Google has plans for major overhaul to search engine

    Over the next few months, Google's search engine will not just be showing our normal links that we are searching but it will also present more facts and direct answers to queries at the top of the search-results page. The changes to search are among the biggest in the company's history and could affect millions of websites that rely on Google's current page-ranking results.

    What are your thoughts on this?

    Google started killing sites with their rapid changes in Google Algorithm.. Then this update will be crushing most of the websites on the Internet...:(

    I disagree. People dumb enough to think grey areas like "article publishing" and "back-link generators" are going to help them long term probably don't have very useful websites. (Copied content, etc)

    Not all, but most.

    Edit: We're censoring b*cklinks now? Perhaps I've underestimated this forum.

    This should be in the front page on digitalpoint. It will affect all marketing. I just can not believe there are such little notice about this. Any more opinions?

    I'm not sure I can completely believe this. It might kill a certain why of optimizing a website, but there is no way that it could kill all of them. That would just be wrong and outrageous.

    now that google is no 1 in search, they want to maximize their revenue thru this, insted of people clicking on results they want people to click on ads or info provided by google products.
