"Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.Search Engine Roundtable Stories:\n\t\t\tGoogle Says New Links In Webmaster Tools Are Correct &amp; Will Grow \n\t\tMonday we reported that the link reports in Google Webmaster Tools appeared to inflated. Many users started noticing huge increases (few noticed declines) in the number of links being displayed in the link report in Google Webmaster Tools. Most thought the spikes were unbelievable and had to be a bug. Some suspected it might have to do with the new Caffeine index launch. Well, Google finally replied telling us it is Caffeine related. JohnMu of \n\t\tBP's Google AdWords Ad Goes Against Display URL Guidelines \n\t\tThis is interesting, if you search for [oil spill] in Google, you should see an ad for BP. The display URL on that ad is www.BP.com/OilSpillClean but if you click on it, you are taken to YouTube.com and not BP.com. This clearly goes against Google AdWords display URL policy that reads: Your display URL must accurately reflect the landing page URL of the website you're advertising. It should match the domain of your landing page \n\t\tGoogle News Redesign Now Live : Do You Like It? \n\t\tGoogle has been testing a new design for a while now, those who see it and write about it, have been complaining. We posted early pictures of the design in February. But now, anyone who goes to http://news.google.com/ will see the design. The Google News blog explains why and shows before and after pictures, including a video. Danny also does an excellent analysis of the change. Here is the video: Here is a picture, of \n\t\tGoogle Confusing 301 Redirects? \n\t\tA WebmasterWorld thread has reports that Google is confusing 301 redirects as 302 redirects. This can be a serious issue, because 301s are the type of redirects SEOs and webmasters use to properly pass link juice and page factors from an old URL to a new. If Google considers these 301s as 302s, temporary redirects, it can cause pretty large issues with passing link value from one URL to another. At the same time, there \n\t\tHappy Canada Day From Google &amp; Bing \n\t\tWanted to wish our Canadian readers a very happy Canada Day! Google Canada and Bing (even US) have special logos or themes up for the day. Yahoo Canada does not. Here is the outstanding Google Canada Day logo: Here is Bing USA for Canada Day: Here is Bing Canada Today: Forum discussion at Google Blogoscoped Forums. \n\t\tBing Releases Advanced Query Guide: SEOs Take A Look \n\t\tBing has released a section explained their advanced search operators that can be used on Bing.com.

Sarah from Google told us in a Google AdWords Help thread that this label is now removed. She explained, \"recently revamped the old Google Advertising Professional Program and relaunched the Google AdWords Certification Program.\" Due to that change Google has \"removed the 'Google Advertising Professional' label from forum users until \t\n\n\nOther Great Search Forum Threads:\n\n\tFoursquare Raises B Round at $20Million, WebmasterWorld\n\thow to get one way links, WebmasterWorld\n\tInsights from Site Search in Google Analytics, Sphinn\n\tNew Keyword Gets Filtered?, WebmasterWorld\n\tAmazon Purchases Woot, WebmasterWorld\n\tAre The Best Seos Outside-the-box Thinkers?, HighRankings Forums\n\tDoodle East African Common Market, Google Blogoscoped Forum\n\tFuture Proofing Your SEO, Sphinn\n\tGoogle voice calls are getting a busy signal, calls used to be routed to a 360 and now it is a 602?, Google Mobile Help\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
