Search Pulse 42: Live Search Portal, Google AdWords Exclusion, Link Command, AdSense Click Change, & More

The 42nd edition of the Search Pulse is now available for download. Chris returned to the show to help Ben and I discuss some really exciting topics. We chatted about Microsofts new Live Search Webmaster Portal. We also discussed how Live Search's link command is now working. Google AdWords is testing a new advanced site exclusion feature. Google AdSense changed their on-click event behavior. Google fixed a bug with their total search results shown. AdWords is also testing a "products from this advertisers" feature and AdWords still has a bug with their diagnostic tool.
