Does the Search Algorithm vary considerably locally?
-
Hey,
i am from india and I just noticed that most of our searches are extremely different to those from the gooogle.com searches.
Not some searches. I mean entire layouts. For instance, there were no google places in the search results in India. There was hardly any integration with the G+ for a long time after it launched, even though a large population on G+ was Indian.
I got thinking on these lines. Any pointers?

Hi Rahul,
-
Google Places results normally comes in search when your search term has location name.
-
If the author has implemented author profile with website then only you will see Google author image in search results.
-
Its obvious you will see different result in Google.com and Google.co.in
May I know the search term you have searched and from which location ?

New visitors by search engines nowadays in USA and Germany
Hello, anyone have current data, how many new visitors in average drive nowadays search engines? My source of Peter Kent´s book SEO for Dummies from 2006, says around about 50% in the USA. I guess nowadays the percentage is much less, because of the social media? Have anyone data to split this in organic and paid search driven visits also? Do you know also how many new visitors in average drive nowadays social media like Facebook, Twitter & Co ? Thanks,

When did the New Google Algorithm Come into Force in the UK
On March 3rd, the hits on my UK site crashed to 40% of the previous number. I am guessing it may be down to the google algorithm change:- http://wisestartupblog.com/seo/google-algorithm-change-february-2011-losers-winners/5081 However, I am aware this happened on 25th Feb in the US. Do you know when it happened in the UK. Could it have suddenly started affecting me on March 3?
