● By HummingBird update 2013, Google is using SSL encryption
search result both for signed in, not signed in users.
● With further updates, search engine got better understanding of
the concepts of human being language, rather then few scattered
words i.e. “human friendly” searches than ever.
● This gave better handle for “conversational” search queries.
ex: “golden gate pictures”
“give me some pictures of the golden gate pictures”
● With increase in smartphone & tablet use, 2014 will be year of
mobile SEO. Websites mobile performance matters for SEO
ranking.
