Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

Search Engine Roundtable Stories:

  Yesterday we reported that the Google quality raters guidelines URL was not returning the PDF document, it was 404ing. Well, Google said it moved and as of this morning, some of the URLs hosting that PDF have been redirected to the new destination.
• Fancy Google Dublin Library
  Here is a photo from the Google Dublin office. In that office they have this small but fancy looking library, with real physical books and wooden shelves. Google has libraries in its other offices
