Google's surgical strike against content farms: Two weeks after launching its site-blocking Chrome extension, Google made the central move in its fight against content farms by changing its algorithm to de-emphasize them in search results. The New York Times put the change in context, explaining the content farm phenomenon and its connection to Google. Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan explained that Google is saying the changes only affect "scrapers" (sites that pull content from other sources), but that they're actually aimed at content farms, too. Glucophage trusted pharmacy reviews, And GigaOM's Mathew Ingram talked about why Google may be reluctant to publicly target content farms — because they run a lot of Google advertising.

A few early returns were good: TechCrunch approved of the change, and The Atlantic's Alexis Madrigal ran a test search comparing the old and new algorithms, finding that the information from the new one was "much, much better." Demand Media, the most prominent of the content farms, said it wasn't affected overall by the new formula, canada, mexico, india, though, as Henry Blodget of Business Insider noted, it's probably trying to wean itself off of Google reliance anyway.

In fact, it appears Demand Media may be telling the truth: Aaron Hall of SEO Book used Sistrix's data to point out that many of Demand Media's competitors were among the sites hardest hit by the change, while one of Demand's largest brands, eHow, actually got a boost. Hall implies that politics have played a role, and while there's nothing concrete suggesting that, the way the changes spared eHow does seem .., Glucophage No Rx. odd.

There's also bound to be plenty of collateral damage from the algorithmic shift, Glucophage recreational, and Wired looked at one Mac blog that's been nailed by the new formula (its Googlejuice was restored after Wired talked to Google about it). Danny Sullivan reported that Google hasn't made any significant changes to its new algorithm since rolling it out last week, though there are outlets to contact Google if you feel your site has been unfairly hurt.

Elsewhere in the conversation about search, The Columbia Journalism Review's Karen Stabiner gave an overview of the debate about search engine optimization: The anti-SEO crowd, led by the Washington Post's Gene Weingarten, worries that the SEO mindset will privilege the powerful and eventually kill off creativity in favor of numbingly literal language, taking Glucophage. Glucophage No Rx, The SEO evangelists, on the other hand, say it's just encouraging honesty and straightforwardness, something it's difficult to object to.

Facebook extends comments' reach: Facebook continued its integration with media content across the web this week with the launch of an updated comments system. Essentially, users can simultaneously post their comments on both a site and on Facebook, with subsequent comments under that thread posted to the site straight from Facebook. PBS MediaShift's Mark Glaser talked to Facebook's Justin Osofsky about the ins and outs of the new system, Online Glucophage without a prescription, and ReadWriteWeb noted that it has fewer features than the commenting update Facebook previewed last fall.

TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld identified the two aspects of the updated system that will be most attractive to publishers. First, it requires commenters to use their real names, thus theoretically cutting down on trolls and spammers (this part, of course, has been available to publishers through Facebook commenting for a while), Glucophage No Rx. Second — and this is the new one — it extends the reach of a post, spreading into more Facebook news feeds and making it easier for more people to join in the conversation. This particularly excited Lehigh j-prof Jeremy Littau, who said it could create "a virtuous circle between community and content sharing."

There are downsides as well, and while media analyst Alan Mutter was optimistic about the social potential of the new system, he also pointed out that it will give Facebook even more information about its users, Glucophage pictures, which it won't be sharing with publishers. As GigaOM's Mathew Ingram noted, it's the same tradeoff publishers have been dealing with regarding Facebook for several years now: Does the value of tapping into Facebook's social potential outweigh the price of handing over commenting to a notoriously controlling company?

TBD's lessons — more startup, less ad reliance: TBD in its original form may have died last week, but the six-month-old Washington local news site continued to stimulate conversation this week. Where to buy Glucophage, Its station posted an ad for a new manager to head the site, and TBD's former manager, Jim Brady, talked with The Columbia Journalism Review about the site's model, framing the conflict there as not TV vs. web, but startup vs, Glucophage maximum dosage. legacy:  Glucophage No Rx, "I think if we could do TBD with a pure startup mentality, and if we could fund it more with a V.C. or an angel kind of way, and if we didn’t have the legacy side to work with, then I think it would actually have a better chance to succeed."

