Heard the news about the new Google search engine, called Google Caffeine?
This is what Google announced recently:
“For the last several months, a large team of Googlers has been working on a secret project: a next-generation architecture for Google’s web search. It’s the first step in a process that will let us push the envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness and other dimensions. The new infrastructure sits “under the hood” of Google’s search engine, which means that most users won’t notice a difference in search results. But web developers and power searchers might notice a few differences, so we’re opening up a web developer preview to collect feedback.”
So the new Google will be faster and more accurate.
Faster is easier to explain. Basically performing a search will be quicker.
More accurate?
What does that mean?
The number of sites that Google says are using the same keyword phrase will be more accurate?
The websites in the top 10 returns will be more accurate?
You can ‘play’ and compare the current and the new Google here:
CompareCaffeine.com
I compared some of the keyword phrases I use in my blogs. Here’s the before and after images…
For the keyword phrase, “blog income”:
WeBuildYourBlog in the current Google is in position 3 (out of 65.5m)
And in Google Caffeine, in position: 3 (out of 50.4m)
So no difference to my position but you can see there is a marked difference in the number of sites that Google thinks uses the phrase “blog income” and it was almost 66% faster.
Back on 5 August, WeBuildYourBlog.com was in position 5 for the phrase “blog income”, so my backlink strategy is working.
Another comparison for the phrase “Article writing service” and one of my other sites, www.thedigitalarchives.com
Current Google is in position 4 (out of 70.9m)
Google Caffeine, in position: 3 (out of 16.5m)
Again, notice the difference is speed of return of the results.
Back on August 3, theDigitalArchives.com was in position 6 for the phrase “article writing service”
So, just a quick comparison and the sites and keyword phrases I checked are no worse off and one was actually better.
I’m sure there are many more changes to be applied before Google Caffeine becomes the new Google standard but at least they are being upfront and telling us about their plans.
Andrew is an asset to our ongoing website and social media needs. He responds quickly, accurately, and cost effectively. Andrew plays a consultative role in many aspects to our online needs.
Andrew
has extensive knowledge about internet marketing, SEO and building web
sites/blogs. His course explained everything in an easy to understand
way and I now have a web site that is generating me new clients and
producing income from internet product sales.
The
end result is a fantastic site that is attracting a lot more attention
and visitors than my old one.
I have been online since 1996 and in that time I have been involved in the development of almost 400 web sites for my clients. I have worked with a wide variety of vendors and I have to tell you that Andrew @ We Build Your Blog has far exceeded my expectations. In addition to his vast knowledge and expertise, he is a genuinely great guy, who always goes the extra mile. I highly recommend him, in fact I only recommend him now for web development.
Andrew
at WeBuildYourBlog.com is the most responsive and flexible person
I've worked with.
I
am very happy to provide a testimonial for Andrew Rondeau. All the parts of
the process of working with Andrew were a pleasure. He clarified what I was
wanting and he delivered it without fuss. He was courteous and prompt in all
his dealings with me. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to anyone
who wants work done on their blog.
I happened to stumble upon Andrew's website (WeBuildYourBlog.com) while searching for blogging services that would help me start my very own blog. I was a total newbie when it came to the blogging world. Fast forward 3 months and not only do I have my own awesome blog, but friends and family are actually asking me how to start their own blog and I am able to set their blogs up for them! In only 3 months under Andrew's guidance I went from total newbie to being sought after. Thanks Andrew!
I
approached Andrew in February 2010, because I needed to enhance the way I communicated
my business. 
I was introduced to Andrew by a dear friend Corinne Edwards and Andrew as transformed by blog in ways that have reaped results. My membership has gone up and my blog always looks clean and easy to read. Whenever I send Andrew a request to check out - it's ALWAYS prompt and easy to understand. In my humble opinion he is the BEST when it comes to knowledge of the blogging world.
Andrew is highly knowledgeable about blogs and very customer service focused. I knew nothing about blogs and Andrew was very kind, patient, pleasant to work with, receptive and responsive. Work was delivered in timely manner and if I need anything done for blog again I would use Andrew. If you are looking for quality work, excellent customer service and someone that really gets YOU and your needs, I recommend Andrew!.
Having worked with Andrew on and off over the last year, I have found him to be very patient, helpful and easy to work with. He is also very knowledgeable, supportive and a true expert.
Andrew was kind enough to offer up his own time as part of an initiative to make the world a better place, and I was one of the beneficiaries of that effort. He spent an hour with me working on improving my bounce rate; he suggested several helpful strategies. Most importantly, he helped me with some key processes to help speed up my site, which had bogged down considerably with overuse of graphics. Andrew helped me get set up with Rackspace, which helped so much. From a load time of almost 30 seconds, the site sped up to about a 6 second load. Thanks so much, Andrew!
Without Andrew, I wouldn't even have a blog -- I would still just be sitting here, staring at my computer, feeling confused and helpless. With Andrew, I no longer fear confusion and it's impossible to feel helpless. He exerts any and all necessary efforts to resolve any problem or perplexity -- quickly, kindly, intelligently, up to and including IM exchanges in real time via skype. I would urge anyone at any level of expertise (or not) to make the most of his extraordinary talent.
I
was impressed with the excellent service. 
I've spent insane amounts of money in the past with former webmasters until I discovered Andrew Rondeau.
Thank you Andrew for your patience in getting my website and on-line courses on-line and selling. You were fantastic in learning the delivery platform software that I had chosen and you were across the complexities quickly. Your detailed approach in setting guidelines and deliverables bought my focus back to where it should be and got the job done. Thank you for all your efforts it was a pleasure.

Hey Andrew,
Firstly congratulations on getting top rankings for competitive keywords! One of the interesting things shown in your screen shots are the number of results google are showing, i guess they are only trying to show really relevant pages now (16 million versus 70 million previously). I personally didn’t notice many changes in my rankings – I guess if you have a solid website then there’s not much to worry about with any Google changes…

I’ve not seen any difference in my search rankings for certain phrases.

Your an Amazing person. I think, I want to know more about you. I like to apply those tips, specially the Google Caffeine to rank my sites.

I guess that at the end of the day it is about writing content that Google users will apreciate and will make them keep using Google. To ensure this, it seems that in the last updates, Google is ranking better my posts whenever I have over 700 words of content.

Over 700 words – that’s quite interesting. How do you know?

No body knows for sure what Google is looking for.You never be exactly right with the confusing algorithms, designed such that scamers and geniuses will have a hard time keeping up. Do it this way today but don’t think it holds good for tomorrow. Sandbox me but you seemingly in similar position to receive the same treatment, is never ever touched.
I say go with the flow, Google is boss, we all know that, they are search engine monarch, if they are right they are right, if they are wrong they are still right. To remain in the game you must play by their rule as least for now.

I agree…no one really knows. We can only interpret what they officially release.

You’re welcome.
Google are always changing their algorithm. The big recent one was the Panda change.
