I was referring to the state of Google &amp; Co. in terms of their search engine algorithm ... and how you can address them.<BR/><BR/>From my observation the options available and the pressure that SEs put on the market are different. Take Universal or Base... they are still not here (at least in Germany) with the full impact that they have in the US. Now that means that if I am a company (let`s say Yellow Pages) and I am looking at my SEO strategy I should be aware that I need to address what is happening in the US if I want to address what`s coming.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to your assessment (even if I had a major delay) ;-)<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Jaron SchaechterJaron Schaechterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01235280712765386333noreply@blogger.com
