Google Brings Changes
A couple weeks ago, Google changed its algorithm to give preference to 'mobile-friendly' sites when users perform a search on a mobile device. The change was coined as 'Mobilegeddon' because of the potential to bury websites that haven't been optimized to display correctly on various sizes of mobile devices, while also boosting the ranking of mobile-friendly sites.

Next , they had Google+ influencers share the page, as well as a handful of other participants who were instructed to only share the page, not visit or link to it in any other way.
Awards for Semantic Technology
Google has awarded over $1.2 million to support research in several areas of several natural language understanding that relate to Google's concept of the Knowledge Graph. This substantial investment in machine learning is motivated by their need to further search technology.
