Google Tweaks Search Results

Time for all those search engine experts to learn a new algorithm: Google announced Friday they had tweaked the way the search engine sifts through content so that “low-quality” content will not be featured so prominently. “It will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on,” wrote Google Fellow Amit Singhal and Principal Engineer Matt Cutts in a blog post. The change will push about 12 percent of all websites to a less visible position in search results.
