Google My Search History - New Feature

Straight from Google Labs come a search personalization feature that integrates straight into your regular Google experience.

It requires a free Google account, which you should have if you have a Gmail account, use the Google API, or have posted in Google Groups, or you can just create an account.

Once signed in, Google begins to track your search behavior via a cookie, and will help organize your past searches, very similar to what A9 has been offering.

New Adsense Features

Google Adsense has added new reporting features, including being able to view impressions based on total impressions or on a per page basis. This reduces "impression inflation" due to have multiple ads on a single page.

The most exciting addition is the addition of real-time channel stats - no more 2 day waits for channel results, now you can see the stats as events unfold.

Yahoo! Update

According to the Yahoo Search Blog, Yahoo is rolling out a new index tonight.

Is it just me, or do they alway update about a 10 days after a Google Update happens?

Tim Mayer swears its not an April Fools joke.

I don't see any big changes, I did notice that in one competitive niche, every one of the top ten sites had a Y directory listing... interesting.
