Since most of the people who usual read this will either be still
celebrating the Thanksgiving Holiday or out shopping, I will try
and keep this newsletter very short.

Since Google told everyone about Google Caffeine last summer and
gave us a Sandbox URL where we could check our sites and rankings
in Google’s new search engine, I have been very concerned about how
all these changes will affect my sites and rankings. You should also
be very concerned about it too!

Actually, I have become a bit obsessed with it mainly because I am a
full-time search engine marketer and my livelihood depends on achieving
high rankings in Google.

Now, that Caffeine URL has been closed by Google, (www2.sandbox.google.com)
but one datacenter is now using the Caffeine search results. After
the holidays, Google will roll out the full version of Caffeine.

Needless to say, major updates in Google can be devastating for
online marketers and webmasters if your keywords disappear from
the first page listings. Many online marketers are holding their
breaths and wondering just what Caffeine will bring…

I have written a rather long article (sorry) on this whole
issue and given my views on Caffeine. Keep in mind, this is my
own observations of how my keywords reacted in the Sandbox URL,
no doubt, Google has made adjustments since then and what actually
happens with the full version of Google’s “Next Generation” search
engine goes live… is anyone’s guess. But you can find my views
on Caffeine and what it could mean for your site and keywords here:

If you’re a regular reader of this ezine you will also know I am
a full-time affiliate marketer. I make my living from selling other
people’s stuff – mostly electronics and corporate business gifts.

All this week, I have been gathering all the major discounts
and deals my affiliate companies are offering… and placing
them on my sites. It’s been rather hectic but there are some
great deals from top-brand name companies… Apple, HP, Dell,
Lenovo, Alienware… as well as some big online retailers like
Amazon, Buy.com, MacMalls, Geeks.com… you can save a lot
of money by using these coupons and discount links. We will
be updating these coupons/discounts thru Black Friday/Cyber
Monday as new deals come online.

Anyway if you’re in the market for some gifts or you just like
getting some great bargains check out these pages:

Google Caffeine – Are You Ready For It?


……………………………..
Update to the Post Below:

The Google Caffeine Sandbox URL has now been taken down by Google.
While Caffeine has not been rolled out (as of yet) it will be live in at
least one data center before it’s fully implemented – according to Matt Cutts
in an interview given here:
http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2009/11/10/

We have assurances that Caffeine won’t be fully introduced until after
the holidays – if we can take Google at its word.
…………………………..


We were first told about Google Caffeine last summer and
it caused a big stir. Well, at least among webmasters
and search engine marketers, the general public couldn’t
care less!

However, if you’re a webmaster or doing any type of
promotion/marketing on the web you better become
familiar with Google Caffeine. It’s in your best
interests to find out all you can about it because
it may affect your site’s rankings and traffic.


What is Google Caffeine?

It is the codename given Google’s next-generation
search infrastructure which is supposedly going to replace
Google’s current index system. In other words, this is
Google’s updating or modernizing of how it indexes pages
on the web. It is supposed to be much faster, more accurate
and more relevant than the current Google.


Why should you care about Google Caffeine?

If you’re a webmaster or marketer Google Caffeine will
affect your site’s rankings once it comes on stream.
That is, your current keyword rankings which you now have
in Google may not be the same in the new improved Google
Caffeine.


Is there a way to check my keyword rankings in the new
Google Caffeine?


Perhaps, all indications are that using the developer preview at

http://www2.sandbox.google.com

will give you some indication of what your Google Caffeine
rankings will look like. This URL is backed up by Matts Cutts
(main Google spokesperson) on his blog. And checking your site
and keywords rankings thru this sandbox is probably a good idea.

However, word of caution, Google NEVER lays all of its cards on
the table – nor should it, especially when you’re running a
multi-trillion dollar company whose life-blood is online search.
It must protect the integrity of its main asset which is
it’s index.

Actually, I am just hoping this Google Caffeine or parts of it
is not already live… because I did a lot of checking with the
URL above and my sites go up with the new index. Presently, I
am not seeing much movement in my rankings. A few have gone down
and a few have gone up – just the general normal swing that I see
from week to week in Google.

Will Google launch Caffeine during the vital Holiday Season???
In the past, a few major Updates have come just before Christmas.

When Google Caffeine actually hits is anyone’s guess, but
it’s probably coming soon, if not already implemented in some
stages. The more important question for you and your site – will
it be a mild seasonal storm or full-blown Category Five Hurricane?


Here’s how you can do a simple check:

1. Open up two browsers or windows on your computer:

http://www.google.com

and

http://www2.sandbox.google.com

2. Compare & Check how many links you get when you place
these into both Google search engines:

links:www.yoursitename.com
link:www.yoursitename.com

links:http://www.yoursitename.com
link:http://www.yoursitename.com

3. Now, do the same for your major keywords and compare
the results.


I hope both your site and keywords still hold-up in Google’s
new search engine.
