Biasanya, sitelink dari web2 yang dianggap populer oleh google akan berderet sekitar 4 link atau lebih. Dan biasanya sitelink ini akan terdiri dari 2 kolom. Tadi tumben saya coba search keyword Seminyak Villas di google terus ngeliat hasil search yang berbeda.

Coba deh perhatikan tanda panah di gambar berikut :

Maklum katrok, jadi perubahan ini terjadi sejak kapan saya kurang tahu.
BTW, tar lagi mau main2 ke g-land, ama bos balikami yang katanya dah siap2 berangkat ke g-land

Since yesterday my sitemap status in Google Webmaster Tools are in “pending status”. First, I think it’s a problem with my sitemap. Then I try to resubmit them. But, today nothing happen. It still in pending status.

Curious, I try to googling, and found so many webmaster suffering.

John Mueller from Switzerland — Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google Zurich known as Jhonmu in Google Groups has confirm about this issue in Google Group thread.

Hi everyone!

This is currently a known issue, the team here is working on resolving it as quickly as possible. Generally speaking, it’s normal for some sites to take a while before the “pending” status disappears. At the moment however, it looks like this is taking a bit longer than usual.

If the “pending” status for your site has been showing for a while now, I wouldn’t worry too much about it for now. It’s not something on your site, or anything that you need to resolve on your end.
I’ll update this thread once it gets resolved. Thanks for your patience!

John

Here another thread about this issue.

I hope this conditions not for long, ’cause I’m in the middle of Busby SEO Contest, and hope this will not make my positions drop.

Danny Sullivan at searchengineland has been make a review about U Rank, new service by Microsoft.

Google Suggest will be “graduating” from Labs and available by default on the Google.com homepage. Over the next week, we’ll be rolling this out so that more and more of you will start seeing a list of query suggestions when you start typing into the search box.

This feature will reduce your time to get the best results by Google Suggestion with the best keywords and phrases. Google Suggest features include : Help formulate queries, Reduce spelling errors, and Saves keystrokes.

This is similar to Google’s “Did you mean?” feature that offers alternative spellings for your query after you search, except that it works in real time.

This is an example about finding a long tail keyword with google suggest :

I try to find Busby SEO Challenge in that search form. But before I finish in typing the keyphrase as you can see in my screenshot above, Google suggesting a list of recent search (if I’m not mistaken). I think this a part of Google Suggest Save Keystroke features.

I see Busby SEO Contest, Busby SEO, Busby SEO Challenges, and Busby SEO Challenge devianart on their suggestions. I think Google will only show relatively popular keywords based on what you type and recent search. Because Google give a list of suggestion, I think we can target our next post or blog or site based on what google suggest. And I think people who use Google when they seeing this suggestion they will choose that suggestion.

seroundtable.com has wrote about Google Suggest to Change the Ways of Search Engine Optimization, or join discussions on Sphinn : 9 Ideas How Google Suggest Could Change Search Marketing, and Google Suggest Will Greatly Change Keyword Referrers.

I tried to compare this new feature of Google with Yahoo Search Assist. Again, I type Busby SEO, and they give me suggestions just like what you see in the screenshoot below.

You can see the top 100 searching by people to see the popular search. And get supplementary specific sites that will provide more details to your search.
By include all basic information in your search, you will be able to get the most accurate and complete results for your search.

So What is Busby ?

I found explanation about this on wikipedia.

Busby is the English name for the Hungarian prémes csákó or kucsma, a military head-dress made of fur, worn by Hungarian hussars. In its original Hungarian form the busby was a cylindrical fur cap, having a bag of colored cloth hanging from the top. The end of this bag was attached to the right shoulder as a defense against sabre cuts.

In Great Britain busbies are of two kinds: (a) The rifle busby, a folding cap of astrachan (curly lambswool) formerly worn by rifle regiments, in shape somewhat resembling a Glengarry but taller. (b) the hussar busby, cylindrical in shape, with a bag; this is worn by hussars and the Royal Horse Artillery; Both have straight plumes in the front of the headdress.

Possibly the name’s original sense of a ‘busby wig’ came from association with Dr Richard Busby, headmaster of Westminster School in the late 1600s; it is also derived from buzz, in the phrase ~ buzz wig.

Busby also a suburb in south-western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Located 37 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Liverpool. Neighbouring suburbs include Miller, Heckenberg, Hinchinbrook, Green Valley and Bonnyrigg.
