After all the black and white animals have rolled out, what do you think will be the next big update on 2013 for Google?

I'll start with my prediction:

Google will give more credit on Google plus social signs, and they will basically force all of us promote their social network.

What's yours?

I just took authorship off a blog post and saw it drop ~5 pages in the rankings.

This is already happening, to an extent - very dependant on the type of content and niche though.
 
My SEO predictions are that Matt Cutts will fall in love with Wickedfire in 2013. We already know he visits the forum daily. Once he finally realizes how awesome we are, all services in the BST will really have that "Secret Sauce". I have no other predictions other than that links will still be crucial.

Whoa, think they'll all be used up sometime in 2013? we've still got a few to go:

Zebras
White Tigers
skunks
Ospreys
Lemurs
Magpies
Killer Whales
etc...

But either way it goes, I predict G is going downhill because they broke their cardinal rule and gave in to paid search placement.

From here on it's just like the american government... There's no way to backpedal, it's all a race to the bottom.

So I'd say some time in 2013 G'll put more and more emphasis on its' paid results (yes in the serps, not on the side) and despite catching even more heat for it they'll keep on doing stupid shit to make the next buck.

I can't see anyway out of this trend for them. It may take them another decade to be replaced as the #1 search engine, but they're goners no matter what from this point.

(Note: As search only. Their plans to take over the US power grid, and driver-less cars, among others, are coming along quite nicely.)
 
Google will update something, hundreds of SEOs will piss and moan, "SEO is dead", smart people will keep making money.


This and there will always some loophole to be exploited as long as Google displays organic results. It's always been a cat and mouse game and it's bound to stay like that.

I think authorship will get huge...
Not a big deal because you get better CTR with a pic next your post!

If everybody will have a pic next to your post, what's the advantage...the better looking one wins?
 
All I know is I fucking hate google, google authorship, google plus, google communities, groups, google rich fucking snippets tool structured data whatever the fuck dumbass bullshit.

srsly, the product is fucking inferior and they're trying to shove it down everyone's throat. Stick to search you fags.

AND FUCK YOU MATT CUTTS
