Theme Zoom architect Sue Bell has covered the launch of this tool in a recent blog post called Google’s Latest Update – How to Avoid Loosing More Money. The above video quickly covers the most important thing you need to know about the Google Disavow Tool and much of this comes from Matt Cutts of Google.

There are several plugins that claim to help you do this, but most of them are lying- or not telling you the complete truth. Many of them pass off the “Google Video” search results as the video thumb trick indexing, but obviously we are not talking about that! The example above is the “legacy” search result and not a secondary results page:

Russell Wright / December 26, 2011 1:15 pm
Content curation often pretends to be something different than journalism. I agree that it is, but only in context. Essentially it is a lot harder work, because- instead of completing a single story headline (un-burying the lead)- you have to provide ‘potential-meaning” for a large data set- or larger archive of headlines. As Bucky Fuller said, “the generalist will own the future”. Curators are the new digital generalists.

What Does This Mean? The Big Data Concern:
The problem with losing 10% of your tracking data is not that the number represents a significant impact on your data at large. The problem is that it creates a real, unavoidable selection bias in your Google Analytics. There are, more likely than not, substantive differences between individuals who tend to be logged in and those who do not. Subsequently, conversion statistics generated from organic data in Google may misrepresent the actual behavior of your general user base because it neglects to include that 10%. This is especially important if that 10% proves to be a valuable, higher converting audience (which could be related to their technological savvy, for example).

What we really hope you will take into consideration is how the obvious move of Google Place Search- the organizing of Universal Search keywords and themes around places and locations- is a necessary part of a standard public relations campaign. Nobody is talking about this because only SEO professionals are addressing the Google Place Search, and as you know, the average SEO is notoriously bad at worrying only about link building and getting the customer on the first page of Google, or now, the first three positions on Google. Exceptions to this rule are long time SEO’s who have watched all of the changes go down from the early days of link-powered “page rank” to the current trend towards vote-powered “like rank”.

Last week Yahoo! transitioned their search engine backend to pull results from Microsoft’s Bing. The result is that Yahoo will *look* the same, but the results will now come from Bing. This will allow Microsoft and Yahoo to combine their resources for indexing and allow their advertisers a larger market share, as well as significantly reducing Yahoo operational costs. An understandable play given circumstances. Yahoo was on the verge of going bankrupt without this intersession. Casualties of this transition, however, include Yahoo’s Link and LinkDomain legacy search functions.
