Excellent. The folks over at Search Engine Watch have compiled their book reviews on a single page, so you can see at a glance what each of the significant books on search have to say. I just ordered The Search by John Battelle (used in hardcover from Amazon for $12.01) and am hopeful that it is as entertaining as the reviewer makes it sound.
Worth noting: If you do a search on “google blog” (without the quotes), The Official Google Blog doesn’t show up until #7 (which is below the fold on many screens).
Perusing the better ranking sites, I came across this item: MSN Search has cool feature that Google doesn’t have: Solve For X! That’s right, boys and girls, another way to cheat in your trig class.
PCMag calls the article Tips and Tricks for Hacking Google, but they aren’t really hacks. Mostly plug-ins and advanced user settings for Gmail and Google Desktop. Check it out.
O’Reilly, publisher of the book Google Hacks, just posted some of their favorites on their site. Some of these acqually qualify as hacks. This item comes courtesy of the Unofficial Google Weblog.
Search’s the thing. Anyway, as the description block above says, occasionally I’ll post search-related things that aren’t all blah blah blah or white hat this and black hat that. Y’know, little things that I come across on a day-to-day basis that I thought were interesting.
p.s. And if you think you already know everything you need to know about SEO, take the SEO/SEM Exam and prove it. Good luck and see you on the leaderboard (or to be less subtle: I’m on the leaderboard. nyah nyah).
