The era and war on social networking is in place and now Google trying to have it down by bringing in friends fromthis social network to their application called Friend Connect.

There are already users who was invited to take part and implement the said code snippets on their own sites.

Google Friend Connect lets you grow traffic by easily adding social features to your website. With just a few snippets of code, you get more people engaging more deeply with your site.Google Friend Connect integrates with contact lists for social networks like Facebook, orkut and Google Talk. This means users who join your site are instantly connected with friends who are already members, and can invite friends from other networks to visit. They can opt in to broadcasting their activities to friends in their social networks. A post to your message board, for example, can instantly be visible to people in multiple social networks, along with links leading to your site. These instant networks, combined with the wealth of OpenSocial gadgets, can form potent new online communities, very quickly and very easily.

It is all over the news about Microsoft dropping their bid to Yahoo for $42.3 Billion or $31 per share. Press release have be out for both big gunners about the dismantled deal.

On Yahoo News.

Microsoft Corp. withdrew its $42.3 billion bid to buy Yahoo Inc. on Saturday, scrapping an attempt to snap up the tarnished Internet icon in hopes of toppling online search and advertising leader Google Inc.

The decision to walk away from the deal came after last-ditch efforts to negotiate a mutually acceptable sale price proved unsuccessful.But Yahoo’s board demanded at least $53 billion, or $37 per share, according to Ballmer. That would have been nearly double Yahoo’s stock price of $19.18 at the time Microsoft first made its bid a little over three months ago

What do you think? I know someone who is happy with this turnaround! You know who? Google!!!!

If you will notice on the sidebar, I have removed google ads to replace other network serving ads. Slowly depleting those adsense ads on this blog. It is seems not worth anymore and cannot sustain what this blog is generating through adsense ads due to server fees and maintenance.

I am trying out some ad serving network and check how effective or calculating the difference in terms of revenue this blog can get without including adsense. Though I am still running adsense on other sites and still generating enough to sustain all of my sites, in the end it might migrate to others who can provide the sustainability of all my sites and not from my own benefit.

Te only drawback is the effort I am placing on all the sites, but that is not important now since I just enjoy having a site checking what people are searching and how can we improve it.

Google rolled out again its pagerank system to most of their data centers including the toolbar. This blog just got lowered from its previous PR of 4 to PR3. History comes when this was PR0 -> PR2->PR5->PR3-PR4-PR3. Been on the ups and down on this blog regarding PR. But not is not in question for me now. The question lies on how much traffic are you receiving even if you have this low PR.

But some of my internal pages have their PR ranked up. My PR 0 sites went up on the range of PR3 to PR5 and some with already have PR dropped by -1 including this blog.

So we need again links pointing to us to gain that search engine trust again on this search engine optimization blog. Oh no, not for PR, but we need traffic, so best case is to create content.
