On September 11th we covered why Google doesn't have a logo, but yet will "fix" Google Maps for "September 11 Attacks." We did however show off the logos for Bing and Ask.com for their remembrance. Also, Labor Day, Google didn't have a logo, but Ask.com, Bing and Dogpile did. Google did a logo for 9/9/09 at 9:09:09 and a weird missing "O" logo on Saturday. Google made their search box much larger. Longer domain name registration does not improve SEO, Google said. Keywords in the URL help with SEO according to our most recent poll. UK and Ireland are very similar and even on different ccTLDs can result in duplicate content. Google Sitelinks are now in the search snippets. Bing fake referrers might be back, but are they even paying attention to the robots.txt files? Yahoo search ads should get cheaper and they added a new report. Google Base added a YouTube attribute to link up videos. Google AdWords advertiser threatens suicide. How can you stop search spiders on the Jewish Shabbat? Finally, did you check out Google Monopoly? That was this week at the Search Engine Roundtable.
