It seems like Google updates more frequently than what we can keep up with them. Their latest update, the Hummingbird Update was announced recently even though they had been using it for about a month prior to the announcement. Some could take it personal when they are not “in the know” about which update is being initiated. The latest update to the algorithm is the Hummingbird update and it is one in which the entire algorithm has undergone a complete overhaul. Unlike some of the earlier updates like Penguin or Panda, Hummingbird is a total change to the algorithm. Penguin and Panda each dealt with one aspect of the algorithm, not the entire method. The latest update has refined how search results are gathered and displayed for users and it has sent ripples of discontent across SEO professionals. Knowing how the Hummingbird Update changes the world of search is important to web marketers and SEO specialists everywhere.

Google has been consistently modifying its search algorithms to make better results when surfers come and search. These updates have been directed toward link building, and more recently, spam. The goal of the Penguin 2.0 update is to weed out sites that had little or no content that manipulated the search engines results with the use of excessive webpage strategies. While some WebPages plummeted from their search ranks, others felt a very little affect or no affect at all. With each update to Google’s algorithms, there is a risk that the site’s rankings will change. Here are some things that you can do to prepare your site for future Google updates.
