Google is cleaning up. The online giant is again saying goodbye to several products they developed over the past years. Many of the products came from the illustrious 80/20 rule where Googlers are able to work on projects they thought of themselves for 20% of their time.
Other products are bought products, mainly intended to catch up with some of the developments on the web, like for example one of the products getting killed, Jaiku. In this latest fall-clean up Google has decided to drop some social related products, Buzz and Jaiku for example, to really focus on Google+. (more…)
Who wouldn’t want to have a job at Google? Well maybe Mark Zuckerberg… And we probably can name a few others, but in general many people would love a job at Google, a job which will show you the inside of one of the worlds biggest online players. Plus a job with some nice benefits.
But how to get a job like that? I was pointed at this infographic by a Googler, so there must be some truth in it…
With the Affiliate Conference A4U Expo coming up next week we figured it would be a nice idea to show a presentation around Affiliate Marketing. In this case it is Susan Bratton who talks about the importance of conversation, also within Affiliate Marketing. Bratton is co-founder of an affiliate network, a green Web hosting company, an ecommerce publishing site and a podcast network.
We probably don’t know half of all the stuff Google and Facebook know of us. And we probably even don’t want to know how much they know, because it would scare the **** out of us all.
This infograpghic at AllFacebook takes a look at who is worse, Google+ or Facebook. (more…)

Just a quick warning that some people have noticed there are phishing mails out there who are targeting Adwords account owners. In the e-mails (see examples below) the Adwords account owners are warned that their ads have stopped running based on “a number of issues”.
The owners are asked to verify the status of their Adwords accounts and notify Google if the ads do not appear online. When they go online they are led to a place which looks a lot like Adwords where they have to fill in their account details. (more…)
Only little over a week ago Google threw Panda 2.5 into the US market. That latest update gave food to a lot of discussion. Some sites seemed to be hit by the update which might not have supposed to be hit. The Next Web for example was mentioned, even though the people at the Next Web themselves didn’t see a direct consequence.
Now it seems as if Google has reversed the Panda 2.5 update. Searchmetrics tells us they are seeing a large-scale recovery in ranking data before and after Panda 2.5. (more…)
We love our infographics here on State of Search as you might have noticed. So we figured it was about time we created one ourselves. Well sort of. We used data from Google to create the infographic below.
In this infographic we look at some ‘fun’ and interesting data from Google. Did you know for example that 16% of the daily queries are completely unique? Or that the +1 button is seen no less than five billion times every day? Just a few facts. Enjoy, and spread

This Friday we bring you somebody who is welcomed with open arms everywhere he goes. He evangelizes Google Analytics and has written many books on the Analytics topic: Avinash Kaushik.
When Carol Bartz was fired in a way the “Bold and the Beautiful” writers could have thought of immediately rumors started about Yahoo possibly being up for sale. So far there is no official news around that, but now there are rumors that Yahoo’s partner in crime when it comes to search, Microsoft, might be considering a new attempt to buy Yahoo.
In 2008 Microsoft also tried to buy Yahoo bidding up to an amount of 44.6 billion dollars in a hostile take over attempt. That take over then was prevented and Yahoo and Microsoft found each other in a special search deal with Bing. (more…)
