Google In Another Frivolous Lawsuit Over Rankings
On Friday, Google will try to convince a judge to dismiss what I consider to be another frivolous a lawsuit that challenges their methods for indexing and ranking Web pages. KinderStart.com originally filed suit against Google in March alleging that it suffered crippling financial harm after its Web site got dropped from the search engine’s index. This is not the first lawsuit of its kind and pending the outcome of this one may not be the last either.

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
I will be heading out for vacation this Sunday for about 10 days. My destination - Hawaii! First time for me believe it or not. Actually it is my lovely wife who is dragging me off. Her idea of a vacation is relaxation while mine is riding roller coasters. This being Hawaii however I'm sure I am going to enjoy it. I need a break from the daily routine anyway and what better way to do it then a relaxing vacation on the little island. So I probably won't be posting anything next week but should be back the following week. In the meantime, I leave you with a few of my favorite things, that is blogs that I like to read.

Do You Want To Sell It or What?
I have been practically living on Craigslist and eBay for the last couple of days searching for a couple of vehicles for my son and daughter. This experience has lead me to ask the question over and over again, "Do people really want to sell this?". They either do not provide enough information or do not include a way to contact them. If you are able to contact them, they don't follow through. It all makes me evaluate my own company and how we display our services as well as how we respond to existing and prospective clients. Do you really want to sell your products and services. Then read on to discover what not to do.

Google Fends Off Frivolous Lawsuit Over Rankings
Google has fended off a lawsuit filed by a California man who claimed his Web site rankings precipitously and unfairly dropped. The plaintiff, Mark Roberts, who runs two protein drink sites (including MrProtein.com), sued Google for breach of contract. Huh? What contract? In other words, because Google would not consistently list his sites on the first page of their results, he decided to sue them over it.

Why Google May be Crawling Fewer Pages
Many webmasters have noticed that since the full implementation of the Big Daddy software update to the Google algorithm, that fewer and fewer of their pages have been finding their way into the index. What could be causing this? Is Google finally cleaning up the quality factor of their index, riding it of pages and even sites that don't meet new quality standards? Aaron Wall of SEOBook has written a lengthy and excellent article on the subject entitled, "The Google Crawling Sandbox."

U.S. Government Asks Internet Companies To Keep Records
In the U.S. Government's continual quest to battle terrorism and child pornography, they have recently asked Internet companies such as Microsoft, Google and AOL to preserve records of customers' Web activity. Brian Roehrkasse, a Justice Department spokesman, states that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller made the request last week at a meeting with industry executives. This latest move of course does not go unnoticed by privacy advocates who are complaining that the government may be intruding on the rights and privacy of law abiding citizens.
No More Froogle? Well Not Exactly
In an email sent to Froogle account holders, Google has made the announcement that Google Base, a new project thought to allow Google to compete with Craigslist and eBay, has swallowed up Froogle and that Froogle feeds will now have to be submitted through Google Base. Existing account and product information has already been transferred and is now viewable in Google Base. Along with Froogle, content should also be viewable on http://base.google.com.
