Google Hummingbird: The Most Significant Algorithm Update Since 2010?
Google Hummingbird: September 26, 2013 marked Google’s 15th birthday.
To celebrate, Google announced a major algorithm update that would affect 90% of all searches, called Google Hummingbird.
The cool part was when they made the announcement a day before their birthday inside the garage where the brains of Larry Page and Sergey Brin came up with today’s biggest search engine.
Google says the name comes from the updates “being precise and fast,” as noted in SearchEngineLand’s article announcement about the algorithm. Over 200 ingredients pool together in Google Hummingbird to make the algorithm work.
