Well, that's it for me for the year.
The sun is blazing, there's cold beer in the fridge
and the days are turning lazy. Best wishes to you and
yours for the holidays, thanks for reading and sending
me stuff - very much appreciated. See you in the new
year sometime, once everything that is to drink, has
been drunk.
Isn't there always a million things
to do? Just look at the state of my lawn....

Froogle on Google: Froogle
results are now
showing on the top of Google serps.
Why put Froogle (free product feed
listings) on top when AdWords are pay-to-play? One
wonders how long Froogle will remain free.
Is there a commercial filter being
applied to the main results? With information sites
more likely to carry AdSense, then one could certainly
see the motivation. Whether this is happening, or will
happen in future, is pure speculation.
On top of all this, there appears
to be another update happening. Googleguy comments "expect
more changes in the near future". Never a dull
moment.
Just say "Yo!": Article
suggests that thou shalt not chase algos, then
goes on to explain how the new algo behaves. Hmmm.
One persons' "algo chase" is another persons' "best
practices", eh. Chris Ridings provides a commentary,
for which he will no doubt be sent to his room, without
dinner.
Dinner with Mike: Search
marketer and roving food critic, Mike Grehan has some
great things to say about building
relationships, and provides an interesting interview
with Teoma. Also, check out this excellent interview
with Google Engineer Daniel Dulitz.

maybe not. But she does now know what a Wal-Mart
is.
