-
Google has update with the new alogrithm and did you see any effects and as they are not revelaing the techinicaly how they work ?
What's your opinion ?
-
Good article. Thanks for posting
I need to read some more on it.
I wondered how the refinement might influence the Title content.
I don't typically include "buy" in the title but I've got to look at our serps and re-think this.
-
phew I haven't been effected however Chris has posted some interesting results showing the hummingbird impact on search results.
-
Sorry... I thought that you were telling me off lol!
I'm glad that I have answered your question.
-
I'm curious if/how this will affect how many keywords to put in the title tag (for ecommerce - catetories and product names/titles).
If its related primarily to conversational search it sounds like something I won't be sweating.

Sorry, I'm not following you here.
I replied to the initial question:
"Google has update with the new alogrithm and did you see any effects and as they are not revelaing the techinicaly how they work ?
What's your opinion ?"
At least that's what I thought I was doing, but I am new to Moz, so could be wrong!
-
You answered my question so it didn't seem dated to me.
-
Sorry AWCthreads, I didn't realise that you had already covered that... Unfortunately I didn't see your post at the time of writing and I wouldn't want folks thinking I just copied you lol.
I started writing my post about an hour ago and got distracted before coming back to it.

Related to conversational search. Good to know.
Thanks David.

Although a lot of SEOs and Marketers are only hearing about Hummingbird for the first time this week, it has been running as the new "Engine" for around a month or so.
Google’s saying there’s nothing for SEOs or publishers worry about as there's no need for us to change what we're doing. Given that there hasn't been a marked shift in rankings over the last month (certainly not on the same scale as with Penguin, Panda or Caffeine updates were rolled out anyway), it's suggested that Hummingbird isn't something to fear.
From what I can gather, it is an added level of intelligence which has been plugged into Google Search in order to improve long tail search results and results for Conversational Search.
Anyway, I hope that my reply is helpful!

Two primary areas of focus for Hummingbird:
1. Better results for longer tail keyword inquiries
2. Voice command results
The public is becoming more seasoned at search as the years go by so they are comfortable adding more terms to their search.
IMO, social has also helped educate internet users for specificity: @xyz or .com/xyz etc. We're actually telling people what to enter after a hash-tag. Unthinkable a few years ago.
I'm curious if/how this will affect how many keywords to put in the title tag (for ecommerce - catetories and product names/titles).

Yes, they rolled it out a month ago. http://searchengineland.com/google-hummingbird-172816
I think the consensus is nothing much has changed on our end. That's certainly what I'm seeing.
This is more of a their-end overhaul from what I understand.

Have they rolled our the new algo?

Brand on Google Knowledge Panel
Hi, I have a question that maybe someone can give me some insight, as I haven't been able to get any kind of solution by Google My Business support so far for several months. Our brand "neakriti" is a news organization located in Greece. If you search the brand "neakriti", you get all the results as normal, but the "Knowledge Panel" on the right of the search appears empty. However, if you search the brand as "neakriti.gr" on google search, it appears on the Knowledge Panel. I have been talking about this on the phone support of Google My Business for months now (more than a year), and I get responses like, "give it some more time and it will appear on neakriti results too". We are authority for the keyword "neakriti", and it is our site that appears first. Our website is linked to the business profile too. I have claimed the business, I have filled all its information, with daily posts specifically for the knowledge panel and so on. Is there any suggestion as to why we are unable to show up with just the brand name on the knowledge panel, or suggestions for actions we can possibly take?

I would like to see what are the pages indexed. www pages, and subdomain pages should only make up 7,000 but search results are 23,000. I would like to see what the others are in the 23,000. Any advice how to go about this? I can individually check subdomains site:www.company.com and site:static.company.com, but I don't know all the subdomains. Anyone cracked this? I tried using a scrapper tool but it was only able to retrieve 200.

How does google count a menu on each page
Hello, Just wondering how google treats the TOp and bottom menu that you see on each page of a website ? Does it count it on all the pages in terms of link juice, or is it just there for user experience and only what it counts are the links in the content of a page or on the side ? Thank you,

Changing Servers + Effect on SEO
Hi, I am currently with a very slow server. Our website takes quite a while to load, FTP is very slow and content changes with Wordpress are slow because even the database connection takes a lot of time. However, my website ranks very well. Traffic has doubled in the last year. Our domain has been registered with this company for over 10 years. I am wondering if changing to a different hosting provider would have an effect on my rankings due to the change in IP.
