  • Google's Major Algorithm Updates and How
    GOOGLE’S MAJOR ALGORITHM UPDATES AND HOW THEY AFFECT WEBSITE'S SEARCH PRIORITY Posted on May 26, 2016 by Andrew Teh Category: Online Marketing Tags: google, google algorithm, google updates, search engine optimization As a company that revolutionizes internet search mechanism by introducing the most sophisticated way of searching with its PageRank system, Google regards its search engine as its most essential asset. Updates to its search result ranking algorithm are periodically introduced, implemented and revised to make sure that its search engine ranks websites fair and square. Most of these updates are minor, but there are some major updates that significantly change the search engine’s behavior. The first major update is called Panda, which Google first introduced in 2011. About a year later, Google introduced Penguin, which further enhanced the search engine’s ingenuity in rewarding quality websites and punishing spammy websites with manipulative link profiles. The next major updates that follows, including Hummingbird, Pigeon and RankBrain, make Google even more context-friendly and more capable to provide users with more relevant search results. Google also released a special update called Mobilegeddon, which allows its search engine to give priority to mobile-friendly websites when users use their mobile devices for searching. For website owners, knowing the features introduced by new updates and their impact to their websites is crucial. Here you will learn about what you need to know about each of those major updates so that you and your websites can get prepared to deal with them. Panda Introduced on: Feb 24, 2011. Revision: Monthly. Purpose: Lower the rank of websites with poor content quality.

  • COMMUNICATOR the Journal of Indian Institute of Mass Communication Volume LIII, Number-4, October-December, 2018 ISSN: 0588-8093 Message from Editor-In-Chief
    COMMUNICATOR The Journal of Indian Institute of Mass Communication Volume LIII, Number-4, October-December, 2018 ISSN: 0588-8093 Message From Editor-in-Chief At the outset, I wish to express my gratitude to all the academicians and scholars who participated and presented papers at the National Seminar on “The State of Indian Language Journalism and Training” organised by IIMC with support from Indian Council of Social Sciences and Research (ICSSR) on October, 29 and 30, 2018 at IIMC Campus. K. G. Suresh The conference was organised to Editor-in-Chief commemorate the silver jubilee of Director General, IIMC our Eastern Regional Campus at Dhenkanal, Odisha from where we started our first language journalism programme in Odia. In the last three years, we have given a major push to language journalism launching a Malayalam Journalism programme at our Kottayam, Kerala campus and Marathi Journalism programme at Amravati, Maharashtra campus. This apart, we have upgraded the Certificate programme in Urdu Journalism to a full fledged Diploma programme. We have even started a three months Advanced Certificate Programme in Sanskrit Journalism in collaboration with the Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth besides setting up the Department of Indian Language Journalism. Future plans include starting Hindi and Urdu Journalism programmes from our Jammu campus and Bangla from our Odisha campus. Apart from the papers presented at the conference, many eminent academicians have also contributed to this volume. I am confident that this special issue on the state of Indian language journalism and training would be a collector’s issue for both students and scholars as also media persons across the country and would help them in better understanding of the issues at stake and take requisite steps to improve the quality and standard of both language journalism and training at a time when language journalism is growing by leaps and bounds.

  • Ouellette, the Google Shortcut to Trademark Law, 102 CALIF
    Preferred citation: Lisa Larrimore Ouellette, The Google Shortcut to Trademark Law, 102 CALIF. L. REV. (forthcoming 2014), available at http://ssrn.com/abstract=2195989. The Google Shortcut to Trademark Law Lisa Larrimore Ouellette* Trademark distinctiveness—the extent to which consumers view a mark as identifying a particular source—is the key factual issue in assessing whether a mark is protectable and what the scope of that protection should be. But distinctiveness is difficult to evaluate in practice: assessments of “inherent distinctiveness” are highly subjective, survey evidence is expensive and unreliable, and other measures of “acquired distinctiveness” such as advertising spending are poor proxies for consumer perceptions. But there is now a simpler way to determine whether consumers associate a word or phrase with a certain product: Google. Through a study of trademark cases and contemporaneous search results, I argue that Google can generally capture both prongs of the test for trademark distinctiveness: if a mark is strong—either inherently distinctive or commercially strong—then many top search results for that mark relate to the source it identifies. The extent of results overlap between searches for two different marks can also be relevant for assessing the likelihood of confusion of those marks. In the cases where Google and the court disagree, I argue that Google more accurately reflects how consumers view a given mark. Courts have generally given online search results little weight in offline trademark disputes. But the key factual questions in these cases depend on the wisdom of the crowds, making Google’s “algorithmic authority” highly probative. * Yale Law School Information Society Project, Postdoctoral Associate in Law and Thomson Reuters Fellow.
