Googl travel dates
-
I have just noticed, while checking where our hotel clients rank for certain keywords, and noticed a panel on the left hand side called Travel dates. There was a check in and check out option which could be populated manually or by using a drop down calendar. But there's no submit button or anything like that. What is this panel for, and can any benefit be had from it, because from what I can see it doesn't actually do anything (unless it's not displaying properly on my computer?

Thanks for the link Keri. Apparently the feature has not been fully implemented as of yet.

Is it possible your browser has a plug-in related to travel?
-
That's very odd then. When I get a mo, I'll do a screen grab so you can see what I'm seeing, but that may not be until Monday.

I tried the link you offered. The search works fine but I do not see any calendar. I tried in both FF and IE. I am not using any pop-up nor ad blocking software.
The left sidebar shows "Everything, Images, Videos, News, Shopping, More" then below that there is a "Search Near" box and a "The Web - pages from UK" widget. No calendar.
-
What if you paste this into the address bar?

I tried searching "hotels near henley" in both google.com and google.co.uk. I did not see a calendar for either search.
What exact tool are you using for your search? Google? Yahoo? Bing? Another search engine? Which country location is your search based on? .com? .co.uk? Something else?

Hi Ryan,
The option comes up when I search for 'hotels near henley', but I also didn't get it when looking for London hotels, which probably implies it's tied to certain searches that are more specific than just having hotel in them, which seems odd. You'd think if there was a use they for them, they would be in all travel-based enquiries?

Where exactly did you notice this calendar?
I tried searching "London hotels" in Google and did not see any calendar.

Google News results ...can it be SEOed?
Hello Everyone. I simply wanted to know if anyone had some useful insight on what it takes for a legitimate website to appear within the Google News results. I have rarely, or ever, had to dabble in this kind of SEO, but after coming across a situation with a perfectly legitimate website, I'm now scratching my head. The site in question is a very well established website, with 0 "seo" done to it. All links organic, all traffic legit and they have VERY strong social media presence. The site's current DA is 50. Its a 3 letter domain. Some of the points I believe are important quantity and quality of content (% of aggregated vs actually original content) overall % of "news" content vs rest of the site content authors/writers credentials (how would Google evaluate the authority of a writer, so his/her content is newsworthy?) overall site authority rich snippet and code needed to be indexed? I think rel publisher or rel author tags have something to do with it? making sure to have basic SEO in place: canonical tag, unique headers, etc. What am I missing? They have one particular competitor that seem to be ranking for almost everything news related, while being a similar site in content and authority, however they are nowhere. They have submitted to Google News before (not even sure what that means) but have failed to be included -- does this put a "stain" on them for any reason or impede the possibility of being indexed in the Google News results in the future? ANY input is appreciated.

Is the search volume insight in Bing more accurate as it is in Google?
Does anybody know if Search volume insight in Bing is more accurate than it is in Google?
SERP Trends | | Seeders
Moz is showing Search Volume insight in Bing now (not sure about the reason, probably Moz has no access to Google? Or is it because it is more accurate?)
For some words I have my doubts about the Google Keyword Tool. I don't know about Bing.
For the first time I compare two words on Bing with Google I found out the ratio in Bing is very different compared with Google. Example:
When you check out the words: espressomachine and koffiemachine
**Google, local search in the Netherlands: **
espressomachine: 6600
koffiemachine: 8100
Bing, local search in the Netherlands:
espressomachine: 549
koffiemachine: 361 So..., are Bing users typical kind of users who uses other search phrases?
Or... is one of these two more accurate? Does anybody know?0 -
How Popular is Google Image Search?
Are there any stats on the volume of searches through Google's Image Search? My assumption is that more users are turning to image search to shop but I haven't found any supporting data. I know that click-throughs to site have fallen after Google's recent changes to the UI but still just interested in initial search volume.
