One of Google team’s member at official Google blog says,

“Caffeine provides 50 percent fresher results for web searches than our last index, and it’s the largest collection of web content we’ve offered. Whether it’s a news story, a blog or a forum post, you can now find links to relevant content much sooner after it is published than was possible ever before.”

So, the statement openly favours regular updated blogs, social bookmarking sites, and active forums. Let’s go in details on who will have favour from Big daddy caffeine?

1- Regularly updated blogs- Google loved fresh content and frequent updates from always but Google caffeine will now help bloggers earn more with the special favor to the content as soon as they publish. This fresh content will not only be indexed in seconds to minutes but also will stay in Google’s fresh database for longer durations if you’re connected with social media sites.

How to get best out of this favor?

Bloggers can earn more and more with their blogposts if they get more and more comments to the posts. It means, the content is getting popularity and as the page is updated with a comment (few fresh content), it stays longer as well as higher in search engine rankings in the niche. Social bookmarking sites should be used more and more to get popularity, comments and favor to your recently published content making spider crawl your page again and again pushing it to higher rankings.

2- Social Bookmarking websites and portals – These social sites have already achieved huge popularity over last 3 years. From Digg, reddit to twitter and facebook, Google simply loved them for the real-time user interface and interactive features. But now they will be 10 times more popular because

a)  These are loaded with fresh content and news every minute

b)  These will have more users than before after caffeine launch and open love to actively updated places and sites.

3- Forums - These will be second most popular places after blogs and social sites. Because people are genuinely active in various forums with specific questions, discussions and topics, there will be more and more inclination to forums now. One can join forums’ active discussions or open new, sensible and relevant threads to get valuable links. Rest be assured that Google will indexes these posts, thus your links, before you imagine. This will lead to most forum owners to be concerned about quality and changing their policies and rules. Forums owners will get more business and popularity; people will get quickly indexed links and easier rankings.

What will happen to the static sites and ecommerce businesses?

There are millions of people who are running their profitable service or product based business websites on static platform. Will they lose the rankings? Well, many of them already lost it. Because these are not updated frequently, Google didn’t prefer them for relevant results. We can assume that keyword density and other factors could be taken as secondary criteria for rankings and freshness with absolute relevancy being the first and foremost now.

Solution to higher rankings for static sites

• Such business websites can have an integrated blog like http://www.ABC.com/blog . These blog updates can be set up on homepage of main website from sidebar to bottom anywhere using codes. Now, your website is actually getting updated frequently because it is directly connected to a regular updated blog with posts links on homepage.
• Another additional option can be minor changes/additions on website content on regular intervals. If it is a product based website, make sure you are adding good product descriptions.
• Adding widgets and social bookmarking buttons would help them get connected to frequently updated sites and social media.

Some well-thought assumptions about Caffeine, Users and SEO

1- With more user oriented approach, caffeine targets not only the user retention with fresher, faster and more relevant content but also the surging growth of Mobile searches. This would (has already infact) lead to factors like page load speed dominate the searches. In short, Google caffeine would prefer quick loading sites and pages. When Google says, the results are 50% faster, it means page load time has become extremely important now. There are no rules as such but 3-5 seconds time may be near to standard one.

The site owners and designers can work out quick page loads with server compression and fixing the CSS files as well as javascripts.

Interestingly, flash sites may face some disastrous effects of Google Caffeine with lesser favor in real time search as well as mobile browsing because most of the phones do not support flash except few Android phones.

2- Backlinks from frequently updated and niche related sites would count more to secure the place in caffeine’s most fresher and relevant results. That means, linking to social bookmarking sites, news sites, forums and niche industry blogs will help if you can manage to get links from them as they’ll have a greater attention from Google’s spiders. For SEO and marketing companies, features like diggs, prop up and down at propeller, like and dislike at facebook, reddits will contribute to Google favour for better and stable rankings. Now in real manner, page relevance, quality and people’s vote will dominate.

3- As Google is going to prefer picking up recently published and relevant content, on-site optimization and meta-tags will play equally important roles as off-site optimization. In other words, there will be 50:50 ratio when it comes to search engine rankings responsibility.

