Google is now the most well known, and popular, search engines in the world. In 12 years, it’s managed to go from obscurity to being a verb for searching the net.
The new image search interface was launched last year along with Google Voice Search for Android, and was very well received. It gave people the option to search for a topic based on a picture they had, whether to find a better quality version of the image, finding source of the picture or just looking up some information related to it.
Google’s Venice update in February of year this brought with it over forty changes to its search and indexing parameters.
Last week Google announced the 10 latest changes to their algorithm.
After numerous complaints about the removal of the “+” search operator from Google, the search engine has responded by giving the option for verbatim searches.
Site links have been around for a long time now. Since 2006 in fact. You’ve probably noticed them, used them, and forgotten about them without ever knowing what they were called. And now they’ve been updated by Google.
In an early morning (our time) post in Google+, Matt Cutts has announced that Google has discovered that some users computers appear to be infected by a type of malware (malicious software) that uses their computers to send traffic to Google through a series of proxies.

We mentioned in an earlier article that we’ve been doing some research into the way that Google Localisation is affecting search engine results, and we’ve started to wonder if Google has forgotten that it’s a search engine.
Technically, we all know that Google makes mistakes sometimes. It’s pretty much an extremely complicated piece of software, that they make changes to every day. (In the last year, Google made over 550 changes to their search algorithm.) So it’s not surprising that it breaks sometimes. In fact, we should be impressed that it works so well.
In a move which some claim is an attempt to catch up with Microsoft’s Bing search engine, Google has just rolled out testing on their new feature, Google Instant Preview.
Since the beginning of this year, Google has been gradually including synonyms for the words that users are searching for in its results. It hasn’t necessarily been a dramatic change on the face of things, nor does it mean that Google always displays synonymous results. But there could be SEO implications to their use of synonyms in search results as well.
Yesterday Google announced their latest feature, the Google Place Search. Place Search allows Google users to easily find information about local businesses, by clustering search results around a specific area.
In its never ending quest for the most intuitive search technology possible, Google has just released the latest tweak to its user interface: Google Instant. According to Google, it’s a new search enhancement, that lets you see results (for what Google thinks you’re searching for) as you type.
If you’re a regular Google user, you might have been served up a different version of the Google search page recently. Google has been tweaking its user interface, to make it easier for people to find the information they’re looking for, and testing it with random appearances.
In the past, search engine giant Google has been very careful about not tampering with the look of their clean, simple and functional search page. Last week though, in a move that had many rubbing their eyes and fiddling with the text size options on their browser, Google changed something.
If anybody ever tells you that they can guarantee you a first place result on Google, then it’s time to tread very warily. Net Age has been in the business of search engine optimisation for more than ten years, and we won’t guarantee any such thing.
Google Trends is a public web tool released by Google, that provides a graphic representation of how frequently any given term is searched for, according to date, region and language.
Few names stand out as much, in the field of website analytics, as that of Avinash Kaushik, co-founder of Market Motive, author of Web Analytics: An Hour A Day, and Google’s official Analytics Evangelist.
The relatively recent launch of Microsoft’s new search engine Bing has also launched a new online debate. Which search engine is better?
