Google Launches Two Algorithm Updates Including New Panda
Changes to Google's algorithms happen often enough that when they are actually announced, the news must be bigger than the average update. In fact, they released two updates this week: Panda 4.0 and a new version of their so-called "payday loans" update intended to clean up traditionally spammy query terms.
Google Must 'Forget' Unfavorable Search Results in Europe
Europe's high court recently ruled that Google - and other search engines are required to remove results deemed to "appear to be inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive in relation to the purpose for which they were processed and in the light of the time that has elapsed." While some are happy that they can have negative results removed others are concerned that the public has the right to know important information about dirty politicians and convicted criminals.
‘Ok, Google’ Now Available For All U.S. Chrome Users
Chrome has added a new tool which allows users to search Google by talking to their PC. Just be saying "Ok, Google" users can use their microphone to start a new search. Just make sure you have the latest update, go to google.com, and click on the microphone icon to turn it on.
