Over the past few days, the Webmaster and SEO community have been discussing significant shifts, fluctuations and updates in both the Google rankings and traffic patterns they have seen from Google’s organic search.

Is this the clear sign of another Google algorithm update? I think YES....

I discussed with plenty of webmasters and brand owners, all confirmed it. All found significant change in their keywords ranking (either UP or Down). But majority of webmasters who are doing neat marketing found happy with this update.. Good News !!!!

Well it is yet not confirmed by any Google mate.. 

According to Barry,  Google would not confirm. Instead, they gave him the boilerplate response, “We have nothing to announce at this time.” They of course added, “We make over 500 changes to our algorithms a year, so there will always be fluctuations in our rankings in addition to normal crawling and indexing.” This is nothing new; Google often will use this response when discussing matters of algorithmic changes or updates to their index.

Webmasters confirmed it. They all waiting for Google Stamp on it.. 

Good Luck...........

The National Security Agency just declassified a bulky 643 pages research guidebook called Untangling the Web: A Guide to Internet Research (PDF) that doesn't appear all that interesting. That is, except for one section on page 73: "Google Hacking."

"Say you're a cyberspy for the NSA and you want sensitive inside information on companies in South Africa," explains Kim Zetter at Wired. "What do you do?"

Well, you could type the following advanced search into Google — "filetype:xls site:za confidential"  to uncover a trove of apparently private spreadsheets. 

How about an Excel file containing Russian passwords? Try: "filetype:xls site:ru login."

Declassified information being what it is, though, some of the search tips can appear a little dated.
And even if keyboard espionage isn't really your thing, the document contains a number of practical tips anyone can use to become a better Googler:

* Adding a tilde (~) immediately before a term will search for its synonyms. For example: "Scary ~animals" will also search for "scary creatures," etc.

* Repeating a word will help you find more relevant hits. For example a search for "java coffee coffee coffee" will cut down on the results about the programming language.

* You can use Google wildcard (*) to replace a term in a query if you don't know exactly what you're searching for. For example: "Sacramento is the * of California."
