if you haven't heard yet, google is majorly updating how its search works --- caffeine is just the code name they are using
it hasn't been launched officially but it can be downloaded for beta
anyways -- it appears that
1- it is faster
2- brings back more relevant info
3- will re-sort the results, which may affect people/seo and ultimately money
what is your opinion
Someone else posted on this earlier. My take?
1. It is faster. I'm so happy I only have to wait .12 of a second rather than .24 of a second for my search results.
2. It does bring back more info. I'm so happy to wade through 3,453,003 pages rather than 2,738,835.
3. Yes. Those who neglected keyword density in their content may suffer.
It'll all come around and change once again! Hakuna matata!
thanks for reply - I missed other post
I think it will be very interesting
what I understand is that twitter posts are coming in to some searches which is new
this should have all the scam-gurus running around for awhile --- it kinda makes me happy
Well, one of by hubs that is position 7 with a search term that supposedly gets a thousand searches per day will no longer be even in the top 50, but Google is lying out their ass about 1000 searches per day, so I guess it won't affect me...
If it somehow managed to actually reward quality content over manipulative crap to get on page one, I'd think it was great even if I never got another page view again.
I'm sure Hub Pages will benefit. Google only gets better at identifying quality content, so if you are posting good quality hubs, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

CNN just moved a story that Google announced yet another 'improvement' to searches. Knowledge Graph is supposed to think like a human and give you choices if you type in a word that can have several references.

Can somebody please explain what the Hell Google is pratting about at ? I have no idea what is going on or why... What I do know is that one minute I can use Google to search for things that I was actually looking for and now all I get is links to the Commercial World which is about as much use to...

I just modified the two recipe hubs I had to include the new recipe capsules, hoping they would look like all the other recipes that pop up in results, and maybe I have to wait a little bit of time, but...It only seems to show your picture in the search results if you have the image right at the...

Prompted by a comment in another thread, I thought it would be useful to perhaps slightly change the way that we commonly think about changes to hub scores, hubber scores and the like. Rather than see them as a judgement on us or our quality of writing, we can use these scores and other tools to...

I published a hub a about three weeks ago, titled: "Defining My Purpose on HubPages: Aftermath of My Wars on HubPages Forums". I've written and published one more hub after that (it's still undergoing the site's quality assessment process) and I'm planning to write more hubs.I...

Today we're changing the internal search engine on HubPages to run Google Custom Search. We know that search on HubPages didn't always work as intended, and we expect Google to ultimately provide more relevant results for both Hubbers and visitors using the site. The new search feature should not...
