The days of Google, are those of brilliant and sunny filled landscapes. Complete with the frivolities of such a giant company-sandy beaches, fun times and entertainment. But any search engine, Google included changes on a monthly, if not day-to-day basis. That is the underestimated fact of search engines.
Those 'Woodstockesque' party moments could change in the future. So look at what the future might hold for search engines, and see if change is good. For a background, search engines work on the retrieval of a cache or index of Web pages. For example, Google employs bots that crawl every corner of the Web, to find and archive (if allowed by the website), the contents of a Web page.
Those bots work continuously, 'round the clock, to maintain and re-index new or existing Web pages. First, this is a huge, astronomical undertaking. Moreover, Google must employ the use of quite possibly millions of servers to keep everything running like a well-oiled machine.
So when a search visitor searches Google, or "to Google something" for the verb usage, they are in fact searching the index of the Web, and not the actual real time results. Furthermore, the frequency that Google's bots come to your website or crawl your website depends on how highly ranked it is; essentially, how much Page Rank Google assigns to a website determines its general value.
And real time is what the future holds for search engines. Google recently introduced real time results via Twitter to search visitors. With real time Twitter results, the search engine results page (SERP) will display a dynamically updated box with real time conversations on Twitter, about the chosen search keyword, if applicable.
They also recently released Google Caffeine, which focuses on improving the data to search engine results performance. Caffeine emphasizes speed of searching, speed of indexing and quickness in general. Overall, it is logical to assume that Google will come out with more speed and optimization enhancements like this.
The ability for Google to determine the relevancy of your website is essentially up to the bots. If the bots are able to crawl every corner of your website via the sitemap, then they will get to know your website much more. But what about video? Google's bots cannot crawl the contents of a video at this moment, but I think that will change.
The company has worked tirelessly to employ bots that can crawl almost any file format, including PDFs. To provide the best user experience, they will need to be able to access content of any kind. Say for example, a website that I know of is completely video based, with very little text. At this moment, what will the bots be able to crawl, besides the title and Meta description? That is what will improve in the future.
With YouTube's closed captioning system, the technology of being able to crawl the content of video seems to be closer to becoming a true reality. YouTube's system while rudimentary can recognize the spoken words in a video and associate text accordingly. It does not do the best job, but it is able to decipher content in a video.
In the future, we will see search move to real time versus indexing or caching. We will also see text transform into video, with results based on what is actually inside the video. Although the use of text will not die, it will transform into a more interactive Web approach and search engine integration.
Carl Drummond likes to stay on the cutting-edge of Internet technology. For years, he has enjoyed researching what's new in Web design and development. And with the massive growth of Google, he believes that search engine technology will be fueled by innovative leaders of the search engine market. Search engine techniques and optimization, even in a smaller sized city like Fort Wayne, Indiana can change at anytime. That is why [
