Danny Sullivan was in town over the weekend and on Saturday night, Vanessa Fox from Sitemaps invited Mystery Guest and me over to Google’s Kirkland offices. We had a ton of fun and got to meet some new (and very friendly) Googlers. Just a few photos:

Danny authors Google’s to-do list for the next week
The final list included the first 9 from me and 10-13 from Danny:
- Re-institute accurate “link:” command
- Add action tracking to Google Analytics
- Dis-mantle new Google-bomb protection algo
- New logo for Groundhog day
- Add true PageRank data to Sitemaps console
- Ban Digg.com from index (just to mess with Rose’s head)
- Make results numbers precise(ish)
- Remove PageRank from the toolbar
- Change anchor text for title use to use any random anchor text
- Make site: command show all subdomains once again
- Ban SERoundtable.com just to mess with Barry’s head
- Frame all Wikipedia links so clickthrough shows page with AdSense alongside
- Onebox to show alternative porn listings for any search

Thanks a ton, Vanessa and crew. Let me know when I can return the favor at SEOmoz 🙂
