Search Pulse 36: Google Tools, Spider Craze, Jailed Google Bomber, PageRank Chatter & More

The 36th edition of the Search Pulse is now available for download. I was not on this show, but Ben and Chris covered many of the exciting topics for the past two weeks. From Google Webmaster Tool's new design and PageRank issues to how Google spiders large sites. Heck, even a Google Bomber went to prison. We discussed many other 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.
