Last Thursday, many of you just couldn't get enough of us and joined our second live Webmaster Central chat, "JuneTune." It was an action-packed session with live presentations, questions and answers and chatting about cats and other important topics. Over the course of an hour and a half, we made four presentations, received over 600 questions and passed around close to 500 chat messages. It was great to see so many Googlers around the world involved: Adam, Bergy, Evan, Jessica, Maile, Matt (Cutts), Matt (Dougherty), Reid and Wysz in Mountain View; Jonathan and Susan in Kirkland; Alvar, Mariya, Pedro and Uli in Dublin; and me in Zürich. We had users from about as many places as Matt (Harding) has danced in: Alaska, Argentina, Arizona, Australia, Brazil, California, Canada, Chile, Colorado, Costa Rica, Denmark, Egypt, Florida, France, Germany, Greece, Hawaii, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, New Zealand, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Russia, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Vietnam and a bunch from Seattle, Washington - thank you all for joining us!
To help make the most out of this session, we'd like to make the transcripts and presentations available to everyone. We're also working on filling in the blanks and have started to answer many of the unanswered questions online in the Webmaster Help Group. You'll find the full (and just slightly cleaned up) questions and answers there as well.
I presented an overview of factors involved in personalized search at Google:
Maile gave a nice presentation of case sensitivity in web search in general:
The audio part of these presentations is in the audio transcript below. It also includes Jonathan's coverage of reasons why ranking may change, Wysz's presentation of ways to get URLs removed from our index, as well as everything else that happened on the phone! Enjoy :)

We hope to continue to improve on making these events useful to you, so don't forget to send us your feedback. We'll be back!

Here is a comment that I dont know where to put. I have tried many places and not really getting help.
Our site aperfectwife.com was hacked last friday and a virus installed on the index. This site ranks well in search engines and has been online many years without ever an issue. Google places a block on the site and tags search result as "this site may harm your pc" The virus was caught and issue taken care of the very next day. no how to unblock?? If that site was never set in webmaster central and never verified? It has been added to our dashboard and meta tags uploaded to server but google can't varify it with the block on it ???? What to do??? as each day passes years of hard work go down the drain.. if any one can assist please mail to admin at aperfectwife.com
Thank you in advance.
Hi 1mybird,
Having a malware label shouldn't prevent you from verifying your site in Webmaster Tools. Take a look at the specific error that you get when you try to verify, and then check out this help document to figure out how to fix it.
You could also post your site in our Webmaster Help Group for help.
You guys rock. 2nd live chat was great infact better than the first one. We didn't encounter any problems faced in 1st live chat in this current session. We are very impressed with Google and actually created some cartoons for Google's efforts.
Google leads the table in helping our webmasters
