google: October 2008 Archives

It's been a while since I've heard of new meta tags being introduced (or maybe I just wasn't aware of any)

Google has just introduced a new tag:

<a meta name="google" value="no translate">

You can use it to mark pages on your site that you DO NOT want the Google translator tools to translate.
They've also introduced a method of marking text within a page as not be translated:

 class=notranslate

You can read more about this on the official blog

Yahoo! has launched their new Web Analytics service.

Yahoo! acquired IndexTools earlier this year in a similar fashion to how Google acquired Urchin a few years ago.

The IndexTools' sites are now being redirected to the new Yahoo! Web Analytics one.

At present Yahoo! seem to be offering it to some of their client base, but it's not clear how easily it will be for the rest of us to gain access.

Will they be able to topple Google Analytics (Urchin)?
