the-pulse-icon.jpg The 31st edition of the Search Pulse is now available for download. In this show we chatted about Google's new Universal Search approach. Microsoft is set to buy Chris Boggs' company, Avenue A/Razorfish. Google is shutting down AdSense arbitrage MFAs. Google launched hot trends, and we also talked about SEO, linking, anchor text, ip stuff and 301 redirects. Plus we discussed other stories involving Google, Yahoo, Ask.com and Live.com. The topics we covered are listed below, in order of priority (based on search community buzz). You can download the MP3 file and listen at your convenience.