4- Now when Google says it will prefer fresher content, so can we assume the so called sandbox effect or new site boost effect is no more? Whether the site is old or brand new, it’d be favored by Google as long as it offers relevant, unique, and fresh content.

5- Because caffeine is real-time search based algo, it’d favor all new videos, news and media. Consequently, the pages with fresh content supported with media and video will be preferred? Well, I think YES. Go web 2.0 Go!

6- Most article directories and similar sites will gain trust from Google caffeine if they add social bookmarking buttons and other widgets that makes them either regularly updated portal or connect them with sites that are regularly updated. So more user interaction and link popularity.

7- For link builders, SEO companies and internet marketers, the value of link exchanges and paid links from static pages will be almost zero.  Fresh content based link building methods like contextual blogposts from genuine blogs, unique article marketing, optimized web 2.0 pages will work far better for link popularity and top rankings achievement.

8- With so many above written points, it’d be interesting to see the fear of penalties and filters seem to be lifted in Google caffeine.

9- Because spiders are going to index web faster and deeper, it’s better to re-structure the sitemaps and navigation to have deeper pages lesser clicks away and at good positions. It’s obvious that spiders are not going to waste time on complicated, clumsy sites and pages.

10- The pagerank will have a substantial impact. This has already been effect for a while recently. The new sites with fresh and original content will get a better pagerank without much or no link building. Even if the site has been favored by certain blog directories and social sites, that would be enough for Google caffeine to recommend the site for a decent pagerank.

This assumption will somehow affect paid links for SEO. Get text links on hot and preferably top positions of a page with good tag to have more, better and quicker chances of getting indexed.

Last but not the least, because Google will prefer fresher and frequently updated sites, rankings will not be stable anymore and old static sites that ruled the web for ages will be gone if they don’t upgrade. To achieve stable rankings in Caffeine era, you’d not only have to create and update pages with fresh content but also MAKE people link back to you. Google will prefer what people like and the grand Caffeine chapter begins with a grand business opportunity for content writers and companies; and with a demand of smarter approach from marketing companies.

Are cheap search engine optimization companies actually offering value for their money? Are the rankings sustainable or are they just a flash in the pan?

Unfortunately, many people tend to opt for the quick and cheap option. By the time they get burned, their websites are already de-indexed and they often have to start all over again. It becomes increasingly worse if the domains have been around for a long time and a lot of time has been spent building the website.

Most search engine optimization companies offering a quick and cheap way to higher search engine rankings often do it the wrong or unethical way. If you doubt it, when next you find a company that offers that service, contact them and ask them what methods they would be using. You can be sure that they will be evasive and not forthcoming with the necessary information.

On the other hand, genuine and reputable search engine optimization companies will not hesitate to show you what they will be doing to help your website get higher search engine rankings. These white hat companies spend time doing it the right way. And while the results may not be as fast as the cheap, shady options, you can be sure that the website will rise through the ranks naturally. The search engine algorithms have been designed in such a way that websites that quickly rise through the ranks are viewed as suspicious and probably spammy.

The natural and safe methods often work well for webmasters that are willing to wait just a little longer. While this method might be a little pricey –hence the reason many individuals opt for the cheaper and faster method- the benefits in the long term far outweigh the little fee paid. White hat methods play by the rules of the search engines; thus they are safe and produce long lasting results as long they are maintained and updated once in a while.

Higher search engine rankings are possible using the right means and methods. The cheap ways may give you temporary results and this is ok if your target is temporary. But then, why spend time and money on the temporary when you can make the results permanent! Thus giving you the ability to consistently earn more money and build your lists from the website for a long time.

Therefore, it is advisable that you opt for the natural and safe methods of search engine optimization. The benefits will last for a long time and you will make way more than you invested.

This also applies to your internet marketing business. Knowing what is happening in the market can both save your business and prevent you from taking a dangerous leap into unknown or murky waters.

If your business is internet based, then you know that your livelihood –whether you like it or not- depends largely on the different search engines. If these are gone today, you are not likely to make a dime from that business anymore.

