Google Caffine Update – What does it mean to You?
| Hot: |  | | |  | |
I have been reading a lot about the “Google Caffeine” update that will be taking place soon after the holiday season. We receive a majority of our traffic from Google so I have been reading up on this and what is going to be changing in the “Search Algorithm”. It sounds like the interface will not be changing, this update is primarily under the hood: Google is rewriting the foundation of some of its infrastructure. If this pans out well, it is intended to replace Google as we know it today. It seems like Google’s goal is to be more thorough and comprehensive in their crawling of the web. Vanessa Fox reported the following, over at SearchEngineLand: “The newest infrastructure may include ways of crawling the web more comprehensively, determining reputation and authority (possibly beyond the link graph and what’s typically thought of as PageRank), and returning more relevant results more quickly, although Google’s Matt Cutts told me that the changes are “primarily in how we index”.
Impact on keywords: “SEO professionals, your job just got a lot harder. The algorithm’s definitely different. It has more reliance on keyword strings to produce better results.” Quote from Ben Parr over at mashable.com.
