It sounded huge. Angered by Google expanding the use of social profile information in advertising, Google+ users were changing their profile pictures to that of Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt in protest.

The ROI on blogging is minimal, for now. I suspect an app that can aggregate blogging would be more valuable to me at this point in the twitterverse world.

The Hummingbird Google search algorithm isn't about long tail search. It's entirely the opposite. Hummingbird is about taking long-tail, highly unusual and verbose searches, and serving them results as if they were clear short-phrase searches. Via Robin Good

Excellent article by Ammon Johns explaining clearly what the new Google algorithm Hummingbird does and how it really affects the world of search. Contrary to what has been written by many, Hummingbird changes deeply how Google interprets search queries, especially, long, detailed ones, not the search results directly. This is also why no-one has really seen major changes to web site traffic after Google has introduced the new algo quietly in August. In simple words, what Google Hummingbird does, in the words of Ammon Johns is: "...making the very concept of many long-tail searches go the same way as referral data. Google is trying to get away from exact wording to understanding the concepts. So no matter how verbose or roundabout your search for pizza restaurant in Denver may be, the search it runs is exactly the same as “Denver Pizza Restaurant”, “Pizza Restaurant Denver”, etc." Read the full article and the examples provided and you will get a good gist of it. Very interesting. Useful. 8/10 Read the full article here: http://www.isoosi.com/blog/hummingbird-the-opposite-of-long-tail-search.html

This is not another post about Penguin or Panda updates. There are blogs out there covering Google updates with much more authority and skill. It would be a waste of our time to copy them.
Instead I’d like to help you secure PageRank you’ve built by adding lines of defense to your blogging fortress. If you’ve got something good going with Google organic Search, even if you don’t care much for SEO, it’s time to protecting yourself against risks.
