Press Release Sites See Huge Drop In Google Ranking After Panda 4.0

Yesterday I reported at Search Engine Land that Panda 4.0 may have hurt press release sites and showed SearchMetrics data for PRWeb, PR Newswire, BusinessWire and PRLog all losing between 60% to 85% of their SEO visibility. This drop seems to have come right after the Google Panda 4.0 update. The controversy around press release sites were mostly about links flowing from those releases, not necessarily the issue with the duplicative nature of that content. But let’s be honest, many many press releases issued are content thin and spammy on the content end, not just on the link end. So maybe, just maybe, Panda 4.0 adjusted for it and the big sites felt it? Sean from SEER also documented the drop via SEM Rush data and screen shots of before …

Crowdfunding: 3 incredibly tiny PC modules starting at just $15

There was a time when computers were enormous, expensive machines that filled entire rooms. Now you can pick up a tiny desktop computer like the Raspberry Pi for about $35. But there’s room to go even smaller – and cheaper. Three new projects hit crowdfunding campaign Indiegogo recently, with the developers hoping to raise funds to offer incredibly small computer modules for prices as low as $15. These aren’t necessarily systems that will replace your Core i7 desktop PC anytime soon. But they could be used to help set up a wireless media server, print station, home automation system, or other DIY projects.

After the Sun (Microsystems) Sets, the Real Stories Come Out

Sun Microsystems, born in 1982, gone public in 1986, struggling in the 2000s, and absorbed by Oracle in 2010, left its mark on Silicon Valley and the world. In Sun’s wake are 235,000 people who can count themselves as former employees. Its technical splashes continue to ripple through the world today (Sun’s slogan, the network is the computer, seems particularly prescient in today’s world of cloud computing). And its legendary pranks have yet to be topped (like “parking” software guru Bill Joy’s Ferrari in a pond and stabbing a giant tree trunk through former CEO Scott McNealy’s office). On Saturday night some 700 former Sun employees gathered in a Mountain View, Calif., parking lot outside Sun’s first corporate headquarters to reminisce, network, and, …

SpaceX Unveils Fully Reusable Spacecraft That Can Carry 7 Astronauts & Land Anywhere on Earth

SpaceX founder Elon Musk took the wraps off its next-generation spacecraft today, called Dragon V2. The key improvements are that Dragon V2 will be able to land anywhere on Earth with its propulsion system and the accuracy of a helicopter. It will also be capable of carrying seven astronauts for several days. Musk said Dragon V2 is capable of docking autonomously, and that it can land either via the propulsion system, or in the case that any engines aren’t working – deploy parachutes for a safe landing. Even after starting the propulsion system, it can afford to lose two engines and land safely – primarily because of upgraded powerful engines known as “Super Draco” thrusters. Apart from the convenience of a landing location…
