This week we have seen a lot of instability in the Google search results, but I am not sure if there is a Google update going on or not. Same with last Friday, there was something going on. It may or may not be related to a mass DNS issue within Google Webmaster Tools. Google’s Matt Cutts is asking for new ideas and feedback on Webmaster Tools, I offered one, give us an automated actions viewer so we don’t have to chase our tails. Google’s Matt Cutts also said that meta descriptions must be unique or empty. Cutts also gave us eight reasons when to use the Google Disavow tool. Google AdSense is testing a new home page. Google AdSense is also testing a new ad format with logo and text. Google AdWords now has hangout style video support call. Google Glass released more on their Glass Developer Kit (GDK). Google and Microsoft are fighting child pornography. Microsoft added Scroogle swag to their Microsoft Store. Google has a sweet logo for Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary, which is tomorrow but should be live later today. If you want to speak at SMX Israel, let me know asap. That was this past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable.
