Exact Match Domain (EMD) Google Update: What's Experts says?

Google announced another change to the algorithm last week that could not only affect your ranking but also the value of domain names as well!





Matt Cutts Warned Us About The EMD Update Over A Year 

Ago:----

He points to a Webmaster Help video from Google’s Matt Cutts from early 2011, where he hinted that Google would be “turning down” exact match domains as a ranking signal. Here’s what he said exactly:

“We have looked at the rankings and weights that we give to keyword domains and some people have complained that we’re giving a little too much weight for keywords in domains. And so we have been thinking about adjusting that mix a little bit and sort of turning the knob down within the algorithm so that given two different domains, it wouldn’t necessarily help you as much to have a domain with a bunch of keywords in it.”

 Matt went on to say that the change “affects 0.6% of English-US queries to a noticeable degree,” but didn’t pin down the timeline. We measured a 24-hour drop in EMD influence from 3.58% to 3.21%. This represents a day-over-day change of 10.3%. While the graph only shows the 30-day view, this also marks the lowest measurement of EMD influence on record since we started collecting data in early April.

Matt Cutts announced a “small,” upcoming algorithm change meant to reduce the amount of low quality exact match domains in search results. Exact match domains contain keywords that exactly match the search query.

Cutts also tweeted, “New exact-match domain (EMD) algo affects 0.6% of English-US queries to a noticeable degree. Unrelated to Panda/Penguin.”

Google's EMD Algo Update

Google has been announcing a lot of algorithm changes lately.   Google   has unleashed yet another algorithm as part of a series of updates that are aimed at providing users with better search results and experience. This time, Google’s update, dubbed the “EMD update,” focuses on ridding the SERPs of  spammy or low-quality “exact-match” domains. The EMD Update — for “Exact Match Domain” — is a filter Google launched in September  2012 to  prevent poor quality  sites from  ranking well  simply because they had words that match search terms in their domain names. When a fresh EMD Update happens, sites that have improved their content may regain good rankings. Google announced the EMD Update, a new filter that tries to ensure that low-quality sites don’t rise high in Google’s search results simply because they have search terms in their domain names. The most significant benefit of an exact match domain is that it makes it much more easy to develop targeted keyword anchor text from authority sites. Anchor text as an SEO tool is in decline, but it has always been a very significant factor, and will likely remain this way to some extent. It’s much easier to get someone to link to your site with the domain name, than it is to tell them “link to me with these keywords." This is probably the major competitive advantage over non-EMD domains. Exact match domains have been on Matt and his team’s radar for well over 2 years. I think it’s a very difficult thing to ‘draw the line’ of which domains are okay and which aren’t. Google continues to find relevant sites based on page quality, offsite value, domain authority, and keyword relevance. Always be willing to spend 10-15% of your overall budget on the BEST domain name you can get. It will make a big difference in both the short and long run. Dive into the aftermarket, and send some emails. Skip the second level TLD’s - .mobi / .travel / .info isn’t worth it. No more than one dash in your domain (better to just skip dash domains altogether) 3-4 words max for .com EMD’s 2-3 words max for .net/.org EMD’s      All of these updates are designed to increase the quality of Google’s search results. Beyond the EMD update, Google has recently made other changes to how it handles domains in different cases. Before the EMD update, Google announced the Domain Diversity update, for example. In its recently announced list of 65 changes from the past two months, Google revealed another domain-related tweak related to freshness to help users find the latest content from a given site when two or more documents from the same domain are relevant for a given query. Lucky owners of exact-match domains for highly-trafficked keywords have long enjoyed easy rankings and the wealth of highly-targeted organic search traffic that results.

How will Google’s Panda update affect your SEO?

Google has recently updated their search engine algorithm with the latest Panda update. Now the question is, how will this change affect your site’s SEO once it is released all over the world? That's a big question. For this question first we need to know about what is The purpose of the Panda . The change is implemented in order to eliminate or remove ‘low quality’ content, or in other words, spammy content trying to rank in the search engines. Here Google use this algorithm to remove duplicate content , low quality content, and spammy content. Now a days after this update lots of site ranking is down .Google is only trying its best in eliminating results that are not relevant or not useful because its users have requested it.
How does this affect your SEO? Publishing content just for the heck of traffic is not a good idea. This is the main reason why Google made the update – because a lot of sites take a lot of content just for them to attract more visitors from the search engines to go to their site and give some impressions and clicks to the ads.