Since an important aspect of your business online is search engine optimization, being on the lookout for recent hot trends and updates will help you navigate the treacherous waters of change. Staying on top of seo trends include

* Attending Conferences and Events

Sometime ago, just before the google duplicate content “slaughter”, some marketers who had tons of duplicate content online took them down and in the process, were able to stay afloat during the purge. They were able to do this simply because they had insider information about the intention of google to clamp down on duplicate content.

People who had high search engine rankings were suddenly thrown off balance and websites fell from first page to the 2 millionth page. Most of those who were able to escape the cleansing did so because they attended events where rumours about duplicate content clamp down were strong.

* Keep Your Ears on the “Ground”

In the past, people were able to hear a war coming from as far as three days away. The reason they were able to do this was because they knew how to put their ears on the ground and listen intently to the varying sounds emanating from the earth.

This way, they were able to escape before enemies attacked them. You should do the same in business. Keep your ears to the ground. No matter how big you get, hang around industry forums and authority websites once a while and just listen to gist going around these places. It could be your saving grace.

Know More about predictability of GOOGLE Search Trends

* Pay Experts to Do It

Search engine optimization companies, services and professionals are often insiders in the game. They know where to get the right info, contact the right people and even know about any major “storm” way ahead of its occurrence.

You can easily pay services like this to once in a while look over your website and see if there is anything they can do. A steady appraisal –probably once every 6 months; more if it necessary and affordable- can help your website stay alive.

It is crucial that you stay afloat during any major search engine “storm”. Getting expert SEO opinions and the costs involved are puny compared to the benefits that can be obtained from consistently listening to their advice and following their recommendations.

1. It’s Still Anyone’s Game!

With about 10 weeks to go in the contest, it’s too early for anyone to be declaring winners. That means you’ve still got a shot at getting to those top three spots. It ain’t over ’till it’s over – or ’till it’s August 15 already.

2. Take the Star-Studded Road

A lot of the pages in the Top 10 of the results didn’t start there. Some were once obscure little pages, until their respective optimizations boosted them to Page One. So if you’re currently languishing at Page 12, don’t worry; some of the strongest sulumits retsambew competitors came from your station. It’s going to be a challenge of turning their pedestal into your own.

3. It’s a Slow Climb to the Top

Remember your SEO basics. For example, keep in mind that few things on Google are instantaneous. Most of the time, there are several days’ – even a weeks’ – delay before you see anything happening to your page.

In the same vein, don’t get put down if your page’s performance has been less than meteoric. Progress in these SEO contests is always slow and gradual. That’s why the people who do well at this kind of thing are those who are consistent and diligent with their optimization.

4. Ask the Pros

While you’ll be going up against professionals in Sulumits Retsambew, there’s a good side to the formidable competition too. Many of those guys and girls are helpful enough to give you tips and comments on how to do better in the contest. You never know, you might even get a couple of new ideas from them that you missed out before.  I’d like to refer one of the recent post at HomeBizSEO.com specifically for sulumits retsambew –> (currently there si some error in my system or the blog. I’d edit it soon)

Don’t let low rankings and poor performance get you down and keep you there. The battle for the Sulumits Retsambew crown isn’t over, and it’s time for you to go back and fight for it.

If you’ve read enough articles on copywriting, marketing and SEO in general, you’ve probably already heard of keyword stuffing. The moniker for dishing out senseless marketing content for the sake of getting more keywords on a page, copywriting is generally frowned upon by the search engines and penalized by the search engines. But you could actually be stuffing your content with keywords, all without meaning to do so.

There’s a lot of software on the Internet that allows you to measure the keyword density of your SEO copywriting, so you may as well use them. Check the numbers for the density in your content: if they’re double digit (meaning 10% and above), you’re way over the safe line, and chances are good that the search engines have already penalized you.

Start by doing a revamp of your existing content. Traditionally, 3% to 6% is considered the safe range for your keyword density; the ideal number, though, varies with the algorithms that the search engines use. Although it might seem that your content will seem a bit thin in terms of keywords, it’ll be just fine for the search engines if you keep your density on the lower end of the scale.

