With the advanced tech- nology, nowadays Internet marketing is one of the most powerful marketing channels. Google has recently come up with a new algorithm, hummingbird, for all search results. It is designed more precisely to provide faster query results. This will promote both content and inbound marketing. In this essay, I will expound Google’s role in Internet marketing and how it promotes both content and inbound marketing. KEYWORDS New Algorithm; Hummingbird; Content Marketing; Inbound Marketing 1.

  • Google's Major Algorithm Updates and How
    GOOGLE’S MAJOR ALGORITHM UPDATES AND HOW THEY AFFECT WEBSITE'S SEARCH PRIORITY Posted on May 26, 2016 by Andrew Teh Category: Online Marketing Tags: google, google algorithm, google updates, search engine optimization As a company that revolutionizes internet search mechanism by introducing the most sophisticated way of searching with its PageRank system, Google regards its search engine as its most essential asset. Updates to its search result ranking algorithm are periodically introduced, implemented and revised to make sure that its search engine ranks websites fair and square. Most of these updates are minor, but there are some major updates that significantly change the search engine’s behavior. The first major update is called Panda, which Google first introduced in 2011. About a year later, Google introduced Penguin, which further enhanced the search engine’s ingenuity in rewarding quality websites and punishing spammy websites with manipulative link profiles. The next major updates that follows, including Hummingbird, Pigeon and RankBrain, make Google even more context-friendly and more capable to provide users with more relevant search results. Google also released a special update called Mobilegeddon, which allows its search engine to give priority to mobile-friendly websites when users use their mobile devices for searching. For website owners, knowing the features introduced by new updates and their impact to their websites is crucial. Here you will learn about what you need to know about each of those major updates so that you and your websites can get prepared to deal with them. Panda Introduced on: Feb 24, 2011. Revision: Monthly. Purpose: Lower the rank of websites with poor content quality.

  • Ouellette, the Google Shortcut to Trademark Law, 102 CALIF
    Preferred citation: Lisa Larrimore Ouellette, The Google Shortcut to Trademark Law, 102 CALIF. L. REV. (forthcoming 2014), available at http://ssrn.com/abstract=2195989. The Google Shortcut to Trademark Law Lisa Larrimore Ouellette* Trademark distinctiveness—the extent to which consumers view a mark as identifying a particular source—is the key factual issue in assessing whether a mark is protectable and what the scope of that protection should be. But distinctiveness is difficult to evaluate in practice: assessments of “inherent distinctiveness” are highly subjective, survey evidence is expensive and unreliable, and other measures of “acquired distinctiveness” such as advertising spending are poor proxies for consumer perceptions. But there is now a simpler way to determine whether consumers associate a word or phrase with a certain product: Google. Through a study of trademark cases and contemporaneous search results, I argue that Google can generally capture both prongs of the test for trademark distinctiveness: if a mark is strong—either inherently distinctive or commercially strong—then many top search results for that mark relate to the source it identifies. The extent of results overlap between searches for two different marks can also be relevant for assessing the likelihood of confusion of those marks. In the cases where Google and the court disagree, I argue that Google more accurately reflects how consumers view a given mark. Courts have generally given online search results little weight in offline trademark disputes. But the key factual questions in these cases depend on the wisdom of the crowds, making Google’s “algorithmic authority” highly probative. * Yale Law School Information Society Project, Postdoctoral Associate in Law and Thomson Reuters Fellow.

  • Transforming Google's Evolution Into Lead-Generating
    Transforming Google’s Evolution into Lead-Generating SEO. An RLC Media White Paper. Transforming Google’s Evolution into Lead-Generating SEO. It’s the verb that was once just a noun - “just Google it.” It’s the source for every search, every researched product, service, news, info, review, map, address, shopping, and price comparison. It’s the best way your business can place themselves directly in front of the people looking for your services, but it has also become like an over-stocked store. Require your consumer to sift through Google’s infinite layers of information and risk being entirely left out of the decision-making process altogether. If you want to be found, you need to create the right content, that shows up for the right key phrases, at the right time. Implementing a smart Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy is the way to make this happen. But you can’t cheat SEO or use loopholes. Gone are the days of madly backlinking and using volume-based techniques to rank quickly and consistently. And don’t even think about hiring an overseas company to manage it for you. Google will stay the path of rigorously defending the quality of its SERPs. For marketers, website designers and entrepreneurs, only one course of action remains. Either educate yourself on the new rules of SEO or watch as your competitors devour your market share. Building a site that meets all the criteria doesn’t happen overnight, but the long-term investment is worth it when considered with the many benefits. The Evolution of Google and SEO Strategy PANDA - FEBRUARY 2011 Google’s Panda algorithm update reduced rankings for what they deemed low-quality websites.
