Are you prepared for Hummingbird and what do you know about it?

I am honest and that means I will admit that I started reading Rubi's post with an open mind, expecting an expose of a rare bird found by Al Gore's inquisitive ecological brain, just to discover I was reading geek speak, which means little to nothing to uncle Joe... however, the rest of the thread got me more and more excited, because my business does not depend on Google, as EBay makes sure I get 50,000,000 visitors to my sites and have little to nothing to do to be found... how exciting is tha

Thanks all for sharing!

great one..content must be original for promoting website.

All good advice. Like it or not, mobile, and SEO are needed if you want attention from the search engines today. Just be ready for rules that change by the day.

I found very goood your script.

Another great question Mike!

I only came across Hummingbird very recently, had a quick look and bookmarked it for future perusal. I'm glad I checked out this thread because it reminds me that my intuition was correct that this would be of importance. I feel better informed now. Thanks everyone.

Google is The Boss (no offense to Bruce Springsteen of course) and Content is King, so keep the Boss happy but Love your King!

Vishwajeet, I agree and disagree with you on this one...Google doesn't follow it's own polices as far as it's own sites if that was the case one could just mimic how they do their sites. People like me will through as much money as possible to some young insider to get the results we need. I will say that useful and entertaining content and not paying attention to Google is doing will be the key because Google has it's best interest at heart not yours. Thanks for the share.

Mariam, excellent pitch...good luck on that one.

If your website comply with Google Policies then hummingbird update will won't hurt you.

Let me fight with Hummingbird, friends....

Technology, I can't believe I have 2 people that are willing to talk modern times geek on this site! The bottom line in plain talk is people better start learning how to put useful content out there to engage your audience. Soon all the bad useless promotions will be thrown in the trash along with questionable companies. Thanks.

Ruby explained it very well. Structures data is the key to face Hummingbird algorithm as it focus more on semantic search.

Rubi, I guess you summed it up...I didn't expect anyone to comment on this but not only did you...people should pay close attention to the information you have given...especially stuctured data markup. Thanks for this great share!

Mobile SEO: Undoubtedly, conversational search is driven in part by the way people search when on their mobile devices — so, mobile optimization is going to continue to be critical.
Structured Data Markup: Providing search engines with as much information as possible about your page content helps them do their job better. Structured data can also improve click-through rates in the search results when displayed in rich snippets.
