Recently Google put up an experimental search suggest feature for Google Maps to make it faster and more accurate to find places, businesses and points of interest as you type your search. But this was only available for Google Maps in Germany, China, Hong Kong and most recently Taiwan. But now, Google has just made this search suggest feature on Google Maps to 10 more domains and 8 additional languages, including on maps.google.com. Suggest for Google Maps was built on locally relevant stock of knowledge to get the most useful suggestions depending on where you are zoomed into Google Map. In addition, Suggest for Google Maps also give you additional information including business addresses to help you find and select the best and most exact business or location that you may be looking for. If you’re anywhere in these regions - China, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Taiwan, United States, United Kingdom, you can now use the said feature.

Of course Matt Cutts posted an video last Monday where he explains whether the pagerank of twitter profiles matter. Since twitter nofollows all internal links, profiles should only get high pageranks through external links. However http://twitter.com/you has a pagerank of 5. When we look at the link profile for that page we see this is mostly thanks to the internal links from twitter profiles. Now you might say Google only sees internal nofollowed links to that profile since the popups aren’t shown to Google (Googlebot isn’t logged in). But many of the links in Googles cache aren’t nofollowed yet as you can see at some of the cached profiles. Google hasn’t re-indexed every profile yet. We can see this when we do this search . Note: the link operator doesn’t provide any accurate results on Google, but usually it shows a small number from the total number of results. We can expect a drop in pagerank for his profile-page with the next pagerank update. We can expect a drop on everyone’s twitter page! Where does all the pagerank go? All to the homepage as those links are followed. Useful? Nope, the homepage isn’t going to rank for many keywords anyway. @Twitter, get smarter! I am not you and internal nofollow doesn’t make any sense! This is a guest post by Bartjan Cazander an SEO consultant who specializes in SEO targeted for the Netherlands.
