Google Realtime Search

Today Google launched real time search, you can check it out here www.google.com/realtime.

From an SEO point of view, the search suggest results from real time and very different from those of normal search. This further supports the view that search suggest results come from text on the web rather than number of searches.

The best android game has just be released, Duck Hunt! This is an amazingly addictive game. Shoot the ducks and don’t hit the endangered birds! Loads of fun, play for 1 minute or 1 hour. Choose 2 ducks for an even harder challenge.

Managed Limited Company

Got a limited company but don’t want the accounting hassle? You could try Crunch Accounting. They have an amazing piece of online software which makes invoicing, expenses and payment a breeze. For £59.50 a month they pretty much take care of everything, registering the company, filing documents, registering for VAT, company address etc etc. I recommend them, their customer service is amazing.

Google SERPs Get Busy

admin — Fri, 07 May 2010 08:18:01 +0000

Google recently made some layout and design changes to both the homepage buttons, logo and more importantly the search engine results page.

Personally I’m not keen on the SERPs changes, the page now looks incredibly busy.

Having these additional options presented to the user could have some big impacts.

Decrease number of clicks on both Adwords and Natural results
Increased need for sites to push content to blogs, news, images, videos etc
Ensuring sites are included in the different filters, i.e. sites with images
