Search Pulse 6: Tim Mayer on NOODP Tag, GooTube, Google News Porn, SEO, PageRank, Pinging, Code Search, SearchMash, Yahoo Panama UK, Mobile AdSense & More

The sixth edition of the Search Pulse has now been archived. Tim Mayer from Yahoo! was our special guest. Tim told us that we can expect support from Yahoo! on the NOODP tag, but it would be a lot more time for us to see support of a new META tag to opt out of using the Yahoo! Directory titles in the search results. Other topics included Google buying YouTube, Porn found on Google News home page, several SEO topics, Google's pinging service, code search, Yahoo's Panama release in the UK and much much more. The topics we covered are listed below, in order of priority (based on search community buzz). You can download the MP3 file here and listen at your convenience.

Big thank you for Tim Mayer coming on to talk about such a touchy topic on the air. Still, I and the community will push you to create a NOYahooDirectory tag of some sort.

The topic list is in order of how I wanted the conversation to go. I felt that these were the most talked about and discussed topics in the search community.

I wanted to again thank Ben and Chris for co-hosting the show with me. We will be live next week, with this weeks search news and debates on Tuesday 5pm (EST).
