Google Testing New Universal Shopping/Product Results Displays

eCommerce Business

Google Universal Logo

While conducting some research last night I accidentally stumbled across what appears to be new Google Universal testing within organic search results. I noticed the new look and layout on several universal searches I queried such as seattle, wa (featuring both book and news universal results), 10,000 bc (featuring video universal results), ecommerce (featuring news universal results) and ball (featuring image universal results).

Froogle Remnants & Google Product Search/Directory Duplicate Content Issues

eCommerce Marketing

I have been researching some duplicate content topics lately for a friend/colleague of mine and while trying to find some examples for him I accidentally came across some interesting issues that Google is having on their own domain/subdomain with content being duplicated.

SEOmoz Training Seminar: I Had A Blast!

eCommerce Marketing

This past Monday I had the privilege to attend the first ever SEOmoz Training Seminar and Presentation by Rand Fishkin. A client, biz partner and friend of mine, Slingshot, flew in from Indiana on Sunday to attend the event with me. Personally I had a blast and loved the small attendee format, which gave everyone a chance to mingle with Rand, other Mozzers and each other without feeling like you had to “wait in line.”
