I have heard so much about Google caffeine. But everything is confusing. In a quality blog or site with original content plus frequently updated as what Google wanted, will it create more traffic or become more difficult to get traffics?

Caffeine is simply Google's newest algo tweak. It is only live in one datacenter and results appear to still be shifting around.

It's really just a question of adapting isn't it? It won't necessarily make things any more difficult: just different.

I am adopting a wait and see attitude. by the time it is all finally tweaked and passing out results to the consumer, it will not only be the google update to consider. webmasters around the globe have made minor ' twiddles' to their web pages in anticipation.
I do not recall reading any guarantee from google that what we webmasters presume will happen. . Will happen.

We have notice Google caffeine in our site. We have some keywords that rank 20th then the next day rank 84. Another day pass and it is no where to find in 200th but one day of the week it proceed to page 1 of the SERP. These keyword are normally new and in the beginning of the optimization. Other keywords was stable.

I think this may clarify your situation: Google Caffeine Now Live On One Google Data Center (http://searchengineland.com/google-caffeine-now-live-on-one-google-data-center-30697)

In fact many things have stayed the same.
1. Link power will go on being the major factor, but still looks like the major target is to get rid of the garbage, due tweaking the relevancy algo (hitting spam, etc).
2. Personalized Search will require closer monitoring and analysis of your server log files, bounce rate, etc.
3. Real-Time will require frequent and quality activity in real time media platforms like social media, news, etc.
4. There are rumors that "Content Readability" will become a factor, if it is not already.
5. Loading time? No comments. I hope you understand.
There are sure more stuff coming, but I do not believe that a professional SEO needs to worry.

Anyone have any idea on how to test your site with Google Caffeine since the beta testing page from Google is not available any more?

I am not sure you understood the concept. If you update your content frequently, the same time you have to make sure that you get backlinks: YouTube - Which is more important: content or links? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXgni6U6qk8)

William said above no. Do you read the posts in a thread before dropping questions? Not all of us have the time to repeat again and again what is already clarified. So please... :rolleyes:

Personally when comes to optimization, I always believe that if we stick to building up our sites for visitors with quality content and information, it will be on the right direction. Visitors can bookmark your site and re-visit in the future or if your sites have opt-in to inform site updates, they will come again.
It will be as long as you have good quality sites that deserve their attention. In a long run, even if there are changes in the search algo, it will not be affecting you that much though new visitors may find hard to reach you (if your search position is way off). But again I feel that if you have done your part to give good quality content, it will somehow brings your site to the top of the listing.
