Of course they would tweak their algorithm so as to better serve their clients, the searchers. So I expect those parts of webpages which are so abused by spammers would be given less weight.
Google has now evolved to branding. I have been writing about search engine news everyday and there's this rumor of changing the algorithm allowing the larger, more respected brands to hit the charts. Some say it is because of Google's promotion of its upcoming TV and Radio Ads. With a focus on branding, people will use it more. Now all of us should work to be authorities on our niches rather than putting up crap keywords just to make the rankings
maybe google changes serp of your websites. It is making your website dance but it's not dancing himself.
Google isn't gona throw out all the techniques we have been using over the past years, so just keep doing what you're doing...which should be building quality sites with unique content! ...And focus on conversion rates as opposed to keyword positioning!
Honestly .... Forget about everything except link quality and placement. Social media is primarily good for traffic not linkage. Stay with something more in your own control makes life much less stressfull. Cheers, Aphp
well, I think nowadays it's important to have good content, good traffic, and backlinks. to be on google's high page ( first page)
There are still 3 basic components to the Google algo: 1) Title Tags --- most important of the metas, it should be brief (under 80 characters) and your best KW in front. 2) Content --- your KW should be present in the content, no less than 5% and no more than 15%. 3) Backlinks --- have links coming from high PR "authority" sites in your niche (sites with same KW). If you have those 3 items covered.....you WILL rank in the Top Three non-sponsored for your site's KW phrases.
Now a days google is giving less priority to Meta tags,keywords . Best thing is write an proper and informative content by using specific keywords
