Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

  • Video Recap of Weekly Search Buzz :: May 29, 2009
    In this week's video, which I created on Thursday, but published on Friday, we discussed several SEM topics. First, there was a Google Toolbar PageRank update.

  • How Google Can Keep AdSense "Great"
    A WebmasterWorld thread has discussion around what it will take for Google AdSense to "remain great." Clearly, you must first agree that AdSense is "great," and if you do, then we need to agree on what must be done for it to remain that way. Some of the suggestions in the thread include:
  • Googler Complaining About Spammers
