This week at the Search Engine Roundtable I give the monthly Google webmaster report. We also discuss how Matt Cutts told us that most of the webmaster tools notifications are black hat related and only 3% are link related. Google told us that each time a user uses Google, a dozen or more experiments are being shown to that user. Google said invalid URLs don't hurt the site generally. There may be a Google Image Search update underway. Google AdSense improved the appeals and banning process. Google added arrows to AdSense desktop ads. Google improved ad blocking allowing site level blocking. Google+ launched communities. Finally, this is the 9th year I am covering search at the Search Engine Roundtable.
