First Penguin, then Hummingbird and now RankBrain, there is no stopping Google with its whole list of updates. As we leave 2016 and move on to 2017, the SEO market is seeing a shift in the autonomy of Google as the premier search engine. Facebook and Yahoo have come from behind with their own algorithm modifications and are set to compete against this favorite brand.

What does this tussle do to you? As a person looking to rank his/her page, it means more updates and more criterions in the upcoming year. Based on the current scenario, the following SEO trends are likely to prevail, and you may have to modify your existing website. Take a note and start evolving.

1. Voice Search is set to dominate

Microsoft has already declared that it has made the Cortana more human-like. Siri is not behind as well. So, all the searches now performed are likely to be more of that conversation pattern.

So, no longer will your page be searched based on “best Chinese food”. Expect things to change to “nearest Chinese restaurant serving the best Kung-Pao chicken”. In short, keywords are set to become more conversational.

IMDb

IMDb is the movie site.It has instant levels of traffic, all based on movies and TV.The first step in deciding whether a site could be good to market on is to determine whether your audience uses it.Since we’re not looking at the biggest sites (search engines and social media), only certain audiences will be found on each site.If your audience isn’t on IMDb, I promise that they are on some other large sites.Since IMDb has a very specific focus, it’s really only good if you sell products related to movies and TV.But if you do, it could be an opportunity.Because you won’t be able to drive traffic from every site that your target audience uses back to yours.You have to look for a way to drive that traffic back.In this case, there is one chance, and it comes from the active forum community on 1MDb
