SEO Files > The Year in Search 2006
[ReveNews - Carsten Cumbrowski, Online Revenue News & Opinions Since 1998] The Google Landing Page or Quality Score was one of the biggest stories, Googtube of course, the BigDaddy update and I would say the Panama release, but the impact of that one will be felt next year.

[Blog.searchenginewatch.com] Search Engine Watch Blog: October 8, 2006 - October 14, 2006 Archives: Rand over at SEOMoz wrote an excellent post detailing all the different resources publicly available to gather statistical data on pretty much any web site out there. He breaks down the tools into several parts including "Technical Data," "Ownership/Hosting Data," "Statistics/Popularity Data," "Search Engine Indexing Data," "Link Data," "Social Tagging Data," "Third-Party Trust Metrics," "Important Directory & Site Listings," and "Press & Media Mentions." This comprehensive list of resources is bookmark-worthy and I seriously hope Rand keeps this particular post up-to-date.