Perhaps that’s one of the advantages of getting copywriting, marketing and SEO services from professional service providers. Most of them have their respective techniques for researching and determining the ideal density for a particular keyword and even for specific search engines. While it sounds like you’ll be taking the easy route, it’s actually the more sensible way because you’re sure of compliance with all the latest SEO standards – something you just can’t afford to miss.

And I must mention that I’ll make some nice use of seo copywriting in sulumits retsambew seo contest as well; that’s what the first target of re-launching my personal blog.

Chill & cheers!

This piece of news should come as a surprise if you’ve been keeping tabs on the contest: SulumitsRetsambew.org was dethroned. Hellas lost his sleep and rest :p. The Bosnia and Herzegovina-based ex-first ranker has been knocked down one step to rest at page 3, then page 2, then lower page 1,and good news, he is back today. But I’m sure it was a bad time for him.

It’s done a pretty good job for the first several weeks of the contest, quickly garnering the top spot and holding on to it for a relatively long time. Now that he’s back to first place, though, the contest is up in the air again.

Asia is still holding on to its dominance in the contest, particularly on Page 1. For almost the entire duration of the contest, most of the Top 10 pages have come from Asian countries. At the moment, it doesn’t seem like that trend will let go anytime soon; Asia-based sites still have a strong hold in the first few SERPs.

.biz entry is surprising everybody with #2 hold as the rumor is of site being offline and out. My first sulumits retsambew entry is back to #3 after 17 days. mygulfcoastbeachteam.com, sulumitsretsambew.com and Firtown.com are doing real good but fluctuating with their positions pretty frequently.

Slideshare’s entry is back to page 1 after a drop but now it’s not in top 5. Good job by sulumitsretsambewblog.com as I notice it making a jumpr from page 3 to 1.

Social networks seem to be an emerging trend in the SEO race to #1. While the initial Top 10 lineup was composed primarily of blogs and news sites, more and more social network pages are creeping their slow but sure way up the search engine rankings. Only time will tell how well the social networking shtick will hold up in this free-for-all SEO contest.

My first entry talked a lot about SEO in general, and perhaps read a bit more like a small article directory specializing in SEO or a sulumits retsambew newspaper. What I plan to do with my second entry is to make the site a little more personal, a little more human, little more colorful. Expect to see some personal blog posts and a couple of slice of life articles in sulumits retsambew Entry #2, because you’re going to see a whole lot more of me in there.

Looking at Entry #1, I also felt that the site overall was a bit distant, bordering on aloof and impersonal. You’ll see that change with this second entry. I will (or, at least, will try) to connect on a more personal level with readers and site visitors. Hopefully, establishing a connection on that level will work out better for the page in the end.

The approach, while relatively novel for the Sulumits Retsambew competition in particular, isn’t entirely new and I’ll use more of social media marketing. Let’s see if media overweighs the backlinks. But at the very least, it’ll be a lot more fun and less tiresome to do than pure old SEO with all its focus on keywords and in-text links. This is SEO with a touch of Sunita aka Chilling Breeze, and we’ll see in a couple of months how well it goes.

Chills & Cheers!

The answer above begs the question of what exactly an SEO contest is. Now, this competition is by no means the first; there have been numerous notable ones in the past, some of them much larger and more prestigious than this one. Its goals and principles, however, remain the same.

As an SEO contest, it’s a free-for-all for anybody who has access to SEO resources. Whoever gets to a certain search engine result rank within a certain amount of time wins; anything else you want to do is entirely your choice. Sites of all backgrounds and home nationalities are welcome to join and compete.

Redefining the Contest

SEO contests are meant to be opportunities for you to try out various SEO techniques in a controlled setting, and to compare how well your techniques fare compared to others’. More recently, many sites have been taking that experimentation aspect just a little bit further.

An increasing number of sites competing for sulumits retsambew are trying out methods that the SEO community has long held to be ‘bad’  or ineffective. And, to the surprise of many, those techniques are getting the pages to rankings that the community had previously believed impossible to reach. It’s groundbreaking, it’s revolutionary and it’s all just part and parcel of an SEO contest. Good luck to all

Chill & Cheers!
