Google's released its newest WebmasterHelp video on YouTube, which features Matt Cutts talking about phone number spam. Its a brief Help video, which basically serves as a reminder for everyone that Google takes Phone number spam serviously and are working towards eliminating this sort of spam.
A webmaster gets several kinds of messages everyday via webmaster tool. But very few of us actually know how many different kinds of messages Google sends, and why they send them. In a recent video reply on Youtube, Matt Cutts, Webspam head at Google, informs the webmasters about different types of messages sent via Webmaster Tools.
Matt Cutts, the head of the webspam team at Google revealed that Google Webmaster Tools will soon roll out a feature which will give examples of “Unnatural Links” to the webmasters. He further says, that example links will give the webmaster a basic idea about the type of links Google is no longer trusting.
Last week, Google announced Solution Gallery for Google Analytics. The published gallery allows you find solutions related to e-commerce, mobile-ecommerce, social sharing, performance, social sharing and much more. The most notable factor about this features is that it permits the user to select the report type, the solution required and the marketing activity one needs to track. The solution features can be downloaded from their website by selecting the appropriate analytics profile.
The “not selected” option in the Webmaster Tools has been officially removed. A comment from Google’s John Mueller, a Webmaster Trends Analysts in Google Zurich confirms the same.
He says, “Yep, this was removed on purpose since it was causing more confusion than actually helping webmasters with their sites.”
Google AdWords rolled out Enhanced Campaigns to easily manage cross-device campaigns In AdWords. Enhanced campaigns will help search marketers have a more sophisticated control over their campaigns, by being able to manage all campaigns that are targeted to different devices at one level.
Matt Cutts is really doing a good job solving queries by putting out help videos on Youtube. And this time he informs us all about why Google doesnt turn off Toolbar PageRank. This help video holds significance because Google just pushed out its first PageRank update for 2013.

The following message was posted by CI on their website yesterday:
The SEOs and webmasters were ecstatic when Google launched the Disavow Links Tool last October. However, they failed to satisfy the long list of queries regarding the tool that followed the launch. The SEOs and webmasters were left to figure out the best way to use this tool on their own.
We are all aware that the book “The New Digital Age” authored by Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google, and co-authored by Jared Cohen, director of Google Ideas, will hit the stands in April. Keenly awaiting the launch of this book, we came across some excerpts from this book posted by The Wall Street Journal on their blog.
