Panda hit on-site elements. Penguin mainly focused on
off-site issues. Zebra is going to town on social
Too many retweets with keywords included around a
link (spammy)
Facebook updates with too many shares from people not

Any Google+ shares as this will look spammy (Google+
is a graveyard right, so any activity looks suspicious?!)

Google told us the name being come from being
“precise and fast”
Example - “What’s the closest place to buy the

words — finding a page that says “buy” and
“iPhone 5s,” for example.
Hummingbird - better answer of the long tail
queries.
