What Is Google's Caffeine?

What Is Google's Caffeine?

What is Google's Caffeine? It is the new Algorithm update that Google will begin rolling out soon, if it's not already rolled out. Best guess is, it will mean better way of crawling the web, better at determining authority and reputation, beyond the typical PageRank, and speed.

Currently, per Google's Matt Cutts, Google's Caffeine is only going live at one of Google's data centers, but will eventually see full implementation after the holidays. Why? They didn't want to upset webmasters by releasing it before the holidays. I think that's a great idea, turmoil before the holidays can make for a great case of indigestion, and a restless holiday(s).

Google's Caffeine will not look or feel any different from the now popular Google search engine, but will work behind the scenes to improve performance-faster, better and more flexible results.

Undoubtedly, the new year will find web developers and search engine optimization people working hard to try and figure out the new algorithm changes against that of the old algorithm. Ah yes, in with the new, out with the old-and new headaches.