THE GOOGLE PENGUIN UPDATE

Forget Panda, there's a new Google update that's changing up the search algorithm in the form of Google Penguin and it already has its very own Downfall meme.

What is the Google Penguin and who does it affect?

Released last week on the 24th of April, the Google Penguin targets websites which are over optimised by unnatural links and web spam tactics.

Google are particularly targeting poor quality content that uses keyword stuffing or links on high quality sites which don't correspond with the content to achieve high ranking pages. 

According to Google the new update should only affect 3.1 percent of English languages queries with a stronger impact for queries in languages where spamming is more prevalent. Despite the fact that Penguin is only to affect a small minority, there are already numerous reports online of websites being affected by changes in the SERPs.

What to do if you think you have been affected?

Websites that employ white hat SEO tactics to naturally build links shouldn't be affected and may in fact see an improvement in the SERPs as a result from the Penguin update. If however you have seen a drop in the SERPs as a result of the update then there is a feedback form to report any issues or if you think you have been unfairly penalised.

If you have been employing spam tactics though, Google won't be accepting any reconsideration requests that we have reported . The best option moving forward is to clean up any spam content, start focusing on white hat tactics and ride out the storm.

On a side note, one has to wonder if the guys in charge of naming the Google updates were influenced by historyof Penguins at Edinburgh zoo being jealous of the attention the Pandas were receiving.

Outsourcing For Bigger Affiliate Marketing Paychecks

What one or two aspects of Affiliate Marketing that you hate to do? Maybe it’s writing content. Perhaps it’s building backlinks or building web sites or writing code. It really doesn’t matter what it is, you can find someone to do it for you and probably do it cheaper than what you think. It’s called outsourcing and when done properly, will leave you with plenty of time to concentrate on areas of your affiliate marketing that you enjoy and make the most money at.

If you stay in this business long enough, there will come a point when you discover that you don’t have enough time to get everything you need done accomplished. When this happens, it’s time to look into outsourcing some of the chores. For me, it was content writing. I had so many websites that I didn’t have time to write content for every one of them.

Mobile Smartphones and SEO

You or someone you know in all likelihood owns a mobile smartphone (…like the I-Phone, Android or something similar) and accesses the Internet with it. These devices have grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years – projections are that one day, more people will access the Internet with a handheld device than laptops or traditional desktop machines.
Search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo don’t give a hoot if you have a mobile compatible web site or not

John Mueller - @Paul If you have "smartphone" content (which we see as normal web-content, as it's generally a normal HTML page, just tweaked in layout for smaller displays) you can use the rel=canonical to point to your desktop version. This helps us to focus on the desktop version for web-search. When users visit that desktop version with a smartphone, you can redirect them to the mobile version. This works regardless of the URL structure, so you don't need to use subdomains / subdirectories for smartphone-mobile sites. Even better however is to use the same URLs and to show the appropriate version of the content without a redirect :).

That’s right – websites designed for mobile users do NOT receive any special treatment from the search engines. In other words, searches from a mobile smartphone are treated just like any other search from a regular computer.
If you take out your smartphone and do a search, you’ll notice that search engines do not rank mobile sites higher unless you add “mobile” or some other unique keyword to your phrase.
Let’s be clear though – having a site optimized for mobile users is absolutely important.
The big impact in terms of SEO and mobile smartphones is local search. Here’s where sites designed for mobile devices are treated differently than desktop sites (…notice, they treat them differently, not better).
Google and others essentially assume that a mobile search is local. In fact, statistics show that there is a 33% or higher chance you’re looking for something local when using your smartphone.
For example, if you type in “Best Buy” on your mobile device, it’s assumed you’re looking for the local Best Buy store in your town.

Blogspot.com is redirecting to Blogspot.in

Now onwards Blogger blogs will redirect to country level TLD extension. Usually I read Google webmaster central blog, Google blog, Gmail blog etc to know about latest updates from Google. Today i.e. Jan 31st 2012, I observed that "Blogspot.com is automatically redirecting to Blogspot.in". As I live in india, it's redirecting to ".in". It might redirect to .co.uk, if I live in UK.

What exactly this redirection is?

Blogger.com has implemented TLD specific redirection for the blogs hosted on blogger.com network. Currently, this change has been applied to India, so that the person access blog from Indian IP will be redirect to Indian TLD of that blog.

Here question is that why need changes :----

1. Duplicate content issue is the 1st thing we notice in this case. However Google is stating that "rel=canonical" tag will be used across all country level extensions and their team is trying to make less negative impact on search results.