Others posited similar reasons for TBD's demise: Web journalist Jane Stevens talked about a few causes centered on a lack of corporate commitment, and The Guardian's Emily Bell pinpointed TBD's inability to have its own ad sales team (an explanation with which Brady concurred). The debate over hyperlocal journalism, What is Glucophage,  stirred by Alan Mutter last week, continued to simmer, with Robert Washburn of The Canadian Journalism Project defending it and Paul Gillin of Newspaper Death Watch saying we need to look at non-advertising-based business models for it, a point media consultant Dan Conover also made in more in-depth form at Xark.

Amid all the analyses of what went wrong at TBD, Mandy Jenkins, the social media manager there, buy Glucophage no prescription, took stock of what went right, noting four things other news orgs can take away from its tenure: organizational openness, self-promotion, opening info beyond the newsroom, and hiring for mindset over pedigree.

iPad, part deux: Apple made a few headlines by launching iPad 2, which is apparently kind of like the iPad, only it's the second edition. I'll entrust you to the care of Techmeme for all the details about the product itself and focus instead on what it means for publishers and the larger world of media, Glucophage No Rx. The Lab's Joshua Benton pointed out two implications in particular — the mounting evidence of an e-book explosion and the iPad's increasing usefulness for reporting.

Damon Kiesow of Poynter examined the latter point in some detail, looking at the iPad 2's specs from a content creation perspective, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal. And Cory Bergman of Lost Remote looked at the device's increased video capability and predicted that it would help fuel a surge in multi-platform video consumption and production.

Elsewhere in mobile media, tech blogger John Gruber defended Apple's app subscription program by breaking down the arguments against it one by one. Glucophage No Rx, And in a smart counter to Gruber, the Lab's Joshua Benton said that while Apple obviously isn't a charity and the financial difficulties of publishers aren't its problem, the arrangement still isn't ideal. Both posts are among the sharpest takes on the issue I've read, so they're worth taking time to read through. Buy Glucophage from mexico, —

Reading roundup: What to read this weekend while firming up South by Southwest plans:

— In non-commenting Facebook news, Mashable's Vadim Lavrusik put together a great overview of the varied role of Facebook in journalism. And in non-Facebook commenting news, Los Angeles Times media reporter James Rainey made the case for requiring commenters to use their real names, while Mediaite's Alex Alvarez defended anonymous commenting, Glucophage from canadian pharmacy.

— Here at the Lab, Lois Beckett wrote two fascinating posts based on a talk by The New York Times' Gerry Marzorati — one on the future of long-form journalism, and the other on the Times' planned paywall. Two other thought-provoking pieces published here this week: One by Joshua Benton on language and viral content, and another by three data journalists on news organizations creating value out of the trust placed in them, Glucophage No Rx.

— Amy Gahran wrote three awesome primers on mobile media — one on mobile apps, another on the current mobile landscape, Online buying Glucophage hcl,   and one on mobile media and PR.

— Knight fellow Jeremy Adam Smith shared results from a survey on how meaningful journalism is being funded. It's a gold mine of statistics and information about the state of the journalism ecosystem.

— It's a pretty well-worn discussion, but Frederic Filloux's analysis of why incremental change isn't enough to rescue the newspaper industry is as succinct a summary of the current situation as I've seen. Even if you've heard it all, his piece is a good refresher.

An uneasy move into the world of web metrics: As CUNY j-prof C.W. Anderson declared on Twitter, this was "obviously the week of news metrics," so it's probably best to start there. Australia, uk, us, usa, The discussion was kicked off Monday by a New York Times feature on traditional news organizations beginning to pay more attention to their online traffic numbers — something most other websites have been doing religiously for years, but a relative novelty for traditionally one-way institutions such as the Times and The Washington Post. The Times' Jeremy Peters painted a picture of the Post's newsroom that didn't look all that different from Gawker Media in this respect: Traffic data gets displayed on a screen in the newsroom, emailed daily to staff members, and has played a role in staff-cutting decisions.

