Search Engine Reports

November, 2005
11/30/05: By now, the third wave of Google's latest algorithm change, known as "Jagger," seems to be complete. It appears to have been designed to better filter out sites that engage in illegitimate link strategies, sites that use hidden text, and newer sites. It seems to favor well-known brand name sites over small business sites.

11/23/05: Adwords advertisers may now bid different amounts for advertising on Google's content network and their search pages, a boon since traffic from content pages is usually less qualified.

11/19/05: Overwhelmed by demand, Google closes Google Analytics to new users.

11/18/05: Product related searches at MSN now show results from MSN Shopping before web results.

11/15/05: Google adds statistics to Sitemaps, a new form of web page submission introduced in June.

11/15/05: Webmasters may now upload data to Google Base, a searchable online database.

11/14/05: Google's acquisition of Urchin results in the release of Google Analytics. Designed for use by Adwords advertisers, this statistics package is now available to all webmasters for free.

11/10/05: Yahoo leaves bidding for AOL to Google, Comcast, and MSN.
