Last week, Google revealed another algorithm update just before their 15th birthday. They’re expanding rapidly and want to make sure they are in sync with their customers. Internet marketers are wondering how this change is going to affect their businesses so wanted to publish Hummingbird Update by Google soon after the info was released.

This humming bird is not like the previous Penguin and Panda . It is small :) it just to improve the SERP results. If are doing more affiliate pages in your content means. that page should be punished. that's all. remaining unchanged :)

Hey Agriyanews,

Yep, and improving SERP is a huge deal, so this small change is great, in my opinion. :)

Have a great weekend.

Google is trying though but, what baffles me is that sometimes, sites that are innocent are usually affected by this updates. Lets watch and see what their next update will be like. Thanks for sharing this with the bizsugar community.

Hi Val,

I don't have an answer as to why that happens, maybe Matt Cutts will chime in?! :)

In practical terms, it is now more than ever to ask yourself two questions:

1. What are prospects asking that this page should answer?

2. Am I answering their questions and can Google see that I am?

So if a lot of your prospects search for price, make sure you address price on your page and make sure that you use words like price and cost and include $ and £ as appropriate so that Google can see that your page answers the searchers' questions.

Hi Amabaie,

Honestly, I don't write with the search engines in mind at all... at least very seldom. I simply answer the questions that I know my readers and subscribers are dealing with. So I provide value by helping them grow.

I do have an advantage of having a super engaged community of readers and subscribers...So blessed! :)

Thanks for the update. For every Google upgrade I cringe. There is always the issue of their interpretation of what makes a good site. So far they have done a good job. I appreciate not needing to "game" the system just to be seen.
