This week, we explore the Google update from last week and if it was targeting e-commerce sites or not. We also gained access to the new alpha search impact report in Google Webmaster Tools. Google said there is no whitelist for the Penguin or Panda algorithms. Google said duplicate title tags or meta descriptions do not cause a search quality or Panda issue for you. Google’s new medical knowledge graph is out and it is vetted by Google doctors. Google says we may see more historical search query data in Webmaster Tools at the end of this year. Google Analytics has no data for February 9th and no one knows why. Google Webmaster Tools data stopped updating on February 7th. Google AdWords is updating their tracking URLs. That was this past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable.
