Welcome to the next search video recap! Matt Cutts did a live Q&A event for 45 minutes on YouTube Live, if you missed it we have the archived version. There were reports of Panda 2.5, those reports are wrong. Google counts impressions in Webmaster Tools differently for Sitelinks. Instant Previews are available for Sitelinks and now work as hovers. Bing launched Adaptive Search, which is personalized search based on search history. Yahoo moved Asian markets to Bing powered organic results. AdWords tests a new embedded lead capture form. Google +1 button influences AdSense display ads. There is a hold payments bug with AdSense. Hope you updated your Google merchant data feeds, because the new rules came into play yesterday. Google launched Google + to all and added features, plus a bad promotion on Google's home page. Google had their anti-trust hearing this week with Eric Schmidt on the stand. Facebook launched a new feature named Timeline. Bing added a video background theme, it rocks. I'll be doing a live Q&A in NYC for $50 on October 3rd and 6pm, please come. That was this past week at the Search Engine Roundtable.
