Internet & Affiliate Marketing News

Yahoo has just launched their new service Yahoo Answers. It is very similar to Google Answers. Right now the service is available only in the USA, Canada, U.K, India and Australia. It will soon be introduced in other countries. Yahoo Answers will be shown in many different languages as well to provide relevant results to Yahoo Search. Yahoo Answers has many different categories in which you can look up the “top answerer” and the person with the most “best answers”. Seems like Yahoo is trying to keep up with Google to dominate the market. That’s good for us !

Google has just recently launched “Google Trends”. You can now search for a specific keyword or keyword phrase and Google will pull up the search volume of the keyword over the years. This tool can be very useful for those who use Google Adwords to promote their business. You can do some good keyword research with Google Trends.

When you do a search using Google Trends you will be able to see how the specific keyword phrase was performing over the last few years. It will pull up a graph which will allow you to see if the demand for a the that keyword is raising or falling.

It’s a nice very useful tool that can help Google Adwords advertisers to plan their campaigns for higher profits.

Google introduced at the beginning of 2006 the new update called “Bigdaddy update”. This is probably the biggest update to Google’s algorithm and how the websites are going to be ranked in search results. Basically Google is using a network of data centers with different IPs which are sharing the workload to answer search queries. This update was integrated to help those webmasters who follow the Google’s webmaster guidelines to rank better. On the other hand, those who use the “Black Hat” strategies to manipulate their rankings will take a big hit.

This new update also includes new search engine spider called Mozilla Bot which is supposed be able to index faster, smarter, and reach different content more in depth.

This new update will have a huge impact on many webmasters who are using the black hat techniques. This is just another reason why you should build high quality original content websites instead of trying to make a quick buck.