Still, editors at America's most prominent newspapers (the Times, the Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Los Angeles Times were the four examined) were careful to note (somewhat dubiously) that they don't let that traffic dictate what they write about, Tramadol For Sale. The Post's media critic, Howard Kurtz, herbal Tramadol, weighed in on the phenomenon with some concern, pondering the balance between pushing for traffic and protecting a storied brand like the Post's or the Times'. "They can't simply abandon serious news in favor of the latest wardrobe malfunction without alienating some of their longtime readers," he said of the two papers. "What they gain in short-term hits would cost them in long-term reputation."

Naturally, Ordering Tramadol online, Gawker tweaked Kurtz for his paternal unease about the issue, mocking the idea that knowing and adjusting for what readers care about represents a threat to journalism. Econsultancy's Patricio Robles remarked that the Times didn't find any evidence of major news organizations being corrupted by the use of their traffic numbers and wondered why newspapers don't go further, like testing multiple versions of the same story. Tramadol For Sale, Meanwhile, Columbia researchers released a study that found that news organizations use metrics that vary widely in their measurements of online traffic, leading to confused editors and hesitant advertisers. The Columbia Journalism Review adapted the study into an article by Lucas Graves on the web's too-much-information problem and its effect on news organizations: "The Web has been hailed as the most measurable medium ever, and it lives up to the hype. The mistake was to assume that everyone measuring everything would produce clarity." On the other hand, online buy Tramadol without a prescription, Graves said, news decisions have been made easier in other media (like, say, TV) where metrics were not necessarily more accurate, but more unanimous.

Google Instant's impact on search: This week, Google unveiled another tool that might eventually have a significant effect on that web traffic: Google Instant, a change to its web search function (though it's coming to browsers soon) that allows users to see results for predicted searches as they type. Essentially, it takes Google's autocomplete feature and shows the results of those possible searches as well as the search terms themselves. Here, let Search Engine Land explain it to you — they're good at this, and they have pictures, Tramadol For Sale.

Google is selling this feature on the idea that it makes searching faster, though like Scott Rosenberg, Tramadol overnight, I'm not too interested in that aspect. (As TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld pointed out, the bigger change is in the volume of search results you'll be processing, not the speed with which you'll get them.) The more significant issue is what this might do to industry of search-engine optimization. Google noted that websites and keyword ads will see some fluctuations in the number of impressions they get, Tramadol without prescription, and The Guardian has asuperb explanation of how SEO works and what Google Instant might do to it.

PR expert Steve Rubel was the first to speculate that Google Instant could kill SEO, arguing that it will serve as feedback that allows people to change their searches in real-time, rejecting inadequate search results and personalizing the web for themselves. "Google Instant means no one will see the same web anymore, making optimizing it virtually impossible," he said. (The Guardian Tramadol For Sale, also noted that if users are signed into their Google account, their results will also be personalized based on their web history.)

Quite a few people leaped to refute Rubel's point, with ReadWriteWeb quoting a marketer who speculated that top search results and "long-tail search" would gain even more value. Other arguments for the continued existence of SEO: as long as people are using search engines to find information, Tramadol used for, that information will need to be optimized (Search Engine Land); Google's search is still only as good as the content it finds (Econsultancy); SEO experts have already been planning around personalized search and Google Suggest (Vanessa Fox); and they'll continue to adapt to this increased personalization (Google's Matt Cutts).

