How do webmasters react from this update? Any adjustments should be make by the seo experts, website owners and bloggers for humming bird?

 

Google Hummingbird is a search algorithm used by Google. Google started using Hummingbird about August 30, 2013, and announced the change on September 26 on the eve of the company's 15th anniversary. Gianluca Fiorelli said Hummingbird is about synonyms but also about context.

 

It's just another of Google's pets...

 

Google Hummingbird algorithm was introduced to improve the search quality for users. It has the ability to quickly analyze longer and complex questions and provide the best answer to the user with few clicks.

 

There is no real "reaction" needed from webmasters as Hummingbird, unlike Panda and Penguin, is not a penalizing algorithm. Its aim is to improve semantics and give more weight to conversational searches, opposing the keyworded searches of the past. The only "adjustments" you need to make is to just continue following proper SEO guidelines, avoid Black Hat methods and be useful/relevant for your visitors.

 

Apparently, Hummingbird is just the realization of Latent Semantic Indexing.
Texts that focus only on the keywords now work much worse.

Sonu, you're wrong about that I'm afraid. Humming bird looks at the language one your site and tries to match ti to searcher intent. A big part of this is the use of semantic keywords.
Panda is the one that looks at the quality of your site and considers duplicate content.

The good news about the Humming bird algorithm is that is your website is well put together and is written with the customer in mind Google will actually boost you in search rankings.

 

Humming bird based on all the webmater post is an update for ecommerce websites. around 70% of ecom sites are hit with unnatural links built to them. This is a long wait in the making cause most ecom sites were never hit by panda /penguin and has been used by havocs to hide within the wrath of google updates.

 

Hummingbird algo makes search history, social signals, related searches for people, places, events, and such influence your search results.

 

Hummingbird for first timer is for bird-watchers.
Seriously, it is a new, revamped search algorithm of Google. Matt Cutts (aka Google expert) said that it would affect 90% of all searches.

 

The new G Hummingbird is so smart that it would and could determine if your site really is high quality or not.
