Anglo Rank, the network Google penalized the week before, promises to come back stronger. Google is working on promoting the good guys. Google’s Matt Cutts said they minimize major updates before the holidays, implying there was no update on the 17th but I am seeing signs of an update on the 19th. Google may have softened the EMD, exact match domain, algorithm. Google did indeed reduce the authorship from showing in the search results. Google’s Matt Cutts said they try to break the spirits of black hat spammers. Google improved the URL removal tool. Google says vanity Google+ URLs work fine for authorship. Google AdSense goes back to square arrows. Google Glass XE12 supports iOS and much more. Google published their Zeitgeist this week. Happy holidays and that was this past week at the Search Engine Roundtable.
