“My vision when we
started Google 15 years
ago was that eventually
you wouldn't have to
have a search query at all.
You'd just have information
come to you as you needed it.”
Sergey Brin, TED Talk, February 2013

"Google Plus gives
you the opportunity
to be yourself, and
gives Google that
common understanding of who
you are."

"Within search results, information tied
to verified online profiles will be ranked
higher than content without such
verification, which will result in most
users naturally clicking on the top
(verified) results. The true cost of
remaining anonymous, then, might be irrelevance."

Eric Schmidt, March 2013

noticeable to other SEOs.”

Build a Brand
“Search used to be where the playing field was
level ... those days are over. You need to build
a brand. This is the single most important and
single most difficult task that has been added
to the SEO agenda over the last few years.”

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Targeted content farms – churning out low quality articles. Some sites producing 7,000 articles per day!
  2. “How to Play the Xylophone”
  3. “How to Bathe a Small Rodent”
  4. Spammy blog comments are one example
  5. The meaning behind the words….
  6. “stindy” becomes a search for streets in Indianapolis
  7. Google understanding the concept better – not about keywords, about meaning
  8. Exact match domains – low quality
  9. Pirate Update
  10. Page Layout algo update
  11. Don’t spam your Schema markup
  12. Several link networks busted – US, France, Germany
  13. Guest Blogging for SEO purposes
  14. Several link networks busted – Poland, US, France, Germany
  15. Before we talk about the evolution of SEO, we have to talk about how search has evolved.
  16. Desktop search – still most common place we search
  17. Tablets and smartphones
  18. Searchingin apps
  19. Google Goggles – shoot a photo to searchBing also has some similar image-as-query tools.
  20. Not just voice, but conversational search
  21. Searching via Xbox
  22. Search via Google Glass
  23. Sherwin Williams Colorsnap app
  24. Bing, too… including tweets
  25. That’s how we’ve evolved. Let’s look at how search results have evolved, too.
  26. Personalization
  27. Personalization
  28. Eli Parisier “The Filter Bubble”
  29. Eli Parisier “The Filter Bubble”
  30. Bing’s identity is mainly tied to social networks for now.
  31. Google MUCH more into identity, via Google+.
  32. Google MUCH more into identity, via Google+.
  33. Not just for individuals, but businesses, too. **Google is rewarding people and businesses that share their identity via Google+.**
  34. All those slides about Google penalties and algorithm updates? If it’s obvious that you’re doing SEO, you may have a problem.
  35. Level- balance and moderation
  36. Ballerina slippers- delicate
  37. Palette- paintbrush not hammer
  38. Scalpel- precision
  39. Google has human quality raters….140-page guide
  40. Everybody talks about “creating relevant content” but that’s not what Google is looking for
  41. Back to the “vital” point for a moment…
  42. Google loves brands … consumers do, too
  43. Survey in NovemberTop thing consumers look for in product search is a known brand
  44. Be invisible. Be vital. Be a brand.
