Written by firstrank on August 21, 2010
Prior to this week, Google would only show up to two results from the same domain on a single search result page. Now, Google has confirmed what many are seeing, where a single brand dominates a single page of Google’s search results.
This is not a bug, this is not an anomaly, it is an intentional change to Google’s ranking algorithm. Google said:
Today we’ve launched a change to our ranking algorithm that will make it much easier for users to find a large number of results from a single site. For queries that indicate a strong user interest in a particular ...

Estimate: Google Mobile Search Market...
Written by firstrank on July 29, 2010
Let’s be cautious about running too far with these numbers, but Royal Pingdom (using data from StatCounter) has reported/estimated Google’s global mobile search market share to be almost 100%
Google is clearly dominant in mobile search across smartphones (and feature phones). However these numbers may not be completely accurate. For example, the chart above shows PC and mobile search market share according to StatCounter. But while the general PC search share numbers may reflect selected markets (e.g., UK) they’re not accurate for the US and a number of other places around the world.
I’ve conducted mobile user surveys and seen plenty of ...

MySpace Acquires Threadbox Assets, Te...
Written by firstrank on July 17, 2010
MySpace's messaging interface may soon take a turn for the better - and/or the Facebook-like. Late yesterday, MySpace acknowledged that it's acquiring the assets and team of Threadbox, which deals in real-time social messaging and takes some amount of pride in comparisons to Facebook.
A short statement on the Threadbox homepage tells what the company's service is all about in reasonably objective terms, explaining, "Threadbox Messenger combines the convenience of email, real-time, and presence from instant messaging, and the simplicity and effortless sharing of social communications."
Then, in even bigger lettering, the homepage claims, "Threadbox Messenger is the new email."
And as you ...

Yahoo has closed its web directories in four countries, and it seems no one noticed. It happened back in December, and Yahoo is now redirecting those directories to the country-specific web search pages.

Caffeine Transforms Google From Bus t...
Written by firstrank on June 10, 2010
WebProNews spoke with Google's Matt Cutts out at SMX Advanced today. He talked a little about Caffeine, which Google just announced is complete, nearly a year after its initial announcement at SES, when Matt also spoke with us about it.
Caffeine, it should be noted, does not change how Google ranks content. It's all about the speed at which Google can index content. Cutts says you'll start seeing fresher results. This is separate from Google's real-time results. You'll see fresher results outside of that box as well.
He compared it to having a limo waiting for you to take you where you ...
