*Site Speed matters to the search engines and not just to your visitors so don't ignore it.

*Personalized Search means not everyone will see the same results. It has been suggested that 20% of the results are personalized  if you haven't paused your web history settings in Google.
 
*Universal Search; showing up now requires attention to different indexes-news, video, images, local and book search engines.

*Real-Tme Search is already starting to dominate search results. Have you noticed?

*Changes in Local Search and frequent tweaks made by Google; stay on top of the latest developments.

*Linking Strategies include a focus on one-way inbound links. Research is indicating that reciprocal links now cancel each other out.

*Most importantly,  change is the only constant so keep up with the latest in industry developments.
