Google offers some new directives about the Robots.txt Exclusion Protocol
Google underlines that webmasters need to remember that REP META tags can be useful for implementing
no-archive, no-snippet and now unavailable_after tags for page-level instruction. This is in
comparison to the previously used robots.txt file, which was controlled at the root of the
domain. Google says it gets some requests from bloggers and webmasters for these new features.

Is Google loosing out to Yahoo?
Often, stories about a person’s favorite local sports team or happenings in their hometown are of
more interest than what’s going on in say, the 2008 presidential race. It will be interesting
to see if more big media companies, as well as the search giants, seek to cash in on the hyper-local
trend... Increasingly, it seems that the battle for Internet readers and advertisers begins and
ends with the companies that are able to provide the most comprehensive and relevant coverage of
everyone’s individual needs.
