Duplicate Content & Usability | Desktop Internet vs Mobile Web
Questions of the Day: How do we have a .com website and a .mobi website without having duplicate content?

What if our .com website url is too long for the Mobile Web?

Google Maps – already found a bug
Well, it didn’t take very long;-) I went back to edit my post to change “Here are some examples of what it can do” to “Here is an example of what it can do – ” and guess what? I can’t make any edits on the page! It’s probably not an issue with an html site, but I guess I’ll drop a note to Google and let ‘em know. Also, I wanted to link to [...]

As if Google Maps weren’t cool enough. Now you can add a Google map to your blog or website just by copying and pasting a snippet of HTML. In other words – it takes about 5 minutes.

This post by Ted Ulle (tedster), administrator for Webmaster World – Proposed: Google Should Stop Displaying Toolbar PR? has sparked nearly 200 responses.

For all you doubters out there….
Ahem…
In less than 24 hours from the time I posted about Supplemental Results, Google declared that the label “Supplemental Results” ceases to exist.
In the graphic I posted yesterday, you saw the phrase “Supplemental Results”. Today, you will no longer see that as Google announced on their Webmasters Blog:
The distinction between the main and the supplemental index is therefore continuing to narrow. Given all the progress that we’ve been able to make so far, and thinking [...]
