Google Cafeine whats new ?

Google Caffeine is the name given to Google's next algorithm update that is going live after the holidays. It seems that Google Caffeine will be more than Google's regular updates. It will probably be a major overhaul of the calculations that Google uses to rank web pages.

Caffeine What is going to change?

Of course, Google hasn't revealed the details of Google Caffeine yet. However, the new index has been live on some test servers and some Google employees also talked about the next index. The following factors might play a larger role in Google's next index:

1. Website speed: if you have a slow loading website, it might not get high rankings on Google.

2. Broken links: if your website contains many broken links, this might have a negative impact of the position of your web pages in Google search results.

3. Bad neighborhoods: Linking to known spammers and getting a lot of links from known spammers isn't good for your rankings in Google's current algorithm. The negative impact of a bad neighborhood will probably be even worse with Google Caffeine.

4. The over-all quality of your website: Google's new algorithm probably will take a closer look at the over-all quality of your website. It's not enough to have one or two ranking factors in place.

5. You'll probably need good optimized content, a good website design with a clear navigation, good inbound links, a low bounce rate, etc. The number of social bookmarks might also play an increased role.

6. Factors like the age of a website, its past history, authority etc. will still play a role in Google's new index. However, the effect of the different factors on your rankings will shift.

How can you adjust your web pages to Google's new Caffeine index?

Although Google's Caffeine update hasn't been release yet, there are some things that you can do to increase the chances that your website will get good rankings in Google's new index:

1. Remove all spam elements from your web pages. Anything that might be considered spam can and will have a negative effect on the position of your web pages sooner or later. This includes text that has nearly the same color as the background, cloaking and fully automated linking systems.

2. Check your website design and the navigation of your website. Your website should have a professional look and feel. The navigation should be easy to understand and your web pages should easily be parseable by search engine spiders. You can test this with the search engine spider simulator in
3. Get links from social bookmark websites. Social bookmark links already play a role in Google's current algorithm and that role might increase.

4. Check your links. You shouldn't link to websites that look like spammers. It's better to focus on selected quality links instead of as many links as possible.

Google Caffeine is going to be released after the holidays. If you follow the tips above, your website will be in a good position when Google's new index will be online.

Once upon a time.....

Once upon a time there was one very hot-tempered and short-tempered young man. Then one day his father gave him a bag of nails and told every time he did not keep his anger to drive one nail into the fence post.

On the first day in the column were several dozen nails. The next week, he learned to restrain his anger, and with each passing day the number of nails hammered into pole began to decrease. The young man realized that it is easier to control his temper than to hammer nails.

Finally the day came when he never lost his composure. He told this to his father and he said that this time every day, when his son will be able to control himself, he can pull out from the column on the bottom nail.

Time passed, and the day came when he could tell his father that in a column not a single nail. Then the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence:

- Do a good job, but you see how many holes in a column? He will never be like before. When you tell people something evil, he remains as a scar, as these holes. And no matter how many times after that you're sorry - the scar remains.

Generating quality backlinks to your site

There are many ways of generating quality backlinks to your site without resorting to black hat methods. Some of these methods are ones that I have not personally tried, but that I know are extremely effective at generating links and traffic to a website:

• Press releases (Especially at one of the bigger PR sites: PRNewswire, PRWeb, MarketWire, Business Wire, etc-).

• Guest posting at other websites can send a ton of traffic to your site, not to mention give you a great backlink from a well-respected site.

• Write articles for eHow, Associated Content, or start a Squidoo lens that links back to your site.

• Become an active member of a forum and put a link to your site in your signature.

• Submit to social bookmarking sites, especially ones that offer do-follow links, such as Folkd.com. Just don't spam them!

• If you have a blog, submit it to BlogCatalog.com and you'll get a ton of free backlinks over time.

Toolbar page rank

Toolbar page rank is calculated using ranges of real page rank. For example, imagine that the maximum Google PR value is 1,000,000. Toolbar PR 1 equals a range of 1 - 10. Toolbar PR 2 equals a range of 10 - 50. Toolbar PR 3 equals a range of 50 to 1000. Toolbar PR 4 equals a range of 1000 - 10,000 and so on, until finally toolbar PR 9 ranges from 600,000 - 1,000,000.

Manual Google

If you read the above quotation carefully, you'll see that Google relies "heavily" but not fully on computer algorithms. In a recent interview, Google's Engineering director Scott Huffman explained that a lot of human reviewers (probably 10,000) manually review Google's results:

"Every day, we are looking at a random sample of grades that we think represent the queries we get from users. Evaluators look at the quality of each result relative to those queries."

Real people take a look at Google's search results and they tell Google which websites they don't like. If your website looks spammy, it might be reported to Google by these people.

What is "White Hat" Vs. "Black Hat"

The search engine optimization industry is often divided into two camps. "White Hat" SEO's attempt to work within the rules and goals of the search engines.

"Black Hat" SEO's try to gain rankings using whatever methods work best, often deliberately working against the interests of the search engines and their users. Automated software tools for "Black Hat" SEO have been around almost as long as search engines themselves. SEO Genie the first major software tool to automate "White Hat" search engine optimization.

The Time Has Come To Regulate Search Engine Marketing And SEO

The following post was written by a well known executive at one of the largest sites on the Internet. The author has requested to remain anonymous - not for dramatic effect, but because of the backlash he would receive from the SEO industry and possibly Google itself. He also doesn’t want his company associated with the post.

He is starting a discussion on the need for government regulation of the organic and paid search policies of Google, which maintains a commanding lead in search market share today. Or at least transparency in how search results are determined. There is clearly growing frustration on the constantly changing “border policies” that are created and enforced by Google and other search engines. It is a fascinating read..... Read The Full
