One of the main competitors (?) for Google Webmaster Tools is Yahoo’s Site Explorer. Not as feature-rich as Webmaster Tools, the Explorer has a feature which lets you delete an indexed page from its index. Why doesn’t Yahoo do it? A new feature, in BETA, is the Dynamic URLs. This new feature allows you to [...]

It seems that MSN Search is doing more and more changes. Two weeks ago, MSN announced that they introduced a new Live Search “relevant, faster and easier to use”. They offered us a press release and a fact sheet containing all changes made. A few days ago, MSN announced again new and improved product results [...]
