Google Hummingbird Update - Any Changes ?
-
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?

Google Not Indexing App Content
Hello Mozzers I recently noticed that there has been an increase in crawl errors reported in Google Search console & Google has stopped indexing our app content. Could this be due to the fact that there is a mismatch between the host path name mentioned within the android deeplink (within the alternate tag) and the actual URL of the page. For instance on the following desktop page http://www.example.com.au/page-1 the android deeplink points to http://www.example.com.au/android-app://com.example/http/www.example.com.au/4652374 Please note that the content on both pages (desktop & android) is same.Is this is a correct setup or am I doing something wrong here? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

Dropped Out of Google and Bing
I am helping with a site that at one time I had on page 1 for Google/Bing. Site started to slip in rankings, then someone else did a makeover of the store and botched things by renaming pages, having errors in pages (multiple head/body), mismatch page names from sitemap, etc. Site slipped to page 4/5. I righted things, fixed duplication using canonicalization, made some other changes. Now site is gone completely from Google/Bing for desired keyword. No penalties. Site still shows if do search on domain name. Site is www.plussizeplum.com (plus size lingerie, sorry), keyword target is plus size lingerie. Anyone have any clues, tips, etc on why we fell off the face of the earth? Page Authority/Domain Authority are both comparable to most of the page 1/2 sites for same thing. Thanks for any advice.

Changing my url name? Should I do it?
Hi, I am targeting a brand called Creative Recreation, who are a trainers brand. We currently rank ok-ish for certain terms for Creative Recreation Trainers, Footwear and Creative Recreation [INSERT STYLE NAME HERE]. Our main search term I think we would like to improve on is "creative recreation trainers" as we are 6th for this. Our domain name points to the brands page as designerboutique-online.com/all-clothing/creative-recreation/ Now what I want to know is, would it be worthwhile or would it affect my current rank/index if I changed the end of that url to read /creative-recreation-trainers/ thus getting the keyword phrase in the url? Creative-Recreation is a hard one to crack as you have a lot of competition from the brands site etc.. Any ideas on this? Cheers Will