A couple of people made the interesting case that Google Instant will actually reduce the individuality in web search: Searchers will stop once they see results for a popular search that's close enough to what they were looking for, the argument goes. Web entrepreneur Bob Warfield put the point well: "Instant Search will substitute popular searches for those individually created. More people will be driven off the back roads search trails and onto the superhighways that lead to whomever controls the first few search results connected to the Instant Searches Google is recommending at the time." It's a possibility that could have damaging implications for serendipity in finding alternative news voices online, too. Tramadol pics, —

NPR's targeted local push: We've been hearing for a while about NPR's new local-news web initiative, and this week NPR formally launched it as The Argo Network, a set of a dozen websites run by public-radio stations on specific local issues. PaidContent's Staci Kramer took a close look at what the network's sites look like and the thinking behind them, with NPR execs noting that the network's reporter-bloggers will take a web-first approach and that the underlying philosophy isn't much different from AOL's Patch hyperlocal-news project, Tramadol For Sale. The funding is, however; the project has $3 million to last it through next year, compared with Patch's gobs o' cash.

SF Weekly's Lois Beckett talked to NPR's Matt Thompson about the reporting ethos of the project: A focus on a passionate niche audience, Tramadol interactions, curation and community-building, and an emphasis on the news stream and news developments' context within larger stories. Here at the Lab, Ken Doctor was impressed by the indications that the project will be able to create and multiply audiences for itself and its member stations. "Like Silicon Valley startups, the effort is about building a product that seems to meet a clear audience need, About Tramadol, building that audience — and then finding a sustainable business model," he wrote. "That’s what has built companies for decades in the valley, and it’s in contrast to how much of the journalism business has long gotten funded."

Apple's app police and news: Apple issued revised guidelines for its App Store this week, summarized nicely at Daring Fireball and a little more comically at TechCrunch. You can find plenty of commentary Tramadol For Sale, on this from the developers' perspective, but there's a significant journalistic angle to this as well, as Apple's app store policies have generated a little bit of consternation in the past year.

Apple is using the "we'll know it when we see it" approach to determining what's inappropriate content, which Scott Rosenberg saw as pretty problematic for a platform that Apple's billing as the New Newsstand, Tramadol price, coupon. After running down excerpts from the guidelines in which Apple threatens imposing new rules on the spot and retaliating against developers who give them bad press, Rosenberg wrote, "Now read these questions from the perspective of a writer or journalist or publisher, not a software developer, and tell me they don’t give you the willies."

The Lab's Joshua Benton also examined Apple's rules from a news perspective, Tramadol reviews, expressing frustration at its limitation of its new political satire exception to professionals. "Defining who is a 'professional' when it comes to opinion-sharing is sketchy enough, but when it includes political speech and the defining is being done by overworked employees of a technology company, it’s odious," Benton said.

Reading roundup: Lots of interesting smaller discussions to poke around in this week. Here's a sampling:

— Two must-read pieces of advice for new journalists and journalism students: Jay Rosen's adaptation of his lecture last week (also linked to here last week) on the new users of journalism and how to serve them best, and Mark Briggs' case for studying journalism right now, Tramadol australia, uk, us, usa.

— We got the second quarter's ad numbers for newspapers, which were either a relief (according to the Newspaper Association of America) or another in a seemingly neverending series of low points (according to industry analyst Alan Mutter), Tramadol For Sale. In other depressing statistics, a report found that mainstream journalism jobs in the U.K. have decreased by nearly a third in the last decade.

— At TechCrunch, online video executive Ashkan Karbasfrooshan made his case against content farms from a marketing perspective ("should content producers really be conveying the fact that we’re cheap dates?"), Tramadol online cod, while web veteran John Battelle wrote a long, thoughtful post on whether one of those content farms, Demand Media, can adapt to an increasingly social web.

— New York Times Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. urged media companies to be risk-takers in charging for content and finding sustainable business models online. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, meanwhile, said he sees much more of a future in paid mobile apps than in online news paywalls.

