Google is behaving very whacky lately. I’m getting Gmail news alerts on content that is months old, the index not updating as fast as it used to & Google is cool with blackhat techniques it would seem. Fairfax Blackhat SEO Fairfax & OMG responded last week to my vid on Fairfax Blackhat SEO. This week […]

Is News Ltd doing local iPhone apps?
