Lots of coverage for you today, a total of 16 new blog posts since yesterday's recap posted over at the search blogs. I even wrote three generic blog posts today and two more last night, so that brings it up to 21 blog postings in the past 24 hours.

Let's start with Google, they released printable coupons to try to track the untraceable, offline marketing. Google also enabled AdSense for Search on site, yea, they can now be on your domain name and not off on Google's domain. Google takes a second look at the exchange rate privacy position, too funny. Google also found itself serving up checkout shopping cart icons on all AdWords ads. Because of that, they offered free WiFi to it's hometown. On the legal front, Google sent some weird warning to an advertiser for using an add to Google Reader button. Duh! And Google is in hot water again with Brazil over Orkut.

Also in the news, Yahoo!'s class settlement information was disclosed today. Yahoo! partnered with Go2, a mobile yellow pages company. Yahoo! also released a sweet API for their Answers product. MSN dude told spammers not to be too excessive. MSN seems to also be bugging out on some adCenter ads, but I am not 100% sure about that. Jen and John were quoted in USA Today.
