One of the most interesting stories this week is Yahoo! Search Marketing’s attempts at explaining their new pay per click advertising strategy. You can find the links below.
In short: YSM is actively tweaking the pay per click campaigns of their customers without asking them for permission. Yepp, that is right: They are adding new keyword phrases and new ads for their customers.
This is a PR disaster, and that at a time where confidence in Yahoo! is at an all time low.
Instead of doing all they can to turn Yahoo! Search Marketing into a product that can compete with Google Adwords, they are luring customers into paying for ads they haven’t asked for.
New CEO Carol Bartz has to stop this before the Yahoo Search Marketing team does irreparable damage to the brand.

It is still difficult for search engines to exactly pinpoint your identity as a user, but by using various techniques they can learn a lot about you. Should you be worried about your privacy? Ixquick thinks so, and is no longer recording your IP address.
Using IP addresses (the code that identifies your Internet connection) and cookies (small files that are saved on your computer) the search engines can at least partly determine that you are the same person that visited them yesterday.
That is: Unless you tell them they won’t know your name name, and given that most Internet Service Providers will give you a new IP address every time you log in, they cannot say exactly where you live.
Still, they know enough about your location and search and surfing habits to build a profile of your interests, and that profile can — for instance — be used to [...]

If you spend a minute or two following Twitter’s public timeline, you’ll quickly discover that a large percentage of what people twitter about is of little interest to anyone but them selves and their closest friends. But you’ll also find tasty morsels of up-to-date information directly from authoritative sources, e.g. someone reporting “live” from a conference or a disaster area. How do you mine the hive mind and find gold?
One way is to search Twitter by authority. Twitter authority search is a relatively new phenomenon. Two search engines showed up around Christmas time. But what do they do and how do they work?

Twitter authority defined
There are at present two search engines that search Twitter by authority, Twitority and Twithority. Neither disclose how the search results are ranked or how they attribute authority to a twitter post or a “twitterer”.
Evidently, it all started with a blog post from web entrepreneur [...]

Flickr is an image sharing social network with billions of photos. A lot of these photos can be used for free and many are of high quality. But how do you find out which Flickr photos are free and how do you sort out the best one?

Monitor the job market using RSS Feeds. Using RSS Feeds To Locate Jobs!
In addition to actually seeking a job, there are also other valid reasons to monitor the job market. Perhaps you are satisfied in your current position, but just want to keep an eye on new positions in a specific sector. Perhaps you are just curious to know what the wages are for similar positions. The job market can be monitored quite easily using RSS feeds. You can subscribe to RSS feeds in order to find specific company job openings, employment available within a specific region (i.e. by using a postal or zipcode), specific positions available, or to locate all jobs within a specific wage range.

One of our reader’s sent us a few suggestions for our Pandia Powersearch page, which prompted us to go through the whole list of search engines, directories and other search and navigation services.
Pandia Powersearch is, as some of you may now, a all-in-one resource page giving you access to a lot of useful search tools in one place.
It is probably one of the oldest surviving services of its kind, given that Pandia started out as a one page collection of search tools 10 years ago.
Anyway, we have added quite a few new search tools, as well as new categories:

Ask services

Answer search

Microblog search

Social news

Bookmark based search

The latest trend is, as some of you may notice, search tools based on the social web.
Note that listings marked as NEW! are new to the page, not necessarily new to the world.
And yes, if you find your favorite site missing, do let us know, [...]

The CEO of Microsoft’s enterprise search company Fast Search and Transfer is forced to leave the company due to shady accounting practices.
The Norwegian search engine industry rarely gets boring. In a country that prides itself on its lack of corruption and shady deals, Fast Search and Transfer has managed to give the ICT industry a scandal of international proportions.
It so happens that Fast Search and Transfer was bought by Microsoft one year ago. At that time The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Kreditttilsynet) already had started looking into allegations of Fast having misinformed the market about its earnings.
In October last year Fast was raided by the police (Økokrim — the Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime), and even though Kredittilsynet has closed its case on insider trading, the police has not stopped its investigation of “aggressive” bookkeeping.
