Google Webmaster ReportHere is our monthly recap of the changes made to Google that impact webmasters and SEO. Before we give the recap, I wanted to pull out of the WebmasterWorld thread the three things webmasters are talking about right now in terms of Google's search results changes. They include:

  • Long Tail Sites Seeing Huge Fluctuations In Google Traffic
  • E-Commerce Sites Not Ranking As Well
  • Google's Localization Changed (Google Venice)

Here are the stories that I pulled out over the past month which are important and related to Google SEO topics:
