I am offline again this Thursday and Friday, so the stories and this video were created earlier and scheduled to be live today - plus if Penguin launched, I won’t know about it until Saturday night and will write about it Monday. Now into the search news… Google Panda 4.1 may be still rolling out or maybe it was another refresh. Google is also showing non-mobile friendly icons in the mobile search results and tested text version of mobile-friendly icons. Google updated their change of address tool to enable easier walk through of the process. Moz released their local search ranking factors again. Google My Business is now showing data differences to business owners. Google In The News box is upsetting Google News publishers. The Wall Street Journal is upset that the FTC is not forcing Google and others are not making the search ads as clear, virtually tricking users. Google AdSense announced the new ad format this week. Google Voice Search report shows people use voice search. That was this past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable.
