Wow – looks like internet searching just took a shot of adrenaline. Looking forward to easier, more relevant results when I search.

This is a fact we can recordnize the last years, this is not a new trend, but we have to controle the database, if it is right that the users use much words for search. In the example obove you use 10 WORDS, so the question is open, if the most users use one, two or there words OR they uses sentences like the example and so the result is an average of the search numbers. So the database-result is in the middle and this is than only a part of the truth. So maybe it is more different.

I will implement this today!

Great and sad. Interesting and scary as all major changes. It was a great video with lots of information and ideas as to what to don next on the SEO frontline.

It becomes more and more difficult to compete, because we won’t know how our competision is doing, but we will know more accurately how we are doing, and why.

Great article. thanks.

The Q&A sites are a good thing providing they are moderated well, I’ve seen a number a cases where the sites have been misused resulting in poor, misleading or immature content being displayed. Unfortunately this is a battle that will always exist.

Time will tell no doubt but I for one am not that excited by these types of changes.

Geo targeting for me is a nightmare! Changing my pages and google results into Spanish just because i live in Spain is a constant bug bear as it is, now they are going to tell me what Im searching for by using this information even more? Crazy. Even more crazy when 90% of domains are actually hosted in USA. I dont look forward to the days I rank only in a certain state in America for researchers only.

Most good quality websites that sell products or services even, have learnt that creating good content helps the sales. In essence then we are all shopping sites even if we are loaded with research. Why on earth would you want to seperate these websites into seperate category results?

Is the next stage going to be that we have to select what hat we are wearing today, be it traveler hat or learning hat or business hat? What if they are intertwined? Most businesses cross into different sectors. Will searchers or researchers start having to hide there ip’s or changing their profile somehow every time they make a search? Seems quite obvious that they would.

Sorry Google but my intent and profile of each search I make is multi dimensional. I want to see all results for a term so that I can smile at, moan at, research and shop at, interact with or get instant answers on (which unfortunately causes a high bounce rate if an answer is there immediately, in itself making it a risky assessment angle – ‘dictionary’ websites for example must have the worst bounce rates going, 5 seconds, got my answer, ty, goodbye.)

Dont get excited yet, as I say, Time will Tell whether this works or whether we are all back with ‘live’ in another year or so.

We are in the stages of re doing our FAQ pages to be more in tune with what our customers are asking questions about our products. Sounds like this would be better done sooner rather than later and may help our our rankings!

Sounds like a few search eggheads have been slurping the Dumpster Runoff liquid from up the road at Ebay. They broke that search pretty quick and it seems to me like the whole lot turned up on the Google doorstep looking for work. Thank God for non-competes, it means we still have a year before the REAL insanity starts… Page ran dead?? Don’t you believe a word of it.

‘Relevancy’ as described above is entirely subjective and requires some type of centralized control. I cringe at the very mention. While page rank can be manipulated, it is still pretty hard to bribe the model outright. The new model OTOH sounds ripe for a hijacking.

Google are the Internet Good Guys. I truly hope they don’t get co-opted by the same infantile clowns that have been screwing up a good thing everywhere else.

Place a FAQ page is not only great for your viewers, but also your ranking. However, I would think you would obviously need new keywords here for this to be effective.

For example, we develop Electronic Business Cards for companies. Now, we have optimized for many of the words related to this marketing tool including how companies have achieved outstanding response rates, how they can use them in place of marketing personnel, benefits, costs, etc. So, an FAQ would need to be keywords not already mentioned on other pages.

Just a thought,
