Since late 2016, Penguin has been part of Google\u2019s core algorithm; unlike Panda, it works in real time.Monitor your link profile\u2019s growth and run regular audits with a backlink checker like SEO SpyGlass. In the tool\u2019s Summary dashboard, you\u2019ll find a progress graph for your link profile\u2019s growth. Look out for any unusual spikes: those are reason enough to look into the backlinks you\u2019ve unexpectedly gained.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hummingbird<\/strong><br \/>\nHummingbird helps Google better interpret search queries and provide results that match searcher intent (as opposed to the individual terms within the query). While keywords continue to be important, Hummingbird makes it possible for a page to rank for a query even if it doesn\u2019t contain the exact words the searcher entered. This is achieved with the help of natural language processing that relies on latent semantic indexing, co-occurring terms and synonyms.Expand your keyword research and focus on concepts, not keywords. Carefully research related searches, synonyms and co-occurring terms. Great sources of such ideas are Google Related Searches and Google Autocomplete. You\u2019ll find all of them incorporated into Rank Tracker\u2019s Keyword Research module.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pigeon<\/strong><br \/>\nPigeon affects those searches in which the user\u2019s location plays an important part. The update created closer ties between the local algorithm and the core algorithm: traditional SEO factors are now used to rank local results. Invest effort into on- and off-page SEO. A good starting point is running an on-page analysis with WebSite Auditor. The tool\u2019s Content Analysis dashboard will give you a good idea about the aspects of on-page optimization you need to focus on.<\/p>\n<p>A good way to start with off-page SEO is getting listed in relevant business directories. Not only do those act like backlinks, helping your site rank; they rank well in Google themselves. You can easily find quality directories and reach out to webmasters asking to get listed with LinkAssistant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RankBrain<br \/>\n<\/strong>RankBrain is part of Google\u2019s Hummingbird algorithm. It is a machine learning system that helps Google understand the meaning behind queries, and serve best-matching search results in response to those queries. Google calls RankBrain the third most important ranking factor. While we don\u2019t know the ins and outs of RankBrain, the general opinion is that it identifies relevance features for web pages ranking for a given query, which are basically query-specific ranking factors.Optimize content for relevance and comprehensiveness with the help of competitive analysis. With the help of WebSite Auditor\u2018s TF-IDF tool, you can discover relevant terms and concepts used by a large number of your top-ranking competitors: those are a brilliant way to diversify your content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get your website or web pages on a higher rank in google results.Here are a few of google\u2019s algorithms which you can study in order to enhance your position in search results: Penguin Google Penguin\u2019s objective is to down-rank sites whose links it deems manipulative.
