A few more end-of-the-month links to round out your August!
- Lots of people use Google: but lots use more than one search engine. And they’re very loyal to it? Them? Huh?
- Google announced a message center in Webmaster Central just six weeks ago, but now they’re Emailing Penalized Webmasters Again
- Who’s afraid of Google? Economist.com, apparently.
- Here today, gone tomorrow, back again: Google AdSense Enables “Allowed Sites” Feature After Quick Roll Back
- Yahoo! PPC adds Enhanced Tools and New Options for improving your quality score and writing better ads.
- Google News Now Hosting Wire Stories & Promises Better Variety In Results. So now Economist.com can stop whining about Google News “culling” news sources’ stories. But I doubt this will actually make them happy…

“Lots of people use Google: but lots use more than one search engine”
“lots” is a bit vague. I suspect it’s a very small percentage compared to those that use just one (and just Google, at that!)

Well, if you’d bother to click through on the links, you’d see that:
“Google Search led with a retention rate of 79 percent, followed by Yahoo! Search at 69 percent and MSN/Windows Live Search with 65 percent. . .
“Notably though, a substantial portion of visitors went to more than one of these three search sites in July. MSN/Windows Live Search had the highest audience overlap, with 84 percent of its unique visitors also going to Google Search, Yahoo! Search, or both. Yahoo! Search had a 78 percent audience overlap with Google and/or MSN, while Google Search had a 63 percent audience overlap with one or both of its two primary competitors.”

Well, I stick to Yahoo for my actually searching, but check Google for my rankings of sites - go figure, huh?
Oh, and watch for the Pope announcing that Google is officially evil in the eyes of the Church.

The Economist article was interesting, especially the mention of a possible strategy for Google to become more transparent. I know a lot of us would like to see more transparency where Google is concerned.
