Google Algorithm Predictions for 2016
Looking into the future of Google
In 2015 we saw another major Google algorithm update. Affectionately known as ‘Mobilegeddon’, the update is focused on achieving better search results for mobile device users. This has made the mobile user experience more reliable by showing search results of mobile optimised websites.
Google announced the change in February 2015 with the release date of the 21st of April.

Google’s A.I. Deep Learning System Just Got Smarter
Computers are learning, and learning fast. The idea that computers can be taught something, and can even teach themselves, is nothing new. Arthur Samuel famously taught a computer to learn how to not only play but beat him at checkers. The machine went on to beat an American state champion. Computer learning is all around us; simply look at Google’s self-driving cars which have managed to self-drive over 1 million miles. So when a computer learns to do something that we cannot do, or it learns to do something better than humans can, what do we call this? This is Artificial Intelligence (A.I.).
