Sometimes it seems that Google and Bing’s sole purpose is to mess with website owners, constantly changing how they do search and keeping us all on our toes. Well, keeping with the holiday spirit, Google and Bing have delivered something this month for which we can all be thankful. No major updates.

There are some nice updates this month that are actually quite helpful for webmasters. I’ll tell you all about it in this month’s SEO update.
