Google executive defends partnership with Yahoo

Filed under: Miscellaneous — Tags: advertisements, deal, Google, Microsoft, search, Yahoo — SticKer @ 12:53 am

A Google Inc. executive defended the company’s proposed search advertising partnership with Yahoo Inc. in prepared congressional testimony released Monday, contesting the prevalent notion that it will only expand the market leader’s already considerable influence.

On June 12, Yahoo said it would run advertisements supplied by Google alongside search query results as part of a four-year deal estimated to bring Yahoo up to $800 million in revenue a year.

Search advertising by Google, search results by Yahoo, and a lot of scrutiny at the federal level received another layer of interest, this time from state governments.

Microsoft Corp.’s top attorney meanwhile countered in his own prepared testimony that the deal “would effectively create a monopoly in search advertising.”

How To Remove Your Phone Number From Search Engines

Filed under: Miscellaneous — Tags: address, Google, personal info., phone number, removal, search — SticKer @ 8:46 am

We had a user ask this question in our forum and i thought of sharing this in the blog so that it can be useful to people who are not aware of such a thing.

Here’s the question:

I typed my home phone number in the google search and it comes up with my name, address, and a link to a map of where my house is. I know there is a way you can remove it just by typing something into the google search engine.

Some of our member’s answered this question and here’s the answer:

Answer: How To Remove Your Phone Number From Google Search

To do this: Type in your full phone number using dashes like this:
555-123-4567.

If your number appears in the mapping database, an icon resembling a telephone will appear to left of the entry on the results page.

Click on this icon and it will take you to a page containing a description of the service, and a link to request your number be removed!

Recheck your phone # to be sure it has been removed. Also, if you have children, please check their phone # too!
