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.

Search Engine Roundtable Stories:

  • Google Image Search Update : June 2010
    A month and a half ago, we reported on a Google Image Search update. It seems there was another update over the weekend.
