All kinds of good stuff in Linky Goodness today!

• Jupiter Research reports that Blended Search Increases Your Visibility. But what I get from the numbers is that you’re more likely to click on results in blended search than “siloed” search—even if the siloed search is in the exact media you’re looking for.
• GoCompare was blacklisted from Google earlier this year. Hitwise takes a look at their recovery.
• The Wall Street Journal is constantly evolving—online. paidContent says their site is getting a major redesign that’s already begun in some sections. Meanwhile, some print journalists remain optimistic, though SEW thinks the numbers are skewed.
• Google AdSense for Domains runs on some typosquatting and cybersquatting domains, it’s true. And now a federal court has ruled that Google can be sued over these domains. Will the ruling stand up?

Linky Goodness (and Pilgrim’s Picks). Bringing you all the news that’s fit to print post, but . . . not really say a ton about.

• SMX Social Media Marketing is underway, but there are a few other resources you can turn to for help in your social media efforts: TechCrunch has Facebook’s “Insider’s Guide To Viral Marketing” and Daily Blog Tips has a link to “Breaking the Digg Code.” So get hopping!
• Yahoo updates their algorithms and the Delete URL feature.
• Movin’ and shakin’ in the print world: Tribune Co. looks like it’ll sell Newsday to News Corp and the New York Post (boo, hiss) gives a whole new meaning to “tabloid”*.
• Google Blogoscoped has a preview of the future of iGoogle: friends features, expandable views and more.

I know, it’s the eighth of January, and it’s the first time you’ve gotten fresh, Linky Goodness! I know you must all feel so much better now that we’re back.

• Lots of reports today on how it’s just not going to be the year of the Mobile (again). My favorite headline: Mobile Isn’t Very, Advertisers Seem Stuck In Terms Of Using New Ad Medium. Mobile isn’t very . . . what?
• My fault: we forgot to mention that Traffic Power’s CEO was arrested and jailed. Take that, unethicists. (You know you like my word; thanks to Matt Cutts for reminding us of this today.
• Will this year be the year you really ‘get’ social media? Maybe with Chris Winfield’s help: 10 Simple Steps To Social Media Success In 2008

It’s the first Linky Goodness of the last month of the year! And . . . everyone’s off at conferences, aren’t you. Perfect: for your quick reference, I present:

• Despite Senators’ misgivings, it looks like Google nears DoubleClick OK
• Donated to Wikipedia? Here’s where some of their charity drive money’s going to go: Wikipedia to Pay Illustrators
• And my favorite: the New York Times gets on Google’s case, saying that you might get ‘Unreliable’ News From Google (and others). And then he remembered that Google just carries the stories that they originally reported. . . . So remember, if it was written by a Times reporter, and you’re not on nytimes.com, it must be lies unreliable. They probably sneak in a few mistakes just to make Google look bad.

Linky linky goodness, readers, dear
Linky links will come to you all year
If I had one wish, then it would be
A post full of good links to you from me.

Oh, look, my wish came true!

• Do text ads still work online? Oh yeah. In fact, simple text ads are still the most clicked ad type online. Far less popular? Banner and video ads.
• More commercials are coming to online television. I love Ad Age’s opening here: Want more ads with your free web video? Not to worry; they’re coming.
• While the blue background still sets them apart, Google appears to be running unmarked search ads. :\
• More Google ad news: Google image search ads are displaying for some users.

You know the old Linky Goodness Litmus Test™—is it linky? Is it good? If so, find it below!

• Could APIs be the wave of the future—for newspapers? The New York Times is betting on it.
• The algorithmic, scalable growth of Google’s index improved by human editing. Sound appealing? Site605 hopes so—and they claim to be bigger than Mahalo already.
• And someone else made money off Facebook’s platform—by selling their app. An online home listings provider bought the “Neighborhoods for Facebook” app
• Ever wanted to see Google Street View Cars on Video? Now you can.

Okay, so today’s linky goodness is really just the news bites (bytes?) that I couldn’t say enough about to post on their own.

Oh, that’s kind of sad, isn’t it? Don’t worry, we still love you, little linky goodnesses.

• Maybe they’re just mad that New York filed first, but the New Jersey attorney general subpoenas Facebook over sex offender data
• Live Search touts its new Relevance, Relevance, Relevance! Is it too little, too late? (And is it even any better?)
• Apparently only 34% trust search engine advertising (PPC ads). My question is: trust them to do what? Not infect your computer with a virus or actually be relevant?
• Manoj Jasra compiled the Ultimate List of Video Optimization Resources
• Web 2.0 and mobile don’t mix
