In this Memorial Day weekend recap, I discuss the recent Google changes, floating fours, case sensitivity, minus X penalties and the local universal search change. I mock Microsoft Live Search's Cashback program. I looked into Ask.com's search update and then move to Yahoo's search ad change. Google updated the AdWords billing page.

Memorial Day Weekend - My wife and I just traveled to Toledo, OH to visit the fam. We went to her younger sisters graduation party and visited some old friends. Not too much

Want the list? Lots of driving up and down IH-35 to see friends, a "white trash" party, and attending Scarborough Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie, TX in full regalia. No joke :)

I went to my g/f's nephews birthday party and got a sinus infection so I spent Memorial Day in bed. Super nice day and I was stuck inside.
