What Google's Hummingbird Update Affects Websites



There’s no question that the Hummingbird algorithm is only the beginning of change in search optimization, but smart content creators can be prepared to thrive in this and any environment that may come in the future.
Hummingbird, which is the name of Google's latest search algorithm, is designed to provide web users with enhanced results. An algorithm refers to the way Google sorts through the millions of search results to provide only the most relevant ones. Hummingbird had already rolled out last month. 

Panda squashed bad content. Penguin froze low-quality links. And now, did Hummingbird eat link building?

Nothing has changed. If you have original, high-quality content, and you have high-quality and relevant websites linking to your own website, then your website is still going to rank well.

Many people have been upset by Panda and Penguin, and they’ll now see Hummingbird in a negative light. Don’t fall into that trap. If you’re the best at what you do, these updates Google has been continuing out are opportunities to separate yourself from your competition. They may have been engaging in spamming policy to get good SERP rankings, but if you’ve been focus on creating content that provides real value to possible trusted customers, their days are numbered. These changes will help you rise above, and the good news, as mentioned above, is if you’ve been doing the right things for your SEO you don’t need to change a thing.

Let’s get a look at what Hummingbird way for the prospect of link building.

In general, Hummingbird –‘Google says’ is a new engine built on both accessible and new parts, planned in a way to specially hand out the search load of today, rather than one created for the needs of ten years ago, with the technologies back then.

No. Link building is alive and well. But the description of link building sure does need to transform. As Will Critchlow from Distilled says, “Link building is a dreadful name for what we do.” And that is true for so many reasons.

SEOs used to be able to use links and other factors to scam Google into thoughts that their search website was more trustworthy and helpful than it actually was. Hummingbird once again makes the end user the unlimited focus of search results. We can’t scam Google anymore! Building links to less-than-amazing content will fail. Google will notice high bounce rates, the lack of natural social sharing, and a variety of other quality signals no matter how many links you build — maybe even faster with Hummingbird.

Have you seen any crash to your websites as an effect of the Hummingbird update? 

Do you see any details in the update you feel will give you a benefit?

Google webmasters is the same as always, I encourage original, high-quality content, since that’s what’s best for web users… Cheers!

Online Video Marketing Small Tips


Video optimization as part of your search engine optimization efforts can be a great way for you to expose your brand to users who may have otherwise not been familiar with your brand or your services. With the launch of Universal Search from Google, you can expect to see more and more video results occupying the search engine results that are served up by Google. Video optimization is becoming more important as mainstream aspect to search engine optimization.

We need some fresh videos regarding your services/tutorials (which may be slide show videos too) length 2 to 4 minutes. Make sure that your video clips are relevant and informative - ensure that your video provides useful and informative information. Videos that demonstrate step by step procedures are great, videos that express an opinion about a specific topic can be useful too. Videos that have nothing to do with your brand or service offering or are general or vague in nature will just confuse your audience. In order to take advantage of the opportunity that exists today with regard to online videos, we need to incorporate it ASAP.

If you can optimize with 3 to 5 videos in all, then I can assure you that you can generate more business and visitors as well. Moreover, since you will put them into the site as training videos, you can also expect an improvement in your brand exposure online!

Google Penguin: why did he found the high and dry?


He is black and white. His name starts with a P. You're more likely to encounter on the street than Google. No it is not the Panda but the Penguin Google.

On our screens since April 25 last, the arrival of the new algorithm Google is a little past unnoticed ... To believe that the penguin is less frightening than the panda. At Insitaction, we wanted to know why Google Penguin has so quickly found underwater.
Google Penguin: less frightening than the Panda?
For those not familiar, Google Penguin is the new Google algorithm . Its mission? Penalize (and kicked out of the ice) the Black hat , as the sites practices  SEO malicious. Why? To provide users with search results more relevant still.

If your site includes
·         of  irrelevant links (eg link "health insurance" in the blog Insitaction )
·         of backlinks purchased
·         too many backlinks with the same anchor (text description) ...
expect to see him lose places in the great Google ranking.
While its predecessor, Google Panda hunted duplicate content on the web, Google Penguin it deals mostly backlinks (links and false) .
Why Google Penguin has happened to the hatch?
Google Panda , everyone was talking about. All bloggers had feared. All web editors wanted to challenge him.  Google Penguin , it passes almost unnoticed. Why?

1. The updates to the Google algorithm have become so frequent that no one wants to talk. Knowing that there are a hundred a year, the topic quickly became tiresome (not to be vulgar). So bloggers are talking about only when the updates are really worth. Does  Google Penguin is not worth the trouble? Do not be so sure.

It's just that his time in France was less destructive than the passage of his predecessor Panda. In neighboring countries by cons, and particularly in England, some sites have not been able to stay long on the ice (in the top 10 Google ). Circulate a petition to England even for Google to reconsider its decision and cancels this last update.

2. Another idea: some bloggers like to say that the updates to Google's algorithm are merely ploys to highlight the site "partners" in Google and exclude others. Following the passage of Panda, some rumors even say that  Google is losing manually tickets to certain large sites to give more seats to their favorite sites, in the first pages. Considered by some as "subjective algorithms", why pay attention?

The guide of good SEO Google

To all those who do not want to rub Penguin , know that Google has posted the  guide of good SEO .

For Google there are two types of SEO: SEO good and bad SEO .
The good SEOs , the impeccable behavior, are called the "  White hat ". Bad, deviant, are called the "  Black hat ". Not to switch to the dark side of force, avoid:

·         the use of hidden links
·         the use of mirror sites
·         the hype of keywords
·         the duplication of content

And be sure to follow the law Google (see Manual of good SEO).
If despite this, your site is found still ejected from the ice, you can express your dismay at Google. It will reassess your position. If instead you realize that your neighbor, obscure practices, was not caught, you can terminate it via a platform created by Google (motto: "  Together fight the evil! ", the word betrayal is also acceptable).

Beneficial or not, the arrival of this new algorithm Penguin gives us just want to discover what the next furry companion of Google (and incidentally it will change on the canvas).
