Forget About the Meta Keywords Tag

October 7, 2009 by Thord Daniel Hedengren

Search Engine Land reports that Yahoo have stopped supporting the meta keywords tag. It seems they did that months ago, which means that neither Google nor Yahoo or Bing supports it. Sounds good, let’s focus on the actual content in our search results instead…

44 Days Until Yahoo360 Closes Shop

May 31, 2009 by Andrew G.R.

It’s an unfortunate reality that some children never make it to adulthood. In the same vein, some Websites never graduate from beta.

Finally succumbing to the Web Grim Reaper is Yahoo 360. Now if you’re sitting comfortably in the U.S. or Europe, there’s a good chance this news is irrelevant to you. After all, the primary reason Y360 is being shut down is due to lack of use. However, if you reside in Vietnam, where, believe it or not, Yahoo 360 is the #1 blog platform, the news might cut like a knife. (Though it should be no surprise; support ceased back in ’07.)

Yahoo Treats Automattic To The blo.gs Domain

April 21, 2009 by Thord Daniel Hedengren

Matt Mullenweg has announced that Automattic will be giving blo.gs, a ping service of yore, a refresh:

Online Giants’ Ad Growth Halts

November 17, 2008 by Thord Daniel Hedengren

TechCrunch mashed together the online advertising revenues of the big 4, being Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and AOL, for the third quarter. The result? Just 0.6% growth, which is still some $50 million increase, but pale in comparison. Read Erick Schonfeld’s post for graphs and more. Also, don’t miss the blog networks roundtable for some more bloggish thoughts on the current financial situation.
