Google might have done another update on February 11th or so, might have been Panda. Google updated their webmaster guidelines telling us not to block Google ads. Google Webmaster Tools search query reports are being fixed. Google is showing a new answer for restaurant menus. Google had two technical SEO blog posts, one on faceted navigation and the other on infinite scroll. Google said bad grammar in comments won’t hurt your rankings. We spotted this interesting debug details about Google’s search results. Matt Cutts posts a video on what it is like to be a spam fighter.
