Google Caffeine - Sandbox Vanished - Are you ready for the change?

Google Caffeine - Sandbox Vanished - Are you ready for the change?



If you're not familiar with the new google search engine algorithm it's called caffeine. Caffeine became live April, 10, 2009. At this time it was under beta testing, for the entire world via the google sandbox.

If you decide to click the link above, you will see a message posted by google, and google's associates indicating that they are preparing to release Google Caffeine to the entire world.

I did get a chance to play with Caffeine, quite a bit actually. A lot of my websites are ranking very highly in area's that they weren't touching with the google algorithm we're all used too. I believe that caffeine's new algorithm is based on a few things.

  • Strong Unique Content
  • Bolding of Keywords
  • Strong Anchorwords
  • Complete Meta's (Title's & Descriptions)


In SEO, this practice is typical for high ranking, anyone with general SEO knowledge knows that already. The new algorithm, however, is eliminating the the wikipedia pages, the e-how's and other high ranking websites that have less to do with the key word you are targeting. At least that's my grasp on it.

Google can either be an SEO's best friend, or worst enemy. As google changes, you should also change. Or you could end up in the sandbox.
