Google adwords even though not that specific does allow users to use zip codes for their targeted adwords and the search is limited to 20 miles around the targeted area. This allows advertisers find custom targets as per the zip code provided. This geo targeted feature can be used by simply altering your existing settings.  Yahoo sponsored search advertisers need to make changes under the campaign setting tab. In the target by field drop down box, you need select the zip/postal code option. After making your zip code selection, you’ll need to supply your list of zip codes and the search will process accordingly.

Visions based document segmentation is a new patent obtained by Microsoft. The web pages have so much diversity in topics including content, links, labels and ads that search engines will find it really difficult to index and get the pages for the searchers.

This patent considers breaking down the web pages into a number of different blocks having meaning. This is done on the basis of how we see the page. These sections are identified as portions of the page with varying meanings and this might be completely unrelated to one another.

The existence of the blocks will be helpful to the search engine when they look for pages and will decide on the indexing based on the content found in that page. This will help the searchers to get more information on what they were looking for.

The page as per the patent is broken into visual blocks and the differences in the page sections are found out. This is used to create the visual separations between the sections. These blocks and the separators are used to create a content structure for that page. The pages are not directly ranked, but the sections and the blocks of the pages are used for ranking so that, it is easier to find out the right information for the searchers.

 
Google tries to look into the change of content in the web pages and how this affects the page rank of the corresponding pages. 

This is based on the fact that websites get updated frequently. There can be addition of products or information in websites and blogs. There are changes that occur on a regular basis and those changes have high relevance in the page rank. 

Google is using the patent for historical data to update on the changes happening in the websites. This has a direct impact on the click through rate as well as the link changes in the web pages. The patent also concentrates on the keywords that affect those pages. Hence the historical ranking factors of Google will be affected with the updates happening in various web pages. 

There are cases when the pages that has content recently changed will be considered more acceptable than those pages that has not been updated anywhere in the recent past. In such cases, Google will have to keep track of the changes that are occurring for the queries that are more frequent. This is in fact the relevance of the historical patent for data content for any changes by Google.
