The future of Google News – Interview with Krishna Bharat

I think there is no doubt about the fact that Google news did change the professional journalism.

Is it already a fact that the only company that will make money with news in future is Google?

Is there any business model that will allow Newspaper publishers to make money with there online magazines and news portals in future?

Google News, what comes next and how will it influence the future of professional journalism?

Maybe this was some questions that the Audience of the opening keynote session of IJ-7, the Seventh Conference on Innovation Journalism, at Stanford on June 9, 2010 had in mind when they listened to the speech of Krishna Bharat, the founder of Google News.

Perhaps there were some answers to this questions in Mr. Krishna Bharat speech, hi :) but one have to hear it twice and has to listen between the lines.



The Biggest SEO Mistakes


Which SEO likes to speak about the biggest SEO mistakes he did in past?

Hi :) Rand Fishkin @randfish from SEOmoz (SEOmoz) speaks about SEO mistakes he did in past, that’s cool.

I am sure there is not one SEO out there who did SEO for years who made no SEO mistakes, we all do and as we all learn best from mistakes, why not speak about? I think it’s a pretty good idea from Rand to speak open about the SEO Mistakes that he did in past, because that shows all other SEOs that not one SEO doesn’t make mistakes, even the best SEOs do.

So lets share our SEO experiences even the worst.

Here are the return of Rand in a Video and his self declared biggest SEO mistakes. SEO is complicated. The best we can do is practice, work hard and compare notes.



Thanks to Rand for sharing even his worst SEO experiences.

Mayday Update Google May 2010

Google MayDay Update 2010

Mayday Google Update -- May 1st 2010 -- will this day be remembered as the day when the long tail died?

I don’t think so, but for sure web directories and online shop owners did notice the effects of Google’s so-called “May Day Update”. Around April 27th to May 5th a lot of sites noticed a loss of 5-25% of their normal long tail traffic.

Why did websites which are Long tail SEO optimized lose their long tail search referrals?

Did Google reduce the size and depth of the primary index to keep Caffeine fast?
Was there broad link devaluations?
Was there a shift in how phrase match is performed?
Did Google increase the value of authority/brand sites?


What ever has happened, stay cool! Don’t Panic! There is one very important role in SEO, don’t act in panic, don not change anything on your website before you exact know what has happened and why otherwise you will maybe make thinks more worse than they already are.

Watch the video below to see what may have happened, and what you can do about it. Many thanks to Rand Fishkin from SEOmoz for his helpful analysis!



Matt Cutts was asked if he can give an update on rankings for long-tail searches?
