Thread: Google is going to change it's algorithm.

Are you from SEO professional of doing SEO for your website? Then an news from the Google is they are changing their algorithm. They are going to put more weight on content. For more information you can read the official blog from the Google

Its called the Google Farmer update, its looking to reduce the frequency of Content Farms and Article Directories in the 1st page SERPS.

Google has said their spam “search and destroy” team led by Matt Cutts, one of the original Google search engine algorithm engineers from the company’s launch in the late 90’s, changes the way the engine ranks search results as many as 500 times a year. But almost never do I remember an algorithm change creating such havoc as the most recent one did in February.

In the latest algorithm change, Google hoped to protect high-quality, hand-written content sites that are well maintained and updated regularly, and crush so-called “content farms”, sites with low-quality articles and blog posts that are aggregated or closely spun from existing content on the web.

While webmasters and business owners all over the country are complaining that their traffic and placement in search engine results pages got whacked, I’ve got to say, I’m pretty pleased. Not only have none of my client’s sites been affected by the algorithm change (including my own), but this most recent change could actually be a boost to my business.

The reason is because of the product and service I provide. I’m a freelance writer and journalist, and I make my living off of providing websites with high-quality, well researched and well written original content for their blogs, article directories, wikis, and pages. The result is a boost in the client site’s overall SEO visibility, because Google and other search engines reward sites that are well written and regularly maintained.

Great move from Google for the high quality website in the search and more helpful for the users to see the quality websites more in the results.

I've heard about this so many time and indeed google put weigh on contents now,the more you update your content the higher you get the chance to be on top.

It looks like good changes are going to happen in Google's algorithm. But it can affect the SEO process we will come to know in future.

It has already started affecting many sites including ezinearticles and articlebase. And i think change is constant in every field and so in google algorithm.

Finally Google is rewarding original content websites.

This is definitely an encouraging move by google for Bloggers and article writers. I highly appreciate google's changes and to support ethical SEO techniques.

Google is always changing its algorith.....thats good ! It keeps things fresh and all of us webmasters thinking whats next - Another thing it stops big business ruling the web and gives us little guys a fair chance.

Google are constantly changing their algos, they claimed to make 400 changes last year alone.
