When Bing launched www.bing.com/social (Bing’s combined search of Facebook and Twitter updates) back in June, it forgot (I presume) to update its robots.txt file (which had previously, and still does, disallow results from the more limited forerunner – bing.com/twitter). As a result, 154,000 pages of its search results are in Google’s index.

The Sun decided last week to run a story about the rumours circulating about Steven Gerrard. I don’t know what Gerrard’s lawyers made of this story but they might want to have a word with Google.

<p>If you don’t nofollow affiliate links, your search engine rankings will suffer.<br />
Links in copy ARE worth more than other ones.<br />
Rel=canonical is suggested for cross-domain redirects – 301 isn’t mentioned.<br />
Google doesn’t seem to like guest blogging.<br />
Linking out both benefits you and doesn’t benefit you at the same time.</p>

<p>reedom of speech and the future of the internet are at stake. An Italian court has found some Google executives guilty after some students filmed themselves bullying a boy with Down’s syndrome [1] and then uploaded the clip to Google Video. The students were later convicted for their actions.</p>
<p>According to Tom Watson MP, the decision to hold Google liable for publishing the video:</p>
<p> “is the biggest threat to internet freedom we have seen in Europe. The only people who will support this decision are Silvio Berlusconi and the governments of China and Iran. It effectively breaks the internet in Italy.”</p>
