APP DEVELOPMENT - Yelp have announced some big news - They've increased the call limit on their API to 25,000 per day, and made it easier for developers to use, in addition to opening it up to all developers for free. In other words, anyone who wants to use Yelp data in their apps or website can now do so easily, without cost, and pull enough data to make actual useful Yelp-related features. For Yelp, this means that it's likely to see a big increase in the visibility of its content and its ads. For businesses, it means more people than ever are going to be exposed to reviews - positive and negative. Let battle commence!

The Pirate Bay has been already been resurrected but this time by the isoHunt torrent site, which has launched the stalwart piracy site as oldpiratebay.org following its takedown by Swedish police a few days ago. However, unlike previous resurrections the new site is not a simple “mirror” and is offering fresh content including the latest film and music releases for peer-to-peer downloading as well as linking to the old The Pirate Bay archives, not that difficult in itself, as The Pirate Bay’s torrent database has always been freely available for download. In a statement, isoHunt explained its reason for bringing back The Pirate Bay: "As you probably know the beloved Pirate Bay website is gone for now. It'll be missed." "In its honour we are making the oldpiratebay.org search. We, the isohunt.to team, copied the database of Pirate Bay in order to save it for generations of users. Nothing will be forgotten. Keep on believing, keep on sharing." I guess watch this space…

A paper published by the respected US journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences back in July this year revealing Facebook’s “secret emotional experiment” on its users received more online attention than any other scientific research paper published during 2014, according to a new study by Academic analysts Altmetric. It single-handedly sparked outrage by revealing that Facebook had been experimenting on hundreds of thousands of unwitting users, attempting to induce an “emotional state” by selectively showing positive or negative stories in their news feeds, although perhaps more surprisingly the majority of the recorded attention was on Twitter than Facebook itself, where the article was shared 4,000 times to almost 10 million people.

I recently wrote about Google´s™ new Pigeon algo update and members of my Inner Sanctum have already had the inside track on what measures to adopt to ensure that their content will be irresistible to the Pigeon. So first, what is Google™ Pigeon? Well in a nutshell, it is a fairly sophisticated update which focuses on tailoring local search results so that Google™ users can find services in their specific area easier. Having said that Pigeon is a local search update, it does actually count web content in its changes. This is because your web content needs to be location specific if you want to rank in local searches – makes sense, right? How will Google™ Pigeon affect you and your rankings? The update is mainly going to impact and affect your local search ranking. Unlike previous updates like Penguin and Panda you will not receive penalties for your content, so you can relax on that score. It is, however, going to impact where your site appears in the SERPs when someone in your area is looking for a business that offers whatever you offer. For example, if you are a Dentist in London, then someone searching for that search term is more likely to find you.

However, a few days ago Google pushed out a new and major algo update for local search (which one of the industry's leading SEO resources "Search Engine Land" has dubbed the "Pigeon" update). There aren't many details disclosed about the so-called "Pigeon" update yet, but webmasters have been reporting considerable changes in their local rankings over the past few days - I am speaking with all my contacts to find out exactly how "Pigeon" will affect your rankings and how to adapt your SEO strategy for the changes.
