Sensis has now launched
a search toolbar & other enhancements;
The Sensis toolbar sits on your desktop and if you want to
search online for a specific product or service, you can do
this through the tool-bar.
White pages content has been integrated into the search
results and location search worked upon. However when I searched
for 'search engine optimisation' newtown or newtown nsw or
sydney my site did not come up :(
Check it out at www.sensis.com.au.

Mobile Content Market To
Hit $1 Billion By 2008 A
new IDC study says that graphical content has emerged as the
fastest-growing sector of the wireless market in 2004. Smaller
than ring tones and games in terms of revenue, the market
for commercial graphical content, which includes wallpaper,
caller ID graphics, screensavers, and special use graphics,
is poised to grow from $150 million this year to over $1.1
billion by 2008, according to the IDC study.
Observers have noted shifts
in Yahoo’s search results pages for competitive keywords.
Yahoo has been serving up basically two sets of search results.
Yahoo has been testing out a new algorithm that assigns more
weight to those pages that have been listed in the Yahoo Directory.
Reasoning for this could be that Yahoo’s only competitive
advantage is its directory.
Members at Search Engine Watch Forums were noticing different
results based on the case sensitivity of the keyword phrase.
Tim Mayer, directory of Yahoo product management search technology,
answered this anomaly by saying “that the document was
not being returned in one cluster and it was being returned
in another” but it absolutely had nothing to do with
case sensitivity.
Interesting to note these two threads with Tim’s response
- might be some correlation.
