6. MachineLearning

7. Machine Learning uses
algorithms that can iteratively
learn from data – Google are
placing it at their core.
Basically, we are trying to get
machines to make their own
minds up, without us telling them
how to process everything – i.e.
when you upload a Facebook
photo and it knows who it is.
Give the machine a benchmark
and let it go and create!
Machine Learning.

8. Every Search Marketer Is Google Algorithm Obsessed. It wont be long until there is no Algo, it will just be a ‘brain’
which just learns and develops, the same as we do.
