(Text) Recap of Weekly Search Buzz :: April 12, 2009

Apr 12, 2009 - 11:01 am 0 by

Due to the Passover holiday, I am only posting a text recap for the past week's coverage here at the Search Engine Roundtable.

Google is making local queries more generic. There was link building prior to Google, see my write up on it, with Eric Ward's excellent comment. AdWords employee may have stepped over the line, ShoeMoney sues. Google testing a Twitter ad unit? Google ups the competitive ad filter. Publishers are still optimistic about earning potential. Amazon ditches affiliates who use search ads. Google is the newspapers best friend. Easter logos are hard to find.

Next week, I hope to post a video recap.
