In closing out April and moving into May, we had a fairly slow week of search forum news. We discussed how Google leaked AdWords ranking scores, a Google PageRank update and a Sitelink update. We also saw how GoogleBot is crawling less, overall. Court ruled that META keywords are immaterial. Google launched TV ads to every US advertiser. Finally, we chatted about the search controversy between SES and SMX. Congrats to the winner of the Yahoo schwag and good luck winning the eVisibility schwag!
