      <title>Google Instant</title>
      <link>http://www.searchcowboys.com/google/1609/fromfeed</link>
      <description>@sam Thanks for the comment. Funny, I was thinking about how my mom will feel about Google Instant as well. Hard enough for her to choose between the first five already :-)  Agree on the longtail search effect, will people have the patience to wait and see as they type or will they get distracted by an earlier result. We will see in our analytics data I guess!</description>

      <description>I think there are a lot of implications as a result of this and I think it's one of the most drastic updates to Google from a user's perspective in quite some time.

Additionally- it seems like there are a number of things that could happen/change/be refined.

Of all the impacts, it definitely feels like longer tail search (and SEO) will be impacted most seriously. That said, I think Wil Reynolds may have put it best in reference to letting the data speak before flipping our tops on this.

My personal view: this will have lasting and serious impacts on the suggestions we make (i.e. pluralization may become more important than ever and keyphrase research may take significantly longer to yield any useful results). The long tail will be hit hardest of all. 

But, I think at the end of the day this is going to be a tough one for Google. Users may not like it - Lord knows people like my Mom will be confused, SEOs and online businesses impacted negatively will likely complain (the state of Texas is already pressing on antitrust issues), and finally I think even the average/more advanced searcher will eventually lose interest in the novelty of this and the skewed searches.

No one likes to be told what to do- I'd give it two weeks before your average user (myself included) stops playing and starts searching for the queries I think will yield me the best results... not the ones Google tells me matter.</description>

      <title>Google indexes SVG</title>
      <link>http://www.searchcowboys.com/google/1606/fromfeed</link>
      <description>if i'm correct, SVG is used in mobile web applications. So my guess is that Google want to start indexing the mobile web asap.</description>

      <description> I do agree, a little transparency would not hurt their partnership a lot. Its just about the trust you put in for them in giving them their account details.</description>

      <description>Holy Cowboy! I'm surprised this kind of thing is even still going on.

I'd compare this to the old days of dodgy magazine / journal publications without an ABC claiming to circulate, whatever, say, 100,000 copies and only print a 1,000 to post their advertisers. Made me laugh.</description>

      <description>I think this statement &amp;quot;PageRank doesn't matter at all to get your pages crawled.&amp;quot; can be very easily clarified from a very simple things which we already know. They are, crawling is the first step designed to a bot, next comes indexing, next ranking. I have just given a brief process about crawlers behavior without going deep into that. So I would like to say that any search bot even before ranking a page should first crawl and index it and later decide its ranking. </description>

      <description>The question was a complete different one than Matt is answering. It was about the importance of the first link to a subpage, when there are multiple links doing the same. That's what I wanted to know...</description>

      <description>@ Olaf Lederer: Actually, people will be so pleased that the Geocities pages that they value have been saved, that they'll give retrospective licences to this guy to do it.</description>

      <description>I agree Olivier. We should never be scared of denouncing these, even in public ! I always tell my client that Google AdWords is totally transparent so my role is to align myself to this approach. And I sincerely believe it can grow a market. G</description>

      <description>I can only agree with this move from Google! It is a relief that Google is taking this position.

On a similar subject we are still hearing too many stories of advertisers that are loosing all their SE Data following a change of Agency. It has been and is still common practice to hear about cowboy agencies that don't have full transparency with their clients and consider the work they have done for their clients as the agency property while they have been paid by clients to do it! 

Advertisers should only select agencies that provide full transparency about data, share account logins and give the account ownership to their clients. </description>

      <description>Hi Lisa, v.interesting post. As a localization company, i'd like to know the results over the past 6 months? I think a multiple sitemap submission seems oversimplified, but I guess I could be wrong. Look forward to a follow-up. Cheers.</description>
