Google announced yesterday that it has been working on a project called “Caffeine” that will re-write the architecture for Google’s Web search. As Matt Cutts shares exclusively with WebProNews, Caffeine is comparable to the “Big Daddy Update” back in 2005, which consisted of changes to the way Google crawls and indexes websites.

How much of an impact will Caffeine have on results? Matt says there will, hopefully, not be a big difference. Google will integrate Caffeine slowly and take user feedback into consideration.

Matt says, “If we push forward as fast as we can, double down on innovation and try to do the best that we can, [and] do the right thing for users, everything else will work out.”

This infrastructure modification will lay the foundation for future indexing changes and will also allow for the expansion of website speed and size. Incidentally, it could even provide a stronger architecture for potential real-time and semantic efforts.

    Nice work getting Cutts to go deeper than what he released on his blog. He is saying all the right things.

    I think it’s going to be very interesting to see what power users find difference-wise, if anything.

    The movement towards faster indexing is exciting.

  26. Nacho says:

    They really look do alike now.

    Btw, great interview

  27. Great interview.

    Matt’s comments about Caffeine helping Google to index more pages faster was very promising.

  29. Speed has always been important to Google, so much so that its ingrained in the Google Philosophy – Ten things Google has found to be true
    #3 Fast is better than slow

    Website speed is also an element of the Google Adwords Quality Score.

    Great to see them leading by example.

  35. Glad to hear they are concerned about keeping the search results static.

  54. I think the new modification engine has been applied today. It’s an extraordinary change and I feel it’s rather mess up. The result is quiet different. One of my keyword disappears from the SERP. Peculiarly, my foreign backlink site appear in front pages.

    I am wondering how this affect countries such as Australia. Of course here we have Google Australia and the search is generally relegated to Australian sites. Will Caffine be confined to US operation and sites or will it spread throughout other countries as well?

    Google disappointed me many times. I realize site optimization and after a few months you are on the second or third page. I don’t understand Google works.

  77. I have visited Caffeine and don’t find the results any different really from the normal Google – am I missing something?

    This is getting pretty crazy, it’s been so long since they started working on putting in Caffeine live, and now I’m seeing Google dancing with my keywords and phrases in SERPs. It’s really bugging me out being that I go to page one in SERPs, and sure indexing is much faster now, but when Google starts to dance, and than takes me down from where I want. I used to be able to take over 600k and more results get to spot one and now I can’t even take over 8k results pages with much lower content quality from competition.

    I really don’t know what I can do now, I just hope that things will come back to normal. And right now Matt says that if you have a good site architecture, you should be fine, well that is me, and I am getting hit hard, and losing traffic, long-tails, and everything is still worse than it was, although like I said indexing is much faster, and as soon as I took over some big positions it looks like backlinks finally started coming in, it was odd because it was almost instantaneous.

    So what now? Where do we stand now? There have been no recent updates from G, and I just don’t know if it’s worth it any more, all this work is now almost lost. Please Matt give us an update. It’s been too long.

  103. Caffeine doesn’t really sound like a good name for this sort of thing lol

  104. yeh im already seeing some weird search rsults good and bad it looks like clients andsite owners have to seriously consider putting their name in as many “good” places as possible just more than a blog and a site

  105. Well, now its’s here, along with ‘MAYDAY’, Wonderwheel, etc. does anyone think it is better??
    It certainly returns a lot worse and more useless links for rainwater havesting sites.

  106. I thought it was a great post!

  109. Looks like i need to know way more about the new algorithm, in any case nice post

  110. This is huge and saying it is a change of the indexing or crawling system is underplaying the significance. Mr. Cutts is fairly open in regard to the fact that this is a big big change that the ramifications of will take a while to be understood.

  129. hey there and thank you for your information – I’ve definitely picked up anything new from right here. I did however expertise several technical points using this web site, since I experienced to reload the site many times previous to I could get it to load properly. I had been wondering if your hosting is OK? Not that I am complaining, but slow loading instances times will often affect your placement in google and could damage your high-quality score if advertising and marketing with Adwords. Well I am adding this RSS to my email and can look out for a lot more of your respective fascinating content. Make sure you update this again soon..

  131. Interesting looking back at this article now, a few years later and seeing that the rollout that was so widely discussed and feared amongst SEO experts didn’t have the impact that everyone was predicting. At least not for us as experts in the field having done the right thing by our clients and building sustainable links and building quality content on the net.

  132. Thankfully the way seo works now has not changed much since caffeine. Everyone was worried that it would change the way people search

  133. Thats put some minds to rest I bet. Hopefully it will stop Bad Links. Use google alot to advertise are Septic tank emptying.