— Finally, two longer pieces to spend some time with this weekend: The Lab published a version of Kimberley Isbell's fabulously helpful primer on aggregation and copyright law, and TechCrunch's Paul Carr wrote an ode to Adam Penenberg's hybrid breaking-news/long-form journalism on Twitter. Great stuff, both.

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Order Armour, on Aug. 27, 2010.]

Maintaining accuracy in an SEO-driven world: Apparently the future-of-news world isn't immune to the inevitable dog days of August, because this week was one of the slowest in this corner of the web in the past year. There were still some interesting discussions simmering, so let's take a look, starting with the political controversy du jour: The proposed construction of a Muslim community center in downtown Manhattan near the site of the Sept, Armour dose. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center. I'm not going to delve into the politics of the issue, or even the complaints that this story is symptomatic of a shallow news media more concerned about drummed-up controversy than substantive issues. Instead, I want to focus on the decisions that news organizations have been making about what to call the project, Order Armour. Armour without a prescription, It has predominantly been called the "ground zero mosque," though beginning about two weeks ago, some attention began being trained on news organizations — led most vocally by The New York Times and The Associated Press, which changed its internal label for the story — that wouldn't use that phrase out of a concern for accuracy. The Village Voice used some Google searches to find that while there's been an uptick in news sources' use of the project's proper names (Park51 and the Cordoba Center), "ground zero mosque" is still far and away the most common designation.

What's most interesting about this discussion are the ideas about why a factually inaccurate term has taken such a deep root in coverage of the issue, Armour no prescription, despite efforts to refute it: The Village Voice pointed a finger at cable news, which has devoted the most time to the story, while the Online Journalism Review's Brian McDermott pinpointed our news consumption patterns driven by "warp-speed skimming" and smart-phone headlines that make easy labels more natural for readers and editors."Watery qualifiers like 'near' or 'so-called' don't stick in our brains as much, nor do they help a website climb the SEO ladder."

Poynter ethicist Kelly McBride zeroed in on that idea of search-engine optimization, noting that the AP is being punished for their stand against the term "ground zero mosque" by not appearing very highly on the all-important news searches for that phrase. In order to stay relevant to search engines, Purchase Armour, news organizations have to continue using an inaccurate term once it's taken hold, she concluded. In response, McBride suggested pre-emptively using factchecking resources to nip misconceptions in the bud. Order Armour, "Now that Google makes it impossible to move beyond our distortions -- even when we know better -- we should be prepared," she said.

Google's search and social takes shots: Google takes more than few potshots every week on any number of subjects, but this week, several of them were related to some intriguing future-of-news issues we've been talking about regularly here at the Lab, doses Armour work, so I thought I'd highlight them a bit. Ex-Salon editor Scott Rosenberg took Google News to task for its placement of an Associated Content article at the top of search results on last week's Dr. Laura Schlessinger controversy. Associated Content is the giant "content farm"bought earlier this year by Yahoo, and its Dr. Laura article appears to be a particularly mediocre constructed article cynically designed solely to top Google's ranking for "Dr, Order Armour. Buy generic Armour, Laura n-word."

Rosenberg takes the incident as a sign that reliability of Google News' search results has begun to be eclipsed by content producers' guile: "When Google tells me that this drivel is the most relevant result, I can’t help thinking, the game’s up." The Lab's Jim Barnett also questioned Google CEO Eric Schmidt's recent articulation of the company's idea of automating online serendipity, wondering how a "serendipity algorithm" might shape or limit our worldviews as Google prefers.

Google's social-media efforts also took a few more hits, with Slate's Farhad Manjoo conducting a postmortem on Google Wave, homing in on its ill-defined purpose and unnecessary complexity, buy Armour from canada. Google should have positioned Wave as an advanced tool for sophisticated users, Manjoo argued, but the company instead clumsily billed it as the possible widespread successor to email and instant messenging. Meanwhile, Adam Rifkin of GigaOM criticized the company's acquisition of the social app company Slide (and its social-media attempts in general), Armour blogs, advising Google to buy companies whose products fit well into its current offerings, rather than chasing after the social-gaming industry — which he said "feels like it’s about to collapse on itself."

