Google Hummingbird y la Búsqueda Semántica

Google Hummingbird y la Búsqueda Semántica


Google Hummingbird y la Búsqueda Semántica

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 10:10 AM PDT

google colibriEn su cumpleaños número 15 Google anunció el lanzamiento de un nuevo algoritmo llamado “Hummingbird” (Colibrí).

Hummingbird, a diferencia de Panda o Penguin, no es una actualización del anterior algoritmo (Caffeine), sino un algoritmo totalmente nuevo.

El nuevo algoritmo está diseñado para ser rápido y preciso, concentrándose en la intención de búsqueda del usuario.

Este es un gran paso en la expansión de la capacidad semántica de Google y la capacidad de interpretar búsqueda complejas, analizando el significado y la intención de una frase en lugar de palabras individuales.

Comprendiendo la intención del usuario es más fácil mostrar las páginas que mejor responden a su necesidad de búsqueda, en lugar de mostrar las páginas que mejor concuerdan con las palabras individuales utilizadas por el usuario.

Cómo afectará esto el trabajo de SEO?

Actualmente el SEO está muy centrado en trabajar palabras clave por las cuales se busca posicionar un determinado sitio web, sin embargo este nuevo algoritmo encamina al SEO hacia un abordaje menos centrado en palabras clave y más enfocado en brindar respuestas a las necesidades del usuario.

1) Estrategia de contenido: La estrategia de contenido deberá estar mucho más centrada en generar contenido de calidad, útil y relevante para los usuarios.

Si bien actualmente esta es la finalidad de cualquier estrategia de contenido, las palabras clave que utilizamos en el contenido aún es un factor muy importante a tener en cuenta.

Con Hummingbird la idea será dar menos importancia a las palabras clave específicas utilizadas en el contenido y mucho más importancia a la relevancia y utilidad real que pueden encontrar los usuarios en dicho contenido.

2) Compartir el contenido: La interacción que realicen los usuarios con nuestro contenido será cada vez un factor mucho más importante para determinar la calidad del contenido. Por lo cual se deberá buscar generar contactos con influenciadores que puedan compartir y promover nuestro contenido en la web.

3) Link Building: El Link Building de baja calidad será incluso menos relevante, ya que al no buscar posiciones para palabras clave concretas, factores como el “anchor text” de los enlaces pasarán a la prehistoria.

Qué podemos hacer ante los nuevos desafíos de las búsqueda semántica?

Trond Lyngbø escribió un artículo en SEOnomics que resume muy bien como deberán adaptarse las empresas a la búsqueda semántica para seguir generando tráfico orgánico.

Este artículo es de Diciembre del 2012, pero los consejos de SEO brindados en él son hoy en día aún más relevantes tras el anuncio del nuevo algoritmo.

1) Los negocios deben aprender a adaptarse a la búsqueda semántica.

2) Un negocio debe buscar posicionarse como el referente en proveer respuestas a las consultas de los usuarios.

3) Identificar los problemas y necesidades principales de los usuarios de nuestro servicio o producto. Proveer soluciones y respuestas. Se debe utilizar la información de las consultas de búsqueda como una ayuda para determinar las necesidades de los usuarios.

Básicamente el trabajo de SEO irá cambiando para concentrarse más en proveedor soluciones a los usuarios detrás de las consultas de búsqueda y no en el posicionamiento para determinados términos de búsqueda como finalidad.

Este nuevo algoritmo busca eliminar los resultados menos relevantes y el contenido creado únicamente para posicionarse sin agregar valor adicional para los usuarios.

FB: Senior Facebook ad exec leaves for Flurry; company sharing TV data

Senior Facebook ad exec leaves for Flurry; company sharing TV data • 2:05 PM

  • Grady Burnett, Facebook's (FB -0.9%) VP of Global Marketing Solutions for the last 4+ years, has left the company to become the COO of hot mobile ad-serving/analytics startup Flurry. Burnett helped craft Facebook's ad strategy, and was an exec at Google's DoubleClick unit before joining the social networking kingpin. (PR)
  • Facebook has already seen plenty of executive departures this year, including several involving ad execs. EMEA director Christian Hernandez and North American sales chief Tom Arrix left in July, and ad product chief Gokul Rajaram left in June.
  • Separately, Facebook says it will start providing NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox (along with a few smaller partners) weekly reports of Facebook commentary about their shows, in an effort to get the broadcasters to increase their engagement. The move follows the launch of new APIs meant to give media companies a quick birds-eye view of trending topics and public content.

YHOO: Report: Bankers want Alibaba to have $100B IPO valuation

Report: Bankers want Alibaba to have $100B IPO valuation • 12:14 PM

  • A banking source tells BI's Nicholas Carlson the banks working on Alibaba's IPO want the Chinese e-commerce giant to go public at a $100B valuation.
  • If current valuations for high-growth Internet names hold up, there's a good chance Alibaba will end up being worth more than $100B. The company had Q1 revenue of $1.38B (+71% Y/Y) and net income of $669M. Facebook, currently worth $125B, had revenue of $1.81B (+53% Y/Y) and net income of $488M in its blowout Q2.
  • Yahoo (YHOO), which rallied last week (I, II) thanks to Alibaba-related news, is near breakeven after opening lower. Citi raised its PT to $39 from $31 this morning, citing a higher valuation for the Alibaba stake and improving search trends.
  • The firm now thinks Alibaba can deliver 2014 revenue of $10B and net income of $4.3B (up from a prior $9.7B and $4B), and believes Yahoo will be able to at least partly sell its 24% stake (valued at $16/share) in a "tax-efficient" manner.
  • Citi also observes comScore estimates Yahoo saw 22% Y/Y search paid click growth in August. Yahoo, whose search revenue per query has long trailed Google's, saw 21% paid click growth in Q2, partly offset by an 8% drop in cost per click.

GOOG: Kantar: iPhone gains ground, Windows Phone surges in Europe

Kantar: iPhone gains ground, Windows Phone surges in Europe • 10:53 AM

  • Ahead of the iPhone 5S/5C (AAPL -0.7%) launches, the iPhone managed to take share (on a Y/Y basis) in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, according to Kantar Woldpanel's latest data.
  • Kantar estimates the iPhone had a 39.3% share of U.S. smartphone sales in the June-August timeframe, +540 bps Y/Y. In the EU5, where the iPhone has been losing ground to Android, its share rose 200 bps to 16.1%, and in Japan, it rose to 48.6% prior to the start of NTT DoCoMo's 5S/5C sales. The U.K. (27.5%) is Apple's strongest major European market.
  • Android (GOOG +0.2%) respectively had U.S., EU5, and Japanese shares of 55.1% (-560 bps), 70.1% (+130 bps), and 46.7%. It's still taking share from the iPhone in China ahead of an expected China Mobile iPhone deal. Android's Chinese share rose 920 bps to 72.4%, while the iPhone's fell 270 bps to 20.8%.
  • Europe is turning out to be bright spot for Windows Phone (previous): Kantar estimates Microsoft's (MSFT -1.2%) OS had a 9.2% share in the EU5, +420 bps Y/Y. Nokia's Lumia 925 and 1020 launches, along with strong demand for the low-end 520, likely helped. But WP only had a 3% share in the U.S., and a 2.1% share in China.
