Almost every day, Google introduces changes to its ranking algorithm. Some are tiny tweaks; others seriously shake up the SERPs. This cheat sheet will help you make sense of the most important algo changes and penalties rolled out in the recent years, with a brief overview and SEO advice on each. 1. Panda Launch date: February 24, 2011 Hazards: Duplicate, plagiarized or thin content; user-generated spam; keyword stuffing How it works: Panda assigns a so-called “quality score” to web pages ; this score is then used as a ranking factor. Initially, Panda was a filter rather than part of Google’s ranking algo, but in January 2016, it was officially incorporated into the core algorithm. Panda rollouts have become more frequent, so both penalties and recoveries now happen faster. 2. Penguin Launch date: April 24, 2012 Hazards: Spammy or irrelevant links; links with over-optimized anchor text How it works: Google Penguin’s objective is to down-rank sites whose links...

Augmented reality does not end with your smartphone. There are many more ways to enhance your perception of the world. However, it is important to understand that AR is not a monolithic technology. As is often the case, subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) differences in implementation can play a key role in how successful a technology is for a specific use case. Several categories of augmented reality technology exist, each with varying differences in their objectives and applicational use cases. 1.Marker Based Augmented Reality Marker-based (also called Image Recognition) uses a camera and some type of visual marker, such as a QR/2D code, to produce a result only when the marker is sensed by a reader. Marker based applications use a camera on the device to distinguish a marker from any other real world object. Distinct, but simple patterns (such as a QR code) are used as the markers, because they can be easily recognized and do not require a lot of processing power to read. T...

Google Bans Cryptocurrency Mining Extensions From Chrome Web Store . In an effort to prevent cryptojacking by extensions that maliciously mine digital currencies without users' awareness, Google has implemented a new Web Store policy that bans any Chrome extension submitted to the Web Store that mines .Over the past few months, we have seen a sudden rise in malicious extensions that appear to offer useful functionality, while embedding hidden mining scripts that run in the background without the user's knowledge.

To some people, the blockchain technology is a lot more promising than the cryptocurrency it was designed to support. Sure, the demand for Bitcoin is colossal at this point in time. But since it’s basically backed by nothing but sentiment, it’s reasonable to believe that the Bitcoin bubble may eventually pop-- however unlikely that may be. The benefits of blockchain, however, are more than big enough to sustain its relevance for generations to come. Without further ado, here are the most important benefits of blockchain technology 1.Decentralization This is a core concept and benefit of blockchain. There is no need for a trusted third party or intermediary to validate transactions; instead a consensus mechanism is used to agree on the validity of transactions. 2.Transparency and trust As blockchains are shared and everyone can see what is on the blockchain, this allows the system to be transparent and as a result trust is established. This is more relevant in scenarios suc...

Originally devised for the digital currency, Bitcoin , (Buy Bitcoin) the tech community is now finding other potential uses for the technology.Bitcoin has been called “digital gold,” and for a good reason. To date, the total value of the currency is close to $9 billion US. And blockchains can make other types of digital value. Like the internet (or your car), you don’t need to know how the blockchain works to use it. Here the Information held on a blockchain exists as a shared — and continually reconciled — database. This is a way of using the network that has obvious...
