by Sage Lewis

Search Engine Journal reports that Wal-Mart is telling the search engines no links to their black Friday ads; their legal team is even taking action against sites attempting to publish related content. Sage speculates whether Wal-Mart is really that stupid or if this is just some kind of weird marketing ploy. Also in the news are Google and Yahoo.

Yahoo gets some attention with their Glue Topic Pages, a way to get universal, blended search content.
