This week we heard rumors of a Google Panda 2.2 update, which in fact is not live yet but should be coming soon. We updated you all with our monthly Google webmaster report. Bing added features to their Webmaster Tools. Google recommends using a single URL with no redirects for smart phone templates. Google is adding search engine optimization reports to Google Analytics. Google added an authorship rich snippet tag. Google now shows more images on Google web search. Google also launched a prayer times rich snippet, I go through some of the issues with it. SEOmoz released their 2011 search ranking factors study. Danny posted a SEO Periodic Table, it is very cool. Google replaced the "i" with Ad Choices in the AdSense ads. Google dropped many of their vertical search engines, like Uncle Sam search. I posted several polls this week. Google had a Richard Scarry doodle and a Les Paul interactive guitar logo that is live for the second day in a row. That was this past week at the Search Engine Roundtable.
