I sped through this week's recap, just in a rush, sorry. There was a new Panda rollout, this is version 3.4. Google penalized blog networks who were spamming them. Bing/Yahoo seemed to have a search update as well. Google wants you to buy more ads and proved it with a research study on organic results. Google says don't block your CSS & JavaScript files. Google added more controls to AdSense ad review center. Google is testing a new phone support pilot for AdSense publishers. Google launched consumer surveys system, which can be potentially cool. Google has retired the geo sitemaps feature. Google Maps now has traffic data again. Google Analytics has new social reports that show conversions. Google Webmaster Help's YouTube channel has over 7 million views. Someone called me a theft because I live blog. Google has a special Google logo for Mies van der Rohe. That was this past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable.
