Editor's Notes

  1. Pigeon – Update to local search algorithm My Business – Google Local update to help business owners manage their local pages Penguin 3.0 refresh – Affects backlinks. Many found this to hurt their ranking but many customers who were doing the right things had a very positive impact from this update. Privacy Concerns – Increased privacy concerns in Europe allow users to submit claims to remove results from Google
  2. Wearables – Voice Search and Google Now Keyword Research – Semantic will take over and context is everything. Ensure you understand how to mix in context to your pages content. Single Keyword focused pages won’t cut it in 2015
