We also discuss Bing’s search spike, possibly due to spam tests and how you may want to reallocate your marketing budgets. Google is asking webmasters for suggestions, so go get it. Google told us why they shorten URLs. Google AdSense is adding up and I explain why. Google tests new commission or pay for performance based product ads. Google tests Google AdSense for Apps for the iPhone and Android. AdWords My Client Center might be frustratingly buggy. Google Export Advisor is a nice tool to help your SEM efforts globally. I gave tips on getting into Google Finance. Michael Jackson death sends shock waves through the Internet.

Google got hit with wildcard domain issues. Google Alerts is trigger happy. Google shows a did you mean answer for a child day care service, leading to a site. Google’s strict image search option shows more than the moderate search. Danny Sullivan slaps Microsoft on their search initiatives. Microsoft’s Content Ads program is doing poorly.
