Yahoo has seen its market share rise in the US after it recently replaced Google as the default search engine in updated versions of the Firefox web browser. Dave and I discuss the implications of a three search engine market and welcome competition back to the search engine landscape.
We also discuss a handy flowchart published by Janet Driscoll Miller about when a business owner should seek out a consultant.
Lastly, we talk about a video from Google’s John Mueller where John suggests the link quality focused Penguin algorithm has been folded into the greater algorithm. While we might see tweaks here and there, we are unlikely to see another major Penguin update. Penguin is now everflux. Dave and I discuss how this development effects SEO.

This poem belongs to Facebook
They own it right and true
I gave it to them when I typed
A short response to you
My history belongs to Facebook
I signed those rights away
I made the choice to sell my voice
To watch your cats at play
Culture belongs to Facebook
It’s in the TOC
Faster, bigger, and wider data
Examining you and me
Of interest to statisticians
And insurance salesmen too
Your life’s a series of numbers
A portal into you.

Alan wrote about a highly successful Panda recovery Digital Always Media assisted with in his article, , published at LinkedIn. Here’s an excerpt from that piece.
Organic traffic from Google, Bing, and other search engines is the life blood of most websites. Search is how most people will first discover your site, some of which will become your customers. Without this free traffic source companies need to spend real money on various forms of advertising to drive traffic to their websites.
Remember search engines are basically electronic sorting machines. The goal of a search engine is to sort and rank the best content that matches with a users search query. Websites that are constructed to optimally mesh their content with the search engine’s sorting algorithm will tend to rank better than other websites that haven’t optimized. Yet when it comes to optimizing their websites to work with the search engines, many organizations leave in the hands of inadequately trained staff or to lower-cost/lower-skill companies or individuals who claim to offer SEO services.
In a recent article, “”, I detailed an example of what it can cost a company in lost traffic and time to recover that lost traffic. To err is human and in some cases, to err can be quite expensive.
