Google and Bing SEO, Digg Reader, Pinterest Analytics, Speedlink 11:2013

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great week. Not sure which news topped this week, but I going for Matt Cutts saying a lot of interesting (or scary) things on SXSW this week. Big SEO changes are coming and that goes for overly optimized sites, bad merchants, hunting down link networks, Panda update (done apparently yesterday), huge Penguin this year and, oh heck, basically sweeping out all the bad stuff out there that cheats and/or manipulates rankings. And that’s not just Matt talking… Know a bit more of what’s coming here.

Listen to the interview of Matt Cutts and Duane Forrester by Danny Sullivan on SXSW (recommended if you are into SEO).

As of this writing, there are 106 days left before launch. Click here if you want to help or just get notified when it launches.

Finally, in case you missed it, Pinterest has officially released their own Pinterest Web Analytics. For as long as your site is verified, you can now see a bit more of information about your pins. Find out how to set up your Pinterest analytics here.

As usual, in no particular order:
