Search Engine Reports

December 2007
Sites that held positions 8, 9, or 10 in Google before the engine added news, video, and local listings at the top of the results page may have found themselves bumped to page two. The good news is that Google has since made some adjustments. If your site was one of those affected by the change, probably you will see it back on page one.

It appears that Yahoo's recent algorithm adjustment favors smaller and newer sites, relying less on measurements favored by Google - site age and authority - than it once did.

Google announces the development of a new open-source mobile phone platform.

Yahoo de-bugs Site Explorer's link analysis tool.

Microsoft introduces Live Search Webmaster Center, similar to Google's Webmaster Central. Webmasters can use it to manage their XML sitemaps, robots.txt files, link analysis, and view rankings.

Microsoft launches Live Desktop Suite. Each component is designed to connect with the others, and connect Windows with the Internet. Among other things, Live Desktop Suite includes email, instant messaging, and a photo gallery.
