 It's not everyday that you see the big search engines agree on something. However SearchEngineWatch reports that
Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have all declared their backing for a standardised sitemaps protocol.
With the three main search engines behind this initiative it will be in the best interests of webmasters everywhere to take a close look at this development. This information will be presented at sitemaps.org and was originally based on a Google idea.

Following Google's purchase of Youtube it seems like we have finally ushered in the age of the online video. And with search still being the cheapest method of customer acquisition it seems Google is really trying to position itself as the media company of the future.
However, what with the enforced removal of several thousand copyrighted clips from Youtube, now might be the time for other online video services to take advantage.

Rand Fiskin has created an excellent study of 25 websites, comparing the relative accuracy of external metrics sites (such as Alexa and Technorati) against the actual data provided by analytics programs.
The conclusion that was reached is that these sites provide very little accuracy when compared to actual visitor numbers. However this study gives hard facts with which to back up conclusions that were, for the most part, previously based on anecdotal evidence.
Thanks to Andy Beal over at Marketing Pilgrim for pointing it out.

It has been a while since I broached the subject, so the latest search share rankings press release from Nielsen//NetRatings has provided me with a perfect excuse to take a look at the current state of the search engines.
According to the release, Google is the runaway leader at the moment with 50% of all searches (some 2.8 billion) conducted through them during September. The next most used is Yahoo with 23% of the searches, with MSN, Aol, Ask and My Way all lagging some way behind.
{Added} The comscore search activity analysis for September states Google leads the way on 45%.

I felt I had to make a note of this article purely for the the great tagline. It conveys a simple but important message in a clever and arresting manner.
At any rate, if the argument of content over links interests you, head this way to read "If you market they will come, If you have content they will stay."

Apologies for the break. To make up for it, here is your usual monthly round up of search engine news from December courtesy of Red5.
It includes a look at Espotting, Google, FAST and Looksmart, which despite everything is refusing to leave the party...
