The important updates will be officially announced but still some are kept secret because people may misuse the system.

Over the years we have seen lot of changes took place in SEO field but all the changes are done with the objective to provide the best content for the query typed on search engines along with good user experience.

Your business may be personal or professional both needs SEO optimization for better ranking on search engine to get more traffic (Users) to your site.

Why do you need to rank on the first page of the search engine?
