Check out this screen shot from Google:

It would appear however that the site has not been “automatically” removed from Google and in fact has been MANUALLY deleted from the SERPS!  The site has no meta tags that instruct google to “noindex” and the pages are still accessible at the moment.  Which in effect means that the Paywall hasn’t been rolled out yet.  Suggesting that after the announcement, Google offices would have then found the Times Site and manually taken it out of the SERPS.

Whether or not this was a collaboration between Google and the Times leader Murdoch is unknown.  Interestingly as mentioned you can still access all of the sub domains but cannot access the main website.  There could be yet more changes to come, but at the moment, the main Times site looks as though it is a faint memory!

Well now you can with a new search engine called LeapFish not only can you search the internet with this new multimedia search engine but you can also customize the site from the homepage with the option of logging via connecting your FaceBook account.

I connected my FaceBook account to LeapFish.com to give it good checking out!

So after connecting my account I tried the two search options the first the default search and searched for “Blazing Minds”, when the results come up you can then cycle through Google, Yahoo and Bing to see the results from each of the engines. You also get the options to choose from Videos, Images, News, Blogs and Shopping, brilliant and the results are so quick and informative.

Next I tried the Real Time search, this time I tried a search for a word of the top of my head, “Batman” great I was delivered a list of News Results, Wikipedia, Web results, video, twitter, blogs and even digg posts, outstanding.

So using LeapFish is great and much more than other browsers, you can customize the way the homepage is shown with widgets, changing colours, you can even add LeapFish to your search list in FireFox!

But what I really like about this search engine is the way that everything comes up on one page and it’s also very quick, so if you are looking for an alternative to Google, Yahoo, Bing or other engines then give it a go, I’m glad I did

LeapFish is conducting private demos prior to the highly anticipated launch, if interested please email demo@leapfish.com

Firstly a great little website, but not to take to seriously is PageRank Prediction the title says it all really, it’s a simple pagerank checker, just enter your website address and the site will try to give you your pagerank on the next Google PageRank update, I’ve found it to be around 80% accurate though, so give it a whirl!

Next is the first in the “Graders” websites, the Website Grader measures the marketing effectiveness of a website. It provides a score that incorporates things like website traffic, SEO, social popularity and other technical factors. It also provides some basic advice on how the website can be improved from a marketing perspective.

The second “Grader” is one which is quite fun and is the Twitter Grader, will give you a grade out of 100, show followers, following, Summary of the Twitter, history and tweet cloud, all good fun and useful tool to see what a new follow is really doing!

Finally a website tool for those of you trying to improve your websites keywords, the Google AdWords Keyword Tool, is a must, just type in the keywords that you would like to improve on and Google will search through it’s database and try to give you a good selection of keywords that may help improve your keyword on your post or website, I do find this very useful for some posts and it has improved my posts in the past, it may even help you with Google Adsense, but it is trial and error, so give it a go.

So hopefully what I’m doing, I’m doing right, by blogging about interesting things and not having the over abundance of out going dofollow links from my site Google has let me have a little piece of the pie, so hopefully here’s to a nice little update on the Google PageRank updates

The trouble with speed droppers is that they land on your site hit drop and then bugger off! Which is not really good for your blogs bounce rate, ok, I may be sending this right over people heads right now, so I would recommend reading the Wiki about Bounce Rate to find out what it is, but to cut a story short, bounce rate is the amount of time a visitor stays on your blog before moving onto another site etc.

The aim is for you to try to analyze and reduce your Bounce rate, but with EntreCard dropping this is a hard task, due to the problem with speed droppers, there is not much you can do about the EntreCard droppers that just drop and run, but there are ways to improve Bouce Rate with other visitors, so it’s a matter of a little work to get a better Bounce Rate for your blog.

So the question is will a bad Bounce Rate affect your Google search ranking etc? Well some say yes and some say no, so I’m too sure myself, but it is a thought that you have to take with you when blogging or even building your home page on your website, will the content cause your viewer to stay or just shoot straight to another website, before giving you blog/site a chance.

I personally am considering the thoughts that EntreCard is damaging my Bouce Rate and overall search engine rankings, but then again, it helps my Google Advertising with hits etc, so I’m 50/50 at the moment, it’s a “time will tell” situation, so I think I may wait to see how the next Google Page Rank goes and how the searches are coming in before I do anything major..

So I’ve given it a bash and wow Google Earth 5 will allow you to fly, or should that be swim!, around the ocean checking out more than you could on previous version of Google Earth.

As with the other version of Google Earth it is a free download so it won’t cost you a penny, unless you want the pro version which will set you back $400 about £280, but the free version is good enough.

Now I am hoping that when the next Pagerank update happens I can go up a bit more, fingers crossed.

Some of my other sites have either stayed the same or had a slight increase, so I’m not sure what I’m doing but I must be doing something right, so I’ll keep doing what I’m doing now and see what happens on the next update, not sure when that will be as this one, it seemed like an eternity between the previous Pagerank update and this one!
