Confabulations

So another year and another fantastic year in SEO. We have seen local search become increasingly important with loads of businesses uploading their listing in Google local business centre. Real time search has arrived and it is now possible for anyone to appear at the top of the search results, so long as you were the last person to update your twitter status on a popular subject.And now personal search looks set to become one of the ‘next big things’!

With Google caffeine set to fully roll out in early 2010, the future of search engine optimization has been commented on by many industry experts. Nothing is clear yet, however many people see a shift occurring from off-page efforts to your on-page optimization. Meta tags, keyword rich domains, unique and updated content, all of these features are set to play a bigger part in the Caffeine algorithm, and some SEO experts are already starting to make changes.

With a whole bunch of changes looking set to occur in the early months of 2010, it sure is an exiting time for SEO. And with that I would like to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
