Exciting day, the Search Pulse was aired last night live and then was archived this morning, I have a link to the archive below. Microsoft added behavioral targeting features to adCenter, yea - it is crazy. But adCenter has some pretty big technical glitches that advertisers are almost fed up with. Google launched Mobile AdWords, mobile ads are here. Google also released a news archive search engine which search 200 years into history. I feel that the Yahoo! Directory is worth the money, and how you can get it for only $60. Andy Beal came out with a top ten on SEM firm mistakes. Adam Lasnik from Google told SEOs to save their money and not attend his seminar. Finally, we looked at community questions on how search engines treat accented characters.

Oh, you will notice that we are now posting the most recent comments posted at the Search Engine Roundtable in the entry below. Why? Well, because even though we post some great stuff, the response and comments on those articles are sometimes priceless and should be given more attention.

Dana Todd said;Hey, we survived! Not only that, we're doing really well and growing and thriving as an organization that is diverse and global! I was looking at the old 2004 poll on SEW Forums and they said we wouldn't last another year. We're proud to say that we'

Michael Martinez said;Slightly disappointing, but it makes sense. I would still like to see Google and the other major search engines offer classes to the general SEO community. That would go a long way toward dispelling some of the myths and nonsense that become popula
