Google Started to Re-Index Google-Penalty-Like Sites?
Google Started to Re-Index Google-Penalty-Like Sites? I’ve noticed a significant change in google index. Google bot started to index my new pages.
“Scarcity brings clarity,” says Marissa Mayer, the blonde cyborg who runs Google’s search engine
“Scarcity brings clarity,” says Marissa Mayer, the blonde cyborg who runs Google’s search engine, in a BusinessWeek interview. She makes fun of Dilbert-style managers — but in reality, she shows how she’s turned into one.
Mayer, a striking Midwestern blonde with a nerdy laugh, was employee No. 20 at Google, and she eagerly grabbed authority as she rose from engineer to director to vice president. (Google is stingy with titles, so an executive slot there is vastly harder to get than at, say, a bank, where even a branch manager can be a VP.)
But what, exactly, does she do? She works long hours, she tells interviewers. But it’s not clear what she spends her time on. Spreadsheets of cupcake recipes? Employees report that she’s famous for not preparing for meetings, making spur-of-the-moment decisions on products based on five-minute presentations.
And how does she make her decisions? Based on the “user experience,” which pretty much means whatever Mayer thinks is right. Oh, sure, she goes through mounds of data — but anyone who’s worked with spreadsheets knows there’s always a way to make the numbers say what you want them to say.

Many people ask us if Jason Calacanis, the Internet entrepreneur, is stupid.
Many people ask us if Jason Calacanis, the Internet entrepreneur, is stupid. No, but he says stupid things. While he’s an expert at timing the market, his plan to fix the economy is all backwards.
It’s actually not surprising that Calacanis has attracted a small group of loyal followers who hang on his every word. Let’s review the evidence: He ran a tech magazine in the ’90s but failed to cash out big. Dumb! He sold a bunch of blogs to AOL for $25 million in 2005, before everyone figured out blogs weren’t worth very much. Smart! He squeezed $40 million out of Sequoia Capital, a notoriously tightfisted venture-capital firm, before things went bust in the Valley and Sequoia started telling everyone to lay people off. Smart! He stopped blogging when he realized that it just gave angry people on the Internet a platform to bash him. Smart!
Last weekend, around 60 entrepreneurs under age 35 flew to Cancun for a retreat informally dubbed Summit Series.
Last weekend, around 60 entrepreneurs under age 35 flew to Cancun for a retreat informally dubbed Summit Series. CNET reporter Caroline McCarthy was one of the press attendees who agreed not to name names. Nice try. The list of attendees identified below includes Dave Morin from Facebook, Joe Green who roomed with Mark Zuckerberg in college, and Sam Lessin who just got back from lip-dubbing Journey at Camp Cyprus. Tony Hsieh just laid off 8 percent of his Zappos staff. Ex-Googler Chris Sacca may or may not be rich, but I’m jealous of him anyway.
The Most Stupid Web Feature of 2008
It’s absolutely Google’s SearchWiki. It lets you to remove an entire site from your life. Wow Just Wow.
Twitter CEO Evan Williams turned down Facebook’s $500 million
Twitter CEO Evan Williams always seems to be where the action is. He sold his blogging company to Google in 2003. He chased the short-lived podcasting craze with another startup. That company accidentally spawned Twitter, the microblogging service that’s stolen the buzz from bloggers. It seems sensible that Williams would sell Twitter to Facebook, another social networking site that actually makes money. So why did he and his board turn down a $500 million offer from Facebook?
IF Google Stop Indexing My Site/Blog Why Should it Be? What should i do?
What Would you do if Google stopped indexing your site? Would you panic? Maybe. Because Google Traffic is very important and free. It’s great for branding and getting direct visitors. And it’s one of the most important step of online visibility.
If Google stopped indexing you;
The Reason Might Be;
1-) Probably you haven’t been added new content for more than a week.
2-) You created a lot of content in a short time period. (including fetched rss content)
3-) You bought links.
4-) You linked to that site from your other blogs / sites in a short time period.
What Should you do?
1-) Stop doing that “4″.
2-) If your site isn’t appearing in Google search results, or it’s performing more poorly than it once did (and you believe that it does not violate our webmaster guidelines), you can ask Google to reconsider your site.
In addition, if you recently purchased a domain that you think may have violated our guidelines before you owned it, you can use the reconsideration request form to let us know that you recently acquired the site and that it now adheres to the guidelines.
To request reconsideration of your site:
- First, make sure you’ve added your site to your Webmaster Tools account, and verified site ownership.
- Sign in to Google Webmaster Tools.
- On the Dashboard, under Talk to Google in the list on the right, click Request reconsideration and follow the steps.
Current.com’s “Remember Me” doesn’t work.
Nowadays, i follow Al Gore’s current.com. It’s has a style and this style seperate it from the social news sites crowd. But there is an annoying problem currently on the site. The “remember me” option at login doesn’t work. And i’m really tired of typing my user name and password. This problem should urgently be solved. Because many users doesn’t like that.
Making Facebook Safe Against Spam
Last Friday, Facebook won an important victory for our users – and against spam and those who create it.
We’ve all experienced spam – those unwanted and, sometimes, inappropriate marketing messages. The bad guys behind those messages are always looking to find new ways to annoy people and Facebook’s users have been among those targeted. We don’t take this affront to our users lying down.
In a court in San Jose, after a legal proceeding lasting four months, federal Judge Jeremy Fogel awarded Facebook $873 million in damages against Adam Guerbuez and Atlantis Blue Capital for sending sleazy messages to our users. The award is the largest judgment in history for an action brought under Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM).
Does Facebook expect to quickly collect $873 million and share the proceeds in some way with our users? Alas, no. It’s unlikely that Geurbez and Atlantis Blue Capital could ever honor the judgment rendered against them (though we will certainly collect everything we can). But we are confident that this award represents a powerful deterrent to anyone and everyone who would seek to abuse Facebook and its users.

Google has been quietly laying off staff and up to 10,000 jobs could be on the chopping block according to sources.
Google has been quietly laying off staff and up to 10,000 jobs could be on the chopping block according to sources. Since August, hundreds of employees have been laid off and there are reports that about 500 of them were recruiters for Google.
By law, Google is required to report layoffs publicly and with the SEC however, Google has managed to get around the legal requirement. In fact, one of the ways Google was able to meet Wall Street’s Q3 earnings expectations was by trimming “operational” expenses.
Google reports to the SEC that it has 20,123 employees but in reality it has 30,000. Why the discrepancy? Google classifies 10,000 of the employees as temporary operational expenses or “workers”. Google co-founder Sergey Brin said, “There is no question that the number (of workers) is too high”.
The classification affords Google several advantages such as:
1) Hire full time employees without full time benefits. The classification enables Google to pay them above minimum wage, provide no health benefits, no insurance coverage, no stock options, and no offer of permanent employment.
