Google is changing... or is it?

Google is to release a new version of its search engine in due course...

Will this trigger a huge change on SEO?

Opinions?

Not checked your link...but it probably refers to caffine.

Thank God.

Yes...everything changes. But naturally not if you do things properly.

Will be interesting to see how well the launch goes but im not looking forward to it

I don't think there are going to be any noticeable changes. They had a public test caffine link sometime ago so you could go and test search terms .. so i didnt really notice any huge difference.

You can compare the differences between the current and new results here.

Google have small-large shake ups relatively regularly. So long as you can get some strong backbone links in you should shouldn't have issues and maybe improve your positions. My rankings seem to be improved in caffine. I guess patience can pay off

From what I understand, they are competing against "real time" networks...facebook, twitter and are trying to be less historic and more current.

They are troubled. Marketing Difference told me about Google advertising Adwords on Facebook. I found that very interesting.

Yeah Caffeine is meant to not affect rankings in much of a way, and I can't see the algorithm changing enough to learn newer techniques.

Good spot - "traditional" search engines need to be wary, so that's why they've moved to eventually include Twitter and Facebook results in their search results.

Bing set the ball rolling by including Tweets and they also struck a deal with Facebook - the logistics have yet to be worked out.

Since Facebook acquired FriendFeed, there is a real sense they wanna chime in on the search market, and with Twitter search too, this is a whole new search engine war - Real time V Traditional

There deserves to be a place for both.

Oh and Google have a secret weapon - YouTube is the 3rd largest search engine at the moment
