    Default NEW - Google changes search equations

    hey guys,

    Seems to be big news on the design and SEO forums...

    Just thought I'd give you a heads up

    EDIT: Story from the Guardian... http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/pda/...oogle-plus-one
    It appears to be only in the USA for the moment.. but who knows!!

    Apparently mid-project they changed it from "Like" to "+1" as it was confusing to Geordies, like

    I watched a google tech video on youtube the other day. They will soon be lowering the priority given to keyworded domains. ie. WeddingDiscoEdinburgh. They recommended using a "brandable" name instead. I will be interested to see how this changes Mark Wild's Edinburgh website. He has got to the top of Google very quickly with a keyworded domain name.
