Google is probably making one of its biggest moves of the year to ensure that its search results do not contain low quality articles from content farms. Google has announced that it will be making a big adjustment in terms of search algorithms so as to reduce the rankings of these low quality sites. Its aim is to provide high ranking for those sites that contain original information and content, and even those sites that contain detailed reports, research and analysis. These changes will reportedly impact nearly 11.8% of the search queries it receives. However, Google does not specifically say that content farms are the main target, but it does mention that it will be penalizing all the low quality sites. Low quality sites can be defined as any site that provides low value information to users, or sites that copy content from other sites, and sites that are not at all useful. However, Google has also specifically referred to such low quality sites as content farms in the past. Nearly a...

As recently as last week, it was J.C. Penny who was making headlines for falling drastically in Google’s rankings for nearly every area from curtains to area rugs. It turned out that the retail site had a number of suspicious looking links pointing towards it and that could all be traced back to a paid link network, which intended to manipulate the ranking algorithms set by Google. In order to protect their unpaid search goal, Google provides some of the most relevant results for browsers. This is why Google has begun hunting down these types of manipulations and knocks down the rankings of the sites belonging to the guilty parties. After the J.C. Penney case, then came the Forbes.com case. Forbes ran afoul in Google’s eyes with regards to the guidelines. Forbes was found to be selling links on their site in order to manipulate the PageRanks. Now, in a recent announcement, it was found that Overstock.com also has lost out on rankings for using other types of links that Google views as ...

If you are great at creating infographics, then Google’s latest contest should interest you! Google has recently announced that it will be offering $5,000 to the winner of its Data Viz Challenge, which is basically a contest to find the best person who can offer the best visualization of data about where exactly your tax money goes. The contest was announced today and is largely based on a website called www.whatwepayfor.com, which was started by Andrew Johnson and Lewis Garcia, two developers. Impressed with this website, Google’s staff came up with an idea of having their own “interactive data visualization” or simply, infographics. However, infographics does have its own set of limitations. So, taking up this challenge, Google has teamed up with Eyebeam, a non-profit art and technology center. Those who are interested can participate in this competition.

Trustworthy reports have shown that Google has rolled out a new navigation bar to the public after nearly 6 months of rigorous testing. This navigation bar could help improve the overall efficiency of the news content marketing services, as it helps to move relevant articles higher up in the search engine rankings, which in turn leads to increased traffic, increased sales and increased effectiveness of the search engine optimization techniques. This navigation bar is shorter than the one before and has more graphics and color in its interface. It also helps to efficiently remove clutter by grouping all the extra links in a menu. The bar has reportedly been inspire by Google Chrome and also helps by removing link underlining and replaces it with a colored bar that allows for more spacing between the links. What’s more, the site also boasts of having an extra gear icon that provides more options and preferences for the user accounts. Google has tested the new navigation top bar last week...

Google has recently announced that its latest search engine would integrate more with social media, and has done so without even mentioning Facebook in the entire blog post! This comes as a major contrast to Microsoft’s announcement of the current Bing browser. This failing to mention Facebook on the part of Google comes as an irony to the previous claim made by Google about how its social search results are “comprehensive”. Of course the announcement did mention Twitter, YouTube and Flickr, but the announcement also kept using the sentence “and other sites” as a way to refer to and dismiss Facebook. What’s more ironical it seems is Google’s assertion about how it has given users more control on how they connect accounts, and how they have made connecting accounts a lot more convenient. Unless the search giant has changed its mind about inoperability with Facebook, you should try importing your Gmail address onto the social networking site, or perhaps vice versa. So what do you have to...

In its struggles to root out low-quality web pages and sites from its search results, Google has begun to resort to its own users in an attempt to fight spam online. The search engine giant has recently released an extension for its Google Chrome browser, which allows users to block certain sites in Google’s search result by simply clicking on a block button. The main idea behind this is that if a user comes across a particular low-quality site through Google, he or she can inform Google about this site by blocking it, and the site won’t show up again. When quite a sufficient amount of users block a single site, Google will finally deduce that the site in question is really a low-quality site and will permanently remove it from the search results. And as good a solution as this may be to root out low-quality websites; it can also have an unexpected side effect. It could lead to users indulging in highly biased opinions with regards to sites. This in turn transforms Google from an unbia...

Recently, J.C. Penney was caught in the middle of a highly manipulative search engine campaign, and Google definitely isn’t excited about this news. Yes, Google has recently cracked down on what is considered to be one of the biggest search engine ranking frauds today. While such stories aren’t essentially rare, especially when we’re talking about spamming tactics, one would expect such stunts to come from smaller and lesser known companies. But the accused party in this case is none other than retail giant – J.C. Penney! According to a recent article in the New York Times, people started getting very suspicious when it was revealed that J.C. Penney was the number 1 result for a wide variety of searches; including some searches that people wouldn’t even associate with the company! Since then, the Times requested Doug Pierce, the online search expert from Blue Fountain Media to help them understand how this could be possible, and the man came up with enough evidence to really upset Goog...

To commemorate the world-renowned scientist, Thomas Edison, Google’s latest doodle reminds us that it is indeed his 164th birthday today! With its creatively animated logo, Google’s doodle aims to remind people from all over the world that it is the American inventor’s birthday today!

Google’s doodles are a way to commemorate cultural, regional and scientific events that are important. Today’s doodle honors the most famous invention by Thomas Edison – the electric light bulb. The light bulb was first invented in 1879 by Edison, who wasn’t the only person attempting to invent an incandescent light bulb.

The doodle however, is less flashy as compared to the Pac Man anniversary, the HTML5 bouncing ...

There’s been a lot of talk doing its rounds with regards to the possible sale of Twitter. With such exceptional news reaching us today, many individuals involved in the talks have said that the sale could possibly be valued at $10 billion or more! According to some “very reliable” reports, Google and Facebook have apparently sent out executives to engage in “low level” talks with Twitter. The discussions between the various parties have estimated the value of Twitter somewhere around $8 to $10 billion. But until the matter has been finalized, it wouldn’t be prudent to get your hopes too high, because according to some sources, the talks are apparently not going to get anywhere anytime soon. Is it possible that Twitter feels that the $10 billion value is a little too low? However, in the midst of all this, Twitter seems to be getting a lot of attention, which of course works in favor of its business. Recently, the company set an all-time record for the highest number of tweets recorded ...

On an average, mobile searches are said to increase by nearly 50 times if a user shits over to a Smartphone device. This week Google is looking to make good on its promise. Karim Temsamani, the new head of mobile advertising, has recently given a number of interviews and written on the Google blog in an attempt to promote mobile advertising.

Such ads have been reported to get an average of 11.5 percent increase in click-through rates. Simply put, peop...

The introduction to Google Instant search has not changed search engine optimization. This interpretation was made by Jake Hird who is a senior research analyst at Econsultancy. Econsultancy is a digital marketing community. Hird believes that Google Instant was introduced for improving user experience, not altering the algorithm for listing pages. This essentially means that companies can maintain their methods for promoting their online business. Also, they can continue placing their keywords in stories in order to make them more relevant to the web browsers. Google, the search engine giant, completely dominates the search engine market. A study, carried out earlier this month, revealed that more than 66.6 per cent of all the searches that are conducted on the World Wide Web were done through Google in the month of December. According to Hird, extremely little has changed in the search engine optimization world after the introduction of Google Instant. “We just put out our SEO [searc...
