Google has confirmed the reports of a bug where configuring your search preferences to non-instant results, set to show 100 search results on a page, stopped working.
Disavow File May Not Be Accepted
If you use a disavow file to remove links, Google may not process them if they don't see you making a serious manual attempt at removing those links.
The disavow tool should be used primarily if you have done everything you can to remove an inorganic link and still cannot get the link removed. If you are primarily disavowing links and not trying to remove them, your reconsideration request may not be successful

Other reasons why the disavow tool may not work for you include:
- Double check your disavow file and make sure the link you mentioned is properly disavowed. You can download your latest Disavow file by going to the Disavow tool, clicking "Disavow Links", and clicking "Download".
- Documentation is really good and can help when reviewing your site for reconsideration. Make sure that when you send in documentation that it's accessible, though. It looks like https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_RnM_AdwlOzRm55V3JKNVNoMDQ/edit?usp=drive_web hasn't been shared properly.
Google Bolding Related Words In Search Snippets - Not Titles
I searched for "gone" but Google highlighted the word "dropped" in the snippet. Not in the title, Google did not bold the word "Drops" in the title tag. They did bold the word "dropped" in the snippet.
Google Launches New URL removal Tool
Google launches an improved URL removal tool It can be accessed here.
Removing a whole pages requires the page to have a proper HTTP result code (403, 404, or 410), a noindex robots meta tag, or a robots.txt file that is blocking the page . Then you enter the URL in the URL removal tool and Google will analyze it to see if it is gone. The removal request will be initiated if Google detects the page is no longer there.
Use for Content Removal :
If the page is still live, and you just want to remove content that appears in snippets but is no longer on the actual page, you can use the same tool. Go to the tool and enter a word that no longer appears on the live page and Google will take it from there.
John Mueller, Google’s Webmaster Trends Analyst, describes the functionality of this tool:
How it Works :"This tool is useful for removals on other peoples’ websites. You could use this tool if a page has been removed completely, or if it was just changed and you need to have the snippet & cached page removed".

SEO for Local Audience
In my point of view now a day’s small business that run locally
get maximum benefit via high rank on Search Engine. So many intelligent businesses
now move forward on internet its low cost as compare to other advertisement. It
will really help to generate maximum revenue to business. But if you have a low
budget then you must optimize your website its 75% revenue generates to your business.
There are some basic techniques that will help you in to optimize
your website to target your local audience that are more effectively:
On-Page Optimization
There are so many people running
business like “Garments”, “Fashion” or “Mobiles & tablets” market is very
high & every so many things are changing every time so everyone wants to
updates for this purpose SEO is very help full to hold Internet with low cost
you can advertise your business in a very low price & also improve your business
market. First you can start your business website put your complete bossiness
on it & using your target Keywords in web content or your product related information.
When you are doing onsite optimization for local mobile devices,
you will be following the same techniques as what you used for your desktop
website. This means getting a mobile URL, using keywords and adding headings
and metatags. However, this time your site will be target a smaller audience
that is located in the vicinity. You can use social media sharing buttons to
spread the news about your site; make sure that your contact details are
located in a prominent position, so that people can easily find you; and it is
a good idea to have your telephone number with a ‘Call’ button to encourage
locals to call and speak with you. In
addition, have a mobile sitemap, so that search engines can crawl your site and
rank it. This will help in getting your mobile site listed and with proper
search engine optimization, your site will rank high on mobile searches.
Another point that you need to consider is the loading time of
your site. If your site takes too long to load, people will leave it and reach
for your competitor’s site. Hence, have a site that loads quickly and provides
the information that local users are looking for.
Off-Page Optimization
Besides onsite optimization, you also have to do offsite
optimization that helps you get back links to ensure that your site can be
found locally. You could have a blog that contains articles and latest news
about your business. Make sure that you have the relevant tags (your area and
products) to ensure that your blog is optimized for your region.
You can even include your business into location-based mobile apps
to ensure that smartphone and other mobile device users find you when they use
these apps. This can drive a lot of local traffic to your site and increase
your revenue generation.
List your business in local directories and encourage users to
write reviews. It has been seen that majority of mobile device users gives a
lot of importance to peer reviews and often make their purchase decision based
on these reviews.
Can GoogleBot Read QR Codes?
Google Webmaster Help thread has an interesting question, does Google use QR codes for discovering new content and pages? Can GoogleBot read QR codes and follow through to the data, URL or whatever behind them.
Google's John Mueller didn't really know, he responded in the thread:
"That's an interesting question -- do you have an example of one that we could look at?"
I assume it is easy enough to test. Create a page somewhere, only link to it with a QR code. Make sure Google finds the page with the QR code and wait and see if Google discovers the page. Of course, you need to make sure Google doesn't discover the page other ways.
I am not sure why it matters to much.
I assume even if GoogleBot does discover pages through QR codes, which I doubt. That the QR code won't pass PageRank and necessarily past trust. But again, that somewhat can be tested.
Google Trends Top Charts
Google announced they have added a new section toGoogle Trends named Top Charts.
This new feature shows you by category what is trending now. Google said this new top charts feature will, by category, show you "not just what's most searched overall, but what's spiking compared with usual search volumes."
