How does Google do at SEO for google.com? Google does: it is one of the most linked domains on the web (during 2008). Interesting facts: Google doesn't have any team members that works on SEO things ;-) And Google optimizes for the user experience. Funny thing is that In the SEO report CArd: 1) search result presentation 2) URLs and redirects 3)On-page optimizations Many google products missed basics ;) Like no right meta tags, LOTS of duplicate content , like all working examples of Google books without redirects. Title tags - without real simple product name. One great rule you must know - product logo, should link to the RIGHT page. Most of the google pages doesn't have it either. BAD example - Google mobile adds logo, linked to the 404 error page :) Here is a video straight from Google to you:

Many years we talked about Google plans to release their own OS, this time this is real. Google OS will be all about the web. All apps are web apps.

In the fastest growing mobile market, Google will help local people to get news and trade. "At Google we seek to serve a broad base of people — not only those who can afford to access the Internet from the convenience of their workplace or with a computer at home. It's important to reach users wherever they are, with the information they need, in areas with the greatest information poverty. In many places around the world, people look to their phones, rather than their computers, to find information they need in their daily lives."

Latest Google communication move - " Google voice ", which is built on Grandcentral platform aquired by Google earlier. Once again - this will shake up the telecommunications industry somehow. The new application improves the way you use your phone. You can get transcripts of your voicemail (see the video below) and archive and search all of the SMS text messages you send and receive. You can also use the service to make low-priced international calls and easily access Goog-411 directory assistance.
