A post on Google’s support forum points out to the fact that the Doodle is “so great” that it is actually interfering with Google’s search engine functionality.

The post says that it causes Google’s to “respond slowly to key strokes and of course to actual searches.”

We found it to be something that’s particularly noticeable when you use low-power devices like a laptop or a netbook and when accessing the web on the move.

Another commentator said that he had to disable the background image on his Google homepage to be able to see the doodle which defeats the purpose.

Altogether, Google’s new home page weighs in at a sizeable 316KB, of which more than half is down to a 188KB Javascript file.

That’s about three times bigger than last year’s big home page success, the Pacman game that appeared on Google’s homepage back in May 2010.

Two days ago, Google celebrated the birthday of British author Roger Hargreaves who was made famous thanks to its popular Mr. Men and Little Miss series.

In reaction, Bing have strongly denied Google’s claims, saying they use “multiple signals and approaches” to compile their search results list and refute any accusations of copying and have instead accused Google of “spy-novelesque stunts.”

However a Google employee has created an online blog explaining how the investigation was conducted. According to the blog, Google engineers input a hundred fake nonsensical search queries and also phoney results. Google claims that within a matter of weeks, Bing were indexing the search queries and false results.

Bing have hit back at Google’s accusations, saying the investigation’s findings do not prove Bing have cheated. Instead the accused search engine says Google’s findings show “we learn from customers who are willing to share data with us” which they argue is the same strategy Google employs while compiling their results.

Instead of showing Bing up as cheats, Google’s alleged evidence may only prove that Bing are capable of picking up on trends quickly by indexing results for the dummy queries as they noted an increase of searches for this topic.

Bing have batted aside Google’s cheating claim calling it a “creative tactic” by a competitor to dent their reputation.

Chitika, an independent analytics company, recently conducted research on clicks vs. positioning in search engines, and the results make interesting reading. Here’s a useful link: http://chitika.com/research/2010/the-value-of-google-result-positioning/

The difference between position 2 and 1 on average can result in DOUBLE search click through’s for a specfic search term. This could represent an increase (usually) of 50% in your traffic for that ONE keyword.  Of course, no one can guarantee number 1 positions, but ideally that is the spot to aim for.  A lot depends on your site –  fresh content, links and having the right company working for you (that is where we come in.)

Chikita also states with their analysis what we have always surmised, “The biggest jump, percentage-wise, is from the top of page 2 to the bottom of page 1.  Going from the 11^thspot to 10^th sees a 143% jump in traffic.” So being listed on page 1 has a massive impact.  In fact every position you rise higher has a higher click through rate once you are on page 1.

“As you go up the top page, the raw jumps get bigger and bigger, culminating in that desired top position.” – which is the type of activity and movement any business will want to see.

So, if you are page 1 – positioning will have an impact for you, and improvement through structured and professional search optimisation will have a direct impact on your business. Whether you are a service or ecommerce business, more traffic is essential, to not only survive but to thrive.

Remember, keyword research is critical. Getting the right terms is part of the initial analysis and a professional SEO company will run detailed research to enable you to make an informed decision about where you want to focus your efforts.

The report discovered that Virgin Media have been handing out the email addresses of previous customer to new Virgin Media and broadband customers.

Issues could arise in relation to customer privacy should the new owner of the email attempt to register on a website where the former owner of the email address had previously used as the site will inform the new Virgin Media customer that the email is already registered, and will forward password information to the email account.

This means there is the potential for new Virgin Media customers to gain access to former customers’ personal information, such as bank account details in a worst case scenario.

In their defence, Virgin Media say that all customers who leave the company are informed that they will lose their email, and that they should disable any automatic links from the email to other sites they are affiliated with. Furthermore, for three months after the customer leaves, Virgin Media retain the address to ensure all personal links are removed before the email is recycled to a new Virgin Media user.

However experts have warned that in extreme circumstances, there is the potential for companies to be in breach of the Data Protection Act as a result of the email recycling practice currently being employed by Virgin Media.

Technology, celebrities and disasters topped this year’s survey which gives a snapshot of what has caught our attention over the last 12 months. Google has examined millions of queries via its search engine during the past year to bring us the results.

In the category of fastest rising search term, Chatroulette came out on top. The website connects random people via video chat, with the catch being you never know who is going to pop up next. The social network service has come in for some criticism since its introduction because of the potential safety risks connected, however this has done little to dampen Chatroulette’s popularity, as Google’s survey reveals.

In second place in the fastest rising category was the Apple iPad which was launched to great fanfare earlier this year. While Google noted a surge of search queries in the lead up to the official launch of the iPad, the search engine reports that it continues to deal with a large number of searches for the device several months on from the launch. Google is also noting searches for the follow up to the Apple device, the iPad2, which is yet to receive a release date.

US pop sensation Justin Bieber came in at number one on the most searched terms for 2010 under the Entertainment category, and was ranked third on the fastest rising search term. The Haiti earthquake, Pakistan floods, and BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico all appeared in the most searched terms of the year according to Google.

While the list is mainly dominated by celebrity names, heading up the poll in the number one spot of subjects searched on Yahoo this year was the BP oil spill on the Gulf Coast.

Last year, Yahoo reported that the death of Michael Jackson was the most searched subject on their search engine knocking US pop star Britney Spears off the top spot after three years. In 2009 Britney dropped to 5^th on the Yahoo most searched chart, and dropped further this year to 10^th place.

Although Yahoo’s poll is a fairly good indicator of trends within the online world, Google is still the most used search engine in the world and boasts billions of users worldwide, therefore their chart, which is due for release later this month, is likely to better gauge the popularity of people and events who’ve dominated the past 12 months.

Microsoft’s search engine Bing recently revealed their list of popular searches of 2010 which named American reality TV star, Kim Kardashian as its number one, while AOL named Tiger Woods as their most searched subject of the year.

The bulk of subjects trending on this year’s Yahoo search engine results list were celebrity names including Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Megan Fox.

The study, which was reported by the BBC see following link http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-11637790 found that a staggering 25% of small to medium sized businesses in Wales have no web presence whatsoever, while just 58% have a high online presence. Given that recent figures suggest that the internet economy contributed £100 billion to UK economy last year, it’s feared that Wales could be missing a very crucial and expensive trick.

However help is at hand in the form of a newly developed web site rental company, Web Leasing Ltd based in Cardiff Bay, South Wales. The company is offering a service unlike any other web site design company which could be the answer to the prayers of businesses who are failing to get up to speed with the demands of online marketing.

Web Leasing does exactly what it says on the tin, they rent websites to businesses. With expertise in Search Engine Optimisation, link building, design and highly optimised content, Web Leasing is able to offer a one-stop shop for companies to obtain a professional and effective website to ensure their business enjoys a highly visible web presence.

Each website is created on a case by case basis and is tailored to the individual clients’ needs. Although the company head quarters are based in Cardiff, Web Leasing is a national company, targeting companies throughout the UK with a team of re-sellers based in their local areas who liaise with the businesses to ensure they receive a website which meets all of their requirements.

As the Google figures showed, companies which don’t have a presence on the web could potentially be missing out on a huge amount of business. As it’s not economically viable for small and medium sized businesses to employ a team of web experts to run their websites, Web Leasing offers companies the opportunity to have a professionally made and run website, without the financial burden.
