Google Caffeine Update Live, Kind Of

coffee-cup I have been doing some testing with different search terms at CompareGoogle and have noticed that many of  the rankings for terms we, Lead411, are included in, have been changed.  Not all, but plenty have been.  It seems Google has been implementing the Caffeine update.  I don’t think it is 100% live, but it is getting there.

Shiba Inu Puppy Cam = Double your traffic

  This is ustream.tv’s 4 month traffic chart. In the past month they have exploded due to their live stream – “Shiba Inu Puppy Cam” – in which a San Francisco couple has been showing a 24/7 feed of their Shiba Inu puppies via the ustream.tv website. I have probably been to the site 40 times since someone forwarded me the link a few weeks ago and am still amazed at how quickly a link/site can spread… It reminds me of SNL’s Lazy Sunday video which was uploaded to youtube and garnered over 2 million viewers in less than 1 week. Youtube was barely known before this and really put them on the map.
