It’s the first linky goodness of a new month. Hurray!
- More not-so-good news for Yahoo: the DOJ will reviewing the Yahoo-Google ad deal and plans to consult Y&G’s rivals. Yet another reason for MSFT to celebrate today, I guess.
- Webmaster Central Blog gives a little checklist of things to do before and during a reconsideration request using Google Webmaster Tools, complete with video.
- Has someone at Google misspoken? In a Google Groups thread, Googler JohnMu said that blocking countries, regions or continents from your website is against Google’s cloaking policies. I always assumed that you had to show visitors something for it to be considered cloaking. . . . Michael Martinez takes Google’s logic to task here, too.
- Research indicates that personalization in marketing can often make us actively dislike the message’s sender (cough, Amazon, cough, QUIT EMAILING ME). Said one researcher, “People bristle at personalization just for the sake of personalization.” Now, does this count for Google’s SERPs?

Good to see that Google are (on the face of it) trying to help sites with re-inclusion requests. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has gone through the process and succeeded.

Yahoo just can’t seem to get momentum going on anything new at present. Got to feel sorry for them, and the internet community as a whole, because we really need alternatives to Google.

It’s hard to say for sure. Maybe MS will get something from it.

Jordan, regarding “blocking countries, regions or continents from your website is against Google’s cloaking policies.” That’s just IP-delivery which Google does. They can kiss it.

I agree with the statement that personalization just for the sake of personalization makes ME dislike the advertiser more. Why? Because I think that the advertiser is insulting my intelligence by using it! Like THEY think that I’m going to think they actually care about me as a person so I’m going to buy from them just because they got their printer to personalize it with my name? Gimme a break! I’m smarter than I look (I hope!)