WikiLeaks, stateless news and transparency: The saga of the open-source leaking website WikiLeaks took a very brief, bizarre turn this weekend, when reports emerged early Saturday that founder Julian Assange was wanted by Swedish authorities for rape, then later that day prosecutors announced he was no longer a suspect. The New York Times provided some great background Order Armour, on Assange's cat-and-mouse games with various world governments, including the United States, which is reportedly considering charging him under the Espionage Act for WikiLeaks' release last month of 92,000 pages of documents regarding the war in Afghanistan.

No one really had any idea what to make of this episode, Armour dangers, and few were bold enough to make any strong speculations publicly. Two bloggers explored the (possible) inner workings of the situation, with Nicholas Mead using it to argue that catching Assange isn't exactly going to stop WikiLeaks — as NYU professor Jay Rosen noted last month, WikiLeaks is the first truly stateless news organization, something only permitted by the structure of the web.

That slippery, Armour recreational, stateless nature extends to WikiLeaks' funding, which The Wall Street Journal focused on this week in a fine feature. Unlike the wide majority of news organizations, there is virtually no transparency to WikiLeaks' funding, though the Journal did piece together a few bits of information: The site has raised $1 million this year, much of its financial network is tied to Germany's Wau Holland Foundation, and two unnamed American nonprofits serve as fronts for the site, Armour trusted pharmacy reviews.

Hyperlocal news and notes: A few hyperlocal news-related ideas and developments worth passing along: Sarah Hartley, who works on The Guardian's hyperlocal news efforts, wrote a thoughtful post attempting to define "hyperlocal" in 10 characteristics. Hyperlocal, she argues, is no longer defined by a tight geographical area, but by an attitude, Order Armour. She follows with a list of defining aspects, such as obsessiveness, Where to buy Armour, fact/opinion blending, linking and community participation. It's a great list, though it seems Hartley may be describing the overarching blogging ethos more so than hyperlocal news per se. (Steve Yelvington, for one, says the term is meaningless.)

Brad Flora at PBS MediaShift provided a helpful list of blogs for hyperlocal newsies to follow (disclosure: The Lab is one of them), buying Armour online over the counter. And two online media giants made concrete steps in long-expected moves toward hyperlocal news: Microsoft's Bing launched its first hyperlocal product with a restaurant guide in Portland, and Yahoo began recruiting writers for a local news site in the San Francisco area.

Reading roundup Order Armour, : Despite the slow news week, there's no shortage of thoughtful pieces on stray subjects that are worth your time. Here's a quick rundown:

— Spot.Us founder David Cohn wrote an illuminating post comparing journalists' (particularly young ones') current search for a way forward in journalism to the ancient Israelites' 40 years of wandering in the desert. TBD's Steve Buttry, a self-described "old guy, Armour no rx, "responded that it may not take a generation to find the next iteration of journalism but said his generation has been responsible for holding innovation back: "We might make it out of the desert, but I think our generation has blown our chance to lead the way."

— A couple of interesting looks at developing stories online: Terry Heaton posited that one reason for declining trust in news organizations is their focus on their own editorial voice to the detriment of the public's understanding (something audiences see in stark relief when comparing coverage of developing news), and Poynter's Steve Myers used the Steven Slater story to examine how news spreads online.

— At The Atlantic, Tim Carmody wrote a fantastic overview of the pre-web history of reading.

— In an argument that mirrors the discussions about the values of the new news ecosystem, former ESPN.com writer Dan Shanoffgave a case for optimism about the current diffused, buy cheap Armour, democratized state of sports media.

— Another glass-half-full post: Mike Mandel broke down journalism job statistics and was encouraged by what he found.

— Finally, for all the students headed back to class right now, the Online Journalism Review's Robert Niles has some of the best journalism-related advice you'll read all year.
