Google Search results With A Knowledge Graph Popup

Google has updated its search by integrating encyclopedia style facts and figures directly into its results page, speeding up information gathering. Gone are the days where entering a keyword into a search engine and getting back relevant URLs was convenient enough, but now Google is continuing to do more to make using its primary service easier.

Starting today, click on the name next to a website’s link in your search results, you will get served a small window providing a little bit more information than what’s provided on the page. The panels are accessed through a small clickable link on the second line of applicable search results.

Starting as a small trial, Google will continue to expand the number of sites that bring search results with knowledge graph entries attached. The update is likely to enhance search for individuals, it could cause issues for website owners who appear in search results with the added information panels.

This feature will kick in whenever Google recognizes a website notable or when it can pull enough information worth showing.

Webmaster Help Video About How many links you should have on a page

Matt Cutts posted a video explaining why Google no longer has that 100 links per page webmaster guideline.

Cutts says “It used to be the case that Google bot and our indexing system would truncate at 100 or 101K, and anything beyond that wouldn’t get indexed, and what we did, was we said, ‘Okay, if the page is 101K, 100K, then, you know, it’s reasonable to expect roughly one link per kilobyte, and therefore, something like 100 links on a page.’ So that was in our technical guidelines, and we said, you know, ‘This is what we recommend,’ and a lot of people assumed that if they had 102 links or something like that then we would view it as spam, and take action, but that was just kind of a rough guideline”

Matt also explained that your PageRank is divided by the number of links on a page. If you have 100 links, you’ll divide your PageRank by 100. If you have 1,000 links, you’ll divide your PageRank by 1,000.

If you’re concerned about having too many links on a page, Cutts suggests getting a “regular user,” and testing it out with them to see if they think it has too many links.

Google Penguin 2.1 Update

Google’s web spam head MattCutts has official announced a new update for penguin i.e. Penguin 2.1 in one of his tweet.

Google has however, become more tight lipped about what their updates are targeting, so it is unlikely that any official announcement will be made concerning the areas where penguin 5 or 2.1 are going to cause the most impact. This first Google update of October is affecting 3% of websites around the world.

Panda updates mainly concern your On-page optimization, whereas penguin updates are about off-page optimization issues (your backlinks, basically).

I have personally found few changes in the rankings but still I think we could see more fluctuations in the coming week. Yet the webmasters forums and threads are not active on this update, but I feel many webmasters have noticed this change and will share their experience in coming days.

Before making any changes to your website, wait a few days to see how it is recovering and then continue with a strategy. Later, if you were hit by penguin, you’ll likely know if you see a marked drop in a traffic that begins today or tomorrow. To recover, you’ll need to do things like disavow bad links or manually have those removed. Until it sees that what it considers to be bad has been removed, you don’t recover.
