Speedlink V36/2011, FaceBook, CommentLuv Premium, SEO and Blogging

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great and productive week. So what’s new? Hmmm, aside from FaceBook’s new stuff, and some people already proclaiming the possibility of Google+ being dead, perhaps the most noteworthy buzz relates to a former Microsoft software engineer saying: “Bing is a madhouse. The inmates are running the asylum, and it’s rotten to the core…”. How about that? Makes us think if this is just a “competition” issue or real. Don’t know about you, but you know the saying – where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Anyway, and just to remind current and future CommentLuv users, that early next week will be the “early bird” special of CommentLuv premium. If you are unfamiliar, or for some reason have not heard about the plugin yet, perhaps you should consider finding the time to read 6 Reasons Why Your Blog Should Be CommentLuv Premium Enabled

Matt Cutts – Live Q&A September 21, 2011

This is a long video but there are some good stuff. At 2:43 they loose the camera feed, and maybe you want to jump to 5:55 where Matt talks about changes in their “reconsideration requests”. 11:20 is about Authorship Markup, 16:50 Matt mentions that he deactivated his FaceBook account, 21:23 mentions where did the name Panda came from, 30:40 is about whether you can chain 301 redirects, 31:45 using Ping to avoid content scrapper issues, and that’s pretty much it.

That’s it! Enjoy and have a great week ahead.
