In this week's recap, I cover how top rankings in Google sends less traffic these days. I go over a possible new Google ranking algorithm tweak from two days ago. Maile Ohye is quotes on the May Day algorithm update. I gave a tip on how to increase your chances of your pages showing up in Rich Snippets. Also, I gave a tip on fixing your post counts in Google. GoogleBot is back to crawling, but are they now crawling too much - WordPress thinks so. A Google bug prevented me from clicking on the second search result. Google warned against using the noscript tag. Bing did a major UI update, adding more entrainment, medical and iPhone features. Google News continues getting spammed. Yahoo can't handle 404s anymore. Hitwise came out with search market share reports. It was not just Father's Day this Sunday, but Monday was the first day of Summer or Winter - we got the logos, themes and doodles from the search engines. That was this past week at the Search Engine Roundtable.
