| Google Font 2007-06-02 03:45:00 I was just thinking if I could make a google like logo. I messed a lot with Adobe PS2 and it took me a lot of time to make a logo like google's. But accidentally I came across this site which produces google like logos for free. take a look for yourself.it does help a lot of people to make their logos especially if they want to write anything about google. This google font really catches eye, as there are a lot of people who swear by google. To create a google like logo, visit googlefont.com , enter the name of to be fonted and hit "Create font".This is simple isn't it. | | Google Street Map View Images Causing an Uproar 2007-05-31 20:37:00 I am upset. VERY upset. This new street image technology that Google is using is way too invasive.
I'm sure you've seen people on tv that have asked for their voices to be distorted and/or images blurred because they wish to keep their identities private for various safety reasons.
Why then would we just sit back and say, "Fine - no problem" while allowing Google vans to violate us with their drive-by shootings??????!!!!!!!
They could put many of us in danger by getting so up close and personal and I think we should do something to put a stop to this before the entire country is photographed!!!!!!!
I for one am e-mailing my elected officials and stating how I feel about this issue. I love the aerial satellite map photography feature, but this new one is too close for comfort.

But can you get a bit of a traffic boost as well?Sure. Sometimes not in the way you think…1. JoinJoin Google Groups if you haven’t already. Join discussions if you haven’t in a while. It’s going to be more difficult to apply theory to an experience you haven’t had. The Google Groups experience is similar to participating in forums, but it’s not exactly the same thing.And, as we say in Vegas, you can’t win if you don’t play.2.

The review gives some great insight and is definitely worth a read but one or two little snippets of info stand out above everything else.
The big one is the bit attributed to Udi Manber, Google’s VP of Engineering:
“20 to 25% of the queries that Google sees in any given day are queries that they have never seen before.
Wow. 20 to 25%. That took a while to sink in. Talk about reinforcing the value of a long tail strategy.”
So something like a quarter of the more than 100 million daily queries on Google are unique. That’s a shocking statistic. Surely that trend needs to be approaching a plateau of some sort? Anyway, it’s surely an eye opener for anyone doing keyword research.
It also shows the importance of writing “natural” copy, rich in semantically related terms.

Have you noticed how big Google has become over the years? We’re all familiar with Search Engine, most of us use it daily, but have you ever tried using Google’s supplemental services in your business?
We’re talking about Google’s other side, such as Google News, Google Checkout, Google Base, and much more.

Ask Google. 2007-05-21 06:17:16 After making a hell of an effort and doing a lot of PR work in order to control the opinions of their sheer disregard for users’ lack of privacy with regards to things like personal search histories and user accounts, Google has introduced yet another piece of technology to the world that will surely have them held up for criticism once again.
Google’s new tool is one that automatically transfers information from one computer system to another. Of course, unlike its predecessors, this software does in fact have to be authorised to a certain degree by its users before being administered, because (and here comes the hang nail) Google apparently have to store all transferred user information for a minimum of 30 days. (And here comes another not-so small bump in this uneven road in the quest for user convenience) This might be perceived as not too much of a risky compromise for the user, until, of course, they find out that the Bush Administration is demanding information on u | | Google Disabling Arbitrage and Made for Adsense Accounts 2007-05-20 18:34:10 Google is disabling arbitrage accounts as of June 1. | | Google Moves Closer to Universal Search 2007-05-19 10:00:00 Google changes its homepage as well as its mechanism for delivering resultsThis week marked another milestone for search giant Google. The company's simplistic homepage received a rather discrete update, moving the navigation options up to the top of the screen rather than docked at the search field. The move says Google, is to move closer to the goal of having universal search -- that is, one search providing all categories of results.To achieve this, Google is taking first steps to introduce users to more of its features. Google Blog Search, Book Search, Groups, code and other tools are now more readily accessible. Even Google's office productivity tools are more up front too. For instance, Google's Docs & Spreadsheets as well as its photo management application Picasa Web Albums are now easier to get to.The biggest improvement for Google is the method in which it now conducts searches.

Well, I decided that there is more to it than just the number of backlinks and pages indexed. So I did what we do best at Quirk, and played cricket...I mean did a little more digging.
But first, I need to explain some of the inconsistencies with the results from the tool in our previous report. Why did we get some negative values in the results for IOL and SA Gov sites? This was what it looked like:

| | Buy new domains with existing Google page rank and valuable inbound links?guaranteed! 2007-05-15 06:20:28 Many Internet Marketers use link exchange programs.
They spend boatloads of money trying to increase their websites’ link popularity.
It’s much easier to buy valuable dropping domains which already have great link popularity.
For example, did you notice that last year Microsoft forgot to renew their domain http://www.outlookexpress.com?
Since it had expired, anybody could grab it. After all, whoever owns this site is guaranteed more than 1500 visitors from Yahoo search alone every single month.
Its ranked #1 in Yahoo and the backlinks are priceless.
But you didn’t know about that and you missed your chance to own http://outlookexpress.com.
Warning: It’s not uncommon to miss renewal notices. If you have more than a few domains, this probably has already happened to you. If it hasn’t, it probably will.
Credit cards expire. Sometimes the auto-renew is unintentionally set to ‘off’. This is an easy way to lose a valuable old domain.
