Mike Blumenthal documented these changes and I wanted to share them with you as well. For example, search for [General Patent Corporation International 10901], you will see a new look for the Maps OneBox: The main change is that clicking on the OneBox result doesn't take you to the business owner's web site. \n\t\tBing Almost Doubles Search Share In a Year \n\t\tMicrosoft relaunched their search engine Bing on June 1, 2009, just over a year ago.

Zynga is a company that makes socially connected games and is incredibly popular on Facebook. They are the company behind Farmville.

Specifically, if you submit products in the categories of Electronics, Books, and Media in the U.S. you will need to pass along more product attributes or the products won't display in future searches. For these products to show, you will need to include the unique product identifiers, such as MPN, Brand, GTIN/UPC/EAN or ISBN. If you do \n\t\tGoogle Maps Labs Adds Automatic Short URL For \"Link\" Feature \n\t\tIf you visit Google Maps Labs you will notice they have added some features. The most exciting new feature for me is the use of Google's URL shortener for the \"link\" button. For example, I can now link to my business's location using http://goo.gl/maps/rNAh instead of a really long and hard to read URL. To activate this feature, go to Google Maps Labs and click enable for the \"Short URL\" feature. Then load Google Maps \n\t\t2010 FIFA World Cup Final Google &amp; Yahoo Logos \n\t\tIf you visit Google or Yahoo today, you will see a special logo for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Finals. Today at 2:30pm (ET) on ABC in the United States the Netherlands play Spain. Most feel Spain will win, but who knows. Here is the Google logo: I should note, both Google and Yahoo and others had logos for when FIFA kicked off. Yahoo's logo today is very similar to what it was then, but \n\t\tVideo Recap of Weekly Search Buzz :: July 9, 2010 \n\t\tIn this week's video recap, I go through the July 2010 Google webmaster report. I also discuss how Yahoo has dramatically changed their algorithm, but no one really knows why. Google banned AdWords help and it is really causing issues with support related concerns. Google is now showing related video video icons in the search results. Google dropped support for using one double quote when searching. Google had a bug when searching with a hash, \n\n\nOther Great Search Forum Threads:\n\n\t18  SEO Excel Functions, Sphinn\n\tDoodle Independencia de Argentina, Google Blogoscoped Forum\n\tYouTube supports huge original video resolutions up to 4k (IMAX is 2k), Google Blogoscoped Forum\n\t4K Video Comes to YouTube, WebmasterWorld\n\tGoogle auto-search suggestions for &amp;quot;heterosexual&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;homosexual&amp;quot; but not &amp;quot;bisexual&amp;quot;???, Google Web Search Help\n\tLightbox: Yes Or No?, HighRankings Forums\n\tRanking drops immediately after placing a link in a forum signature, WebmasterWorld\n\tShare your opinion with us: Multi-client accounts, Google Merchant Center Help\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
