So, what is up with the much awaited Caffeine?
Back in November 11th I had blogged about Matt Cutts’s announcement that Caffeine won’t be launched until “after the holidays”. At the time, Matt said Google decided to wait with the launch of their highly acclaimed new algorithm update out of consideration for webmasters. The idea was to keep the search results stable over the high season of shopping time.
It didn’t really make sense to me back then. In my post, I said that if Google had a better algorithm, producing better and faster results for end users, they should not avoid launching out of consideration for webmasters. After all, there’s only so much web traffic and one webmaster’s loss is another’s gain.
Well, it’s been over two months now. And almost two weeks into 2010 and still no sign of Caffeine.
In Israel, with major holidays coming up twice a year, the term “after the holidays” takes on a special meaning. “After the holidays” being the ultimate excuse for all those things you plan on postponing endlessly and forever.
No, I don’t think Google is going to postpone the rollover forever. I do wonder what’s making them wait so long though. Is it the recent China business? or were issues with caffeine itself the real reason behind the “after the holidays” delay?

Google may find some incomplete algorithm so they postpone it till now..

That’s what I think now – I just wonder if that was the real reason all along (and not “caring for webmasters”).
Why doesn’t Google roll out its next update: http://bit.ly/4wJu17 my blog post about it.

Honestly, not even sure why Google tells us anything. It’s not like they’re going to show us all the variables in the algorithm.
Personally, I like to control what I can and not worry too much about Google. So I’ll stick to delivering quality content and let my sites grow as organically as I can.

I agree. As long as you stick to white-hat techniques, you shouldn’t need to worry about the algorithmic changes. Stick to high quality contents and natural backlinks and you should be fine.

There must be few changes of Google algorithm and nobody knows what are they. So the best can we do is to do it by implementing right SEO techniques. Thanks for sharing mate
