the-pulse-icon.jpgThe twenty-ninth edition of the Search Pulse is now available for download. This show we had a special guest come on 15 minutes in, because Ben was unable to be on this show. Todd Malicoat aka Stuntdubl joined us to give us some really great tips on obtaining .edu links. Outside of that we talked about the Microsoft and Yahoo possible merger. Yahoo's new robots-nocontent tag and Matt's rebuttal of the so called "Google Hell." We also talked about AdSense topics, Microsoft adCenter topics, AdWords and more topics. 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.
