Well it’s about time for the changes. The most important thing is to find what you need fast and easy and google is doing everything to provide this service.
That’s totally silly when “seo experts” are going all around the net dropping spam links.

Content is definitely king but it always helps to be popular too! I gave up on Searchwiki after about 5 minutes as I found it to be a waste of time. I don’t imagine I am alone in that?

by chance what is the ratio of Universal search to normal search weighting? Anyone have a guess on that? When I put pen to paper, I think it’s about equal, but not sure.

yeah one of the big changes that Google seems of introduced is the way they treat brands. It seems to be making it much harder for smaller companies to rank well.
At least the brand algorithm change hasn’t come over to the UK yet!

Interesting read, but how much of this is speculation driven by techies wanting this change? I have to think that Google can’t fundamentally change the nature of search on a dime, it’s got to be something introduced gradually. Otherwise, there would be too much chaos, and in this economic climate more chaos is not needed.

Im all for the changes as I think google ranks alot of junk and old pages at the moment, for example, last week i wanted to buy anew TV, i wanted to know do I buy a plasma or LCD, google showed me a review from 2003 as its no 1 ranking page !

Google is just trying to maintain their reputation for returning pertinent results (which is what helped to make them what they are). They just keep adjusting, moving the target to keep the content field level. It’s the “gaming the system” by others that brings the new challenges to everyone else.

Scary times ahead for SEO professionals and website masters, time to rethink

Its very daunting all these new changes for a website owner like me. As my rankings have just gone from page 1 to page 6 and i have no idea why, most probably to do with all the new changes going on. Im quite interested to learn more about if having a video on your site will help rankings as i now know that youtube scan the content of all their new videos that are added, so im now thinking google will start doing the same and picking up on the content within the video and picking up on keywords which will be interesting.

Google updates will be a determining factor on how we do SEO.

Google Ranking changes or we can say improves year by year. So, what is new in it?
I think the new thing is “SearchWiki”. If it becomes popular rapidly, then we are going to see dramatic changes in Google Ranking. And, as a smart seo, I shouldn’t look at SERPs. It is true. But when you have client who does not know anything about seo,what will you do?. Clients only need results. Yeah Conversations and good, targeted traffic is most important. But Google does not put them in top ten or twenty or does not give them good PR, they start thinking that we, seo people, are not working good enough. And I think that’s the problem, lots of small seo companies facing now a days.

@Linkbuilden: Content is getting Bigger then King. You will see that incoming links will not have that much impact on your Google rankings anymore.
It is still a valid choice on Yahoo which Results are largely build on incoming links.

In my opion Google will be using the “ratings” that their users will give on a specific search results.

Just as RSS Feed subscribers will be of influence of the rankings.
So poularity of your page is a true factor, but it is not going to be based any longer by just the number of links that are coming into the site.

Yes, well sure content is King, but isn’t it true that also popularity of your page is very important. I mean, on a competative word, the battle on toppositions can be very hard. If searchengines think of you page as important, your ranking will be better as site which have their content optimized just as good or even better than yours.
