In this week's recap, I first discuss the 30 sessions we covered at the SES San Jose show this past week. I then get into the Google Caffeine update and what it is all about, including some religious debate. I discuss how Microsoft is clicking on their own Bing search ads. They also still have this single query word issue, maybe a cloaking test again? I ran a poll on nofollow links, where 38% said they would keep the nofollow on their links. AdWords tests a new product ad spot. AdSense bug prevents changing the channel names. There is a Webmaster Tools bug with PageRank distribution charts. Google's help forum gets redesigned. Google Doodles this week features the Perseids meteor shower and Hans Christian Ørsted's 232nd birthday. That was this week at the Search Engine Roundtable.
