Bing has been very visible at SES and other conferences to promote their new search engine and it’s webmaster tools functions. Is this clip from SES’s You Tube Channel, Alessandro Catorcini and Rajesh Srivastav, both of Bing, discuss Bing’s search engine usability with John Mulligan, SEO-PR at SES San Jose 2009.
They also discuss Bing’s API which is open to everyone to use at http://www.bing.com/developers. Just simply register for their application ID tp begin using all of Bing’s products to call its API.
They also point out that Bing has features such as the outbound and backlink functionality not found in other search engine webmaster tools.
Google made historic news yesterday by declaring they do not use the meta keywords tag. Okay, I am being sarcastic. Google hasn’t used the meta keywords tag for a long time and any “SEO” should know that. So why did Google blog about this, on the record? At least two reasons, (1) people continue to sue over it by claiming copyright infringement and people confuse the meta keywords with the meta description, which Google does recommend to use.
So there are official posts from Matt Cutts, the Google Blog and Search Engine Land trying to erase any confusion from people who are new to this space.
If you want to know which meta tags Google does pay attention to, see this FAQ. Plus, Google’s JohnMu tweeted that Google also does “not adhere to the “revisit-after” meta tag,” if you wanted to know.
Finally, here is a video if you don’t want to read any of this:
Google is warning webmasters about duplicate content and various site issues. A few months back, Google explained the multiple pros and cons of duplicacy in the content and the related issues showing their concern over it.
The Duplicate Content and Multiple Site Issue was a hot topic at last month’s Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose. Google has reproduced the talk on the Google Webmaster Central YouTube Channel.
