description>

<title>Google at 10, in fear of youth! (Weekend Wrap-up Sept 7)</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10686</link>
<description>Google is 10 years old this weekend (the exact date is debated). In these 10 years the search engine has developed from a search tool only known to geeks to a multinational giant. Google has become one of the most well known brands on the globe, and is &quot; at least in the Western world &quot; delivering close to 70 percent of all search results. That this would happen was not at all obvious in 1998, where the technological front was defined by AltaVista,</description>

<title>Learn more about pay per click advertising in LA!</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10581</link>
<description>Pandia's readers get a 300 US$ discount when signing up for the September PPC Summit. Search engine marketing is more than developing an ability to rank well in normal, &quot;organic&quot;, search results. Pay per click text ads like Google Adwords have proven an efficient and relatively inexpensive way of reaching a targeted audience, partly because they are displayed alongside related search results or web site content,</description>

<title>The Google Chrome Browser</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10489</link>
<description>Google presents its new browser in comic book form. Google's way of not announcing new innovations is well known. The company must have one of the smallest advertising budgets among the large American companies. Today, however, it seems they have chosen a whole new tactic for presenting new products and services, namely a comic book. Google Blogoscoped claims to have received the comic book from Google, and it is drawn by Scott McCloud. Seriously,</description>

<title>The future of search may be personalized, but what about your privacy?</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10488</link>
<description>Pandia takes a look at how the search engines may use your web surfing habits and other data to fine tune your search results. Let's admit it: Even though the search engine companies do a lot to improve their offerings, there has not been any radical innovations in the search engine field for a long time.</description>

<title>Pandia Weekend Wrap-up August 31</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10455</link>
<description>August is holiday season in both Southern Europe and North America, which means that search engine news traffic slows down. Next week, however, we should be back to normal. One of the most important news this week is probably Google's implementation of Google Suggest on English language sites. Google will now suggest alternative search phrases as you type. This is not a Google invention, however. Ask and Yahoo! have implemented this feature a long time ago.</description>

<title>Google Suggest helps you formulate your search queries</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10453</link>
<description>Google adds search suggestions to search results, generating a list of alternative search queries. Google has added a new feature to the Google home page and other search pages. As soon as you start typing a search query, Google will open a small pull down menu directly under the search form with a list of alternative search queries based on the letters you type. The list changes as you type.</description>

<title>Innovative news search with Jamesoo</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10450</link>
<description>I see a lot of new search products on a daily basis. One of the things I don't see often, though, is real improvements to the presentation of search result. Jamesoo is a news search engine with an innovative results page: The news stories that match your query are presented in newspaper layout. Jamesoo was launched this month. It searches RSS feeds, which should make for fresh news and a brand new, relevant &quot;newspaper&quot; on the subject of your choice, whenever you want it.</description>

<title>Del.izzy adds search functionality to Delicious</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10272</link>
<description>Del.izzy is a search engine that supplements the search options available at Delicious. I use Delicious every day and for a lot of bookmarks and I am always looking out for ways to extract useful information from my treasure trove of bookmarks. Del.icio.us is a great service, but their search options leave something to be desired. When you search through your bookmarks, you are only searching through tags, titles and descriptions, not the page content. Del.izzy is a simple,</description>

<title>Inquisitor, a search add-on for Safari</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10200</link>
<description>I do most of my work on Macs and most of my surfing I do in Firefox. One of the main reasons I use Firefox is that with its huge choice of add-ons it is highly customisable. But there are some valueble add-ons for Safari as well, for instance Inquisitor, a search plug-in. How it works Inquisitor replaces the current search bar functionality in Safari with a search drop down menu. According to David Watanabe, who developed Inquisitor,</description>

<title>Tools for determening the value of web sites</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10199</link>
<description>Phil Bradley presents various online automatic tools for ascertaining the monetary value of web sites over at his blog. The tools try to determine the value of domains or web sites by combining information like back links, the age of the domain name, Alexa ranking etc. It is a long time since we tested them, and we were of course eager to know whether we can sell Pandia and retire to the Bahamas. Smart PageRank told us that Pandia is worth US$ 1,330. This is,</description>

<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10198</link>
<description>Find out what's on US TV by searching Ask. Not all search engine improvements have to be groundbreaking. Several baby steps may ultimately become a large step for mankind' Well, let's not get carried away here. It is a fact, though, that Ask has not yet given up the attempt at attracting new users through innovation. That's a good thing, as big companies like Google and Yahoo! need competition to keep on innovating themselves.</description>
