Google Universal Search, algorithm update 'Important Topic'

[Fort Worth Realtor]

So if our company has videos done of Real Estate in Fort Worth on you tube then we might be in a good postion. One of my agents has over 40 video uploaded. I just wonder how to optimize them

There is a theory that this will only relate to this www.video.google.com

We will have to wait and see

The article says that this will roll out over the next days. So how can I ensure I see this new face? Any particular data center to be used? How do I know it is the new results interface?

Because of adding Videos and Images to its page results, it push previous top ranked website to lower rankings.

no, no, no it is just a new interface for the user:

Sticky: Google Universal Search, algorithm update 'Important Topic'

Sure they now have more choices which can lead to less clicks from the organic rankings.

I am not sure if Google can index SMIL files, but as SMIL is XML, I am pretty sure they can retrieve the information of the files.

So why not testing that and tell us what have you experienced?

I am planning to run a test too, when I will have the time.

Hi all
I study one article about the Google algorithm. Now the traffic volume on various sites is decreased. We can take example of famous site Answer.com. The traffic on this site is decreased by 28%. How we can get the traffic again?

Here comes troubles for all SEO, I've seen and read that many website that were on top were now on 2nd, 3rd page results or nowhere.

Because of adding Videos and Images to its page results, it push previous top ranked website to lower rankings.

Now SEO will be hard to work, you'll need to think of Video, Image, Books and News contents.

Tell me what do you think, will website ecommerce owners lose money not being on top anymore, adsense earnings drop, seo professional must look for new techniques.....

Thankfully I haven't noticed any changes in my particular niche, so I would think it's safe to say it depends on your niche and search terms as to whether or not one will see any changes.

Anyone heard of paid advertising?

Neat thing that worked wonders for years and decades prior to the late 1990s / Google's existence.

Google can do what they want, and I will continue to help businesses grow with or without them.

"SEO'ers & bloggers" here and at other forums continuously lose sight of the simple fact that not every site owner has a site about news, blogs, SEO, etc. Believe it or not, there are websites out there that sell static consumer products and for those type sites their business will not grow if they are not in G (unless you have a fortune to spend on advertising, which most do not). When someone needs to purchase a product, they will go to a search engine. The majority of the time, it's G.
