This week, I recap the monthly Google Webmaster report. I also discuss how Google's Matt Cutts wants the web to be like Apple packaging. Googlers also caught snapping at webmasters. I did not know hyperlinked headlines can cause issues for Google News. Google recommended webmasters to stop using marquees. Do you know some of the link building bargaining chips. AdWords will soon step up security with SSL requirements and privacy and opt out requirements. Bing Shopping also is requiring their merchants to be SSL complaint. Google Product Search is now requiring unique IDs in the data files. Google AdSense is showing advertiser URLs in the tooltip. Google is testing voice search on Google.com. Google site speed is now on Google Analytics. Blackberry is now prepacking Bing search and maps into their operating system. Cinco de Mayo was celebrated by Bing, Yahoo, Dogpile and Ask but not Google. Google did have a logo for the 160th anniversary of the World's Fair. That was this past week at the Search Engine Roundtable.
