“The goal of Google Caffeine is to continue enhancing user search experience. User experience is something we’ve been extremely focused on from our inception. In that regard, we are confident we’re naturally aligned with Google Caffeine best practice standards. And have consistently achieved the results to prove it.

SEO Internet Market Research firm Irbtrax randomly evaluated SEO Internet Marketing methods and found far too many are still entrenched in ‘outdated’ practices. Practices that won’t achieve optimal results. And could even harm companies that apply them when the Google Caffeine Algorithm Update is completed sometime after the holidays.

The following partial list of concerns were discovered while randomly evaluating these SEO Internet Marketing practices:

Lack of emphasis on fresh and updated website content.
Downplaying importance of Social Media where applicable.
Not addressing issues with website page download times.
Ignoring poorly constructed Meta Title & Description Tags.
Advocating Link Farming and insisting on keyword stuffing.
Not emphasizing quality outbound links that are relevant to the website’s theme.

I wanted to let you know that 2.9 is available for download, in fact hopefully you already saw a notice about it in your dashboard and clicked the update button. If not you can download it here WordPress version 2.9 “Carmen”

It’s had over half a million downloads already, and counting!

What are people so excited about? Some of the headline features are global undo/trash, built-in image editor, batch upgrades, plugin compatibility checker, and easier embeds. You can read all about it and watch a handy intro video here:

The coolest new stuff from a user point of view is:

1. Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete.
2. Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who’s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.
3. Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we’re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.
4. Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).
