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.

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.
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.
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.
Even Google is Focusing on Costs. You have to focuse too.
Google Inc., owner of the most popular Internet search engine, is adding fewer employees and focusing on controlling expenses amid the global economic slump, Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt said.
“We have slowed our hiring, but we’re still hiring,” Schmidt said in an interview that will be aired on Bloomberg Television at 9 p.m. New York time. “We’re still doing the same kinds of exciting and crazy things that Google always does.”
Google is grappling with an economic slowdown that’s curbing growth in the online advertising market, while competition intensifies with Yahoo! Inc. and Microsoft Corp. for customers’ budgets. Schmidt said that while the overall ad market may be shrinking, Google benefits from its ability to target specific users. The company’s business hasn’t changed significantly in the past two weeks, he said.
Google has released a new web site to help simply and centralize information about voting locations and voter registration.
aft news / With the upcoming U.S. elections only 12 days away, Google has released a new web site to help simply and centralize information about voting locations and voter registration. According to a blog post about the new U.S. Voter Info site, Google found it hard to believe that in 2008, this type of important information isn’t better organized on the web. Because organizing info is what Google is all about, they took it on themselves to step in where government has not and have created an incredibly useful site for all U.S. citizens.
The U.S. Voter Info site was developed in partnership with with several state and local election officials, the League of Women Voters, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and others involved in the Voting Information Project. In true Google form, the site appears to as just a simple interface that hides the complicated data processing going on in the back-end. All you have to do to use the new site is enter in your home address in the box provided and click “Search.”
Googlers have slowly been realizing that their job isn’t an entitlement. GOOG could lay off 10 percent of its work force and see no difference in revenue.
aftnews / Yes, Google has laid off employees before. But those were DoubleClick employees. America’s CTO, Eric Schmidt, managed to cull any deadwood from Google’s Mountain View campus without it becoming a hot story. This time it’s different, writes one of my leakers, and all the smart people can smell it. Here’s the algorithm. Read The Rest
Why the Google’s 10th Anniversary Party Was in Greece?
The celebration for Google’s tenth anniversary party was held in Rhodes, Greece, of all places. It doesn’t get much more lavish than flying employees from offices around the world to a popular tourist destination, near the peak of the travel season. One self-proclaimed shareholder employee complained that “spending I’m guessing $1000/a head = $4,000,000 on a party in Greece for European Googlers and (no doubt) ’special’ USA based employees is shameful and un-Googley.”

Google Chrome Googasm
Fail and You Last week, Google released a web browser called Chrome, and the online tech media had a powerful Googasm. We were long overdue for another climax like this, having been lightly stimulated with half-baked Google web products in the four years since GMail was released.
Every time the media fires off its gravy so violently, it highlights how little some of the supposed “experts” actually know about computers. Case in point: People saying that Google Chrome is an operating system designed to compete head-to-head with Microsoft Windows.
understand the argument that as web applications proliferate, the desktop operating system becomes less important, and emphasis is placed on the browser. That’s all well and good, but let’s be realistic here. It’s a fucking web browser. It runs JavaScript a bit faster than other web browsers. That doesn’t add up to a Windows killer.
