Breadcrumbs in Google search result : New Google's Algorithm update

Google's Algorithm update made Breadcrumbs in Google search results default instead of showing page url. This is applied only for mobile search and there is a chance that Google may roll out new algorithm to show breadcrumbs even in desktop search.

Earlier Google said in their developer forum, they are working on schema markings for breadcrumbs and will be rolled out once finalised.

Google already made a breadcrumbs change in search results with each tag having a link to the page, that is you can click on each tag on breadcrumbs. Later Google disabled links in tags and made it only texts.

If you are using Google search in mobile, you may have noticed ununiformity in google breadcrumbs, some sites may have links and others have url. To end this Google rolled out an algorithm to uniformly display breadcrumbs instead of urls.

Google also announced that breadcrumbs would have Sitename as starting tag in US while in other countries site's url will be displayed as starting tag.

So its time to concentrate on your site structure and optimise it to get better results in search snippets.

For Newbies don't know about Breadcrumbs:

Breadcrumbs are a line of tags which is normally seen in top of the posts mostly in all blogs. According to Google,

A breadcrumb trail is a set of links (breadcrumbs) that can help a user understand and navigate your site's hierarchy.

Enable breadcrumbs in your blogs which will help Google bots to understand your site's hierarchy better.

If you want to customize your breadcrumbs appearance in Google search, you can optimise it using Seo plugin by yoast. Yoast gives you many customising options like making last tag bolder.

Guys, What do you think about this Google's new customization of breadcrumbs? Share your thoughts through comments and appreciate us through subscribing.

What is SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) ?

SEO stands for Search engine optimisation. SEO is the process of modifying or optimising content or website to place it in top of the search engine results.

According to Wikipedia,

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a websiteor a web page in a search engine's unpaid results - often referred to as "natural," "organic," or "earned" results.

The web page which contains correct keyword density, backlinks, inbound links will rank higher. Generally SEO can be classified as black hat SEO and White hat SEO.

For Newbies, the terms may confuse so instead of merely answering "What is SEO? ", I am going to define all the basic terms related to SEO.

1) Keyword Density:

Keyword density is defined as the ratio or percentage of specific keyword to total number of words in the web page. The keyword density should be around 1 to 3%. If the article is over polluted with keyword, search engine may consider it as Spam.

2) Backlinks:

Backlinks is generally incoming links from one web page to other web page. Now a days, backlinks are more important for top search ranking and also backlinks are one of the factors in determining PageRank of a web page. More trustable backlinks, more trustable the web page is.

3) PageRank:

PageRank is one of the factors considered by Google to show results in search engines. The top places in search engines are occupied by high PR web pages.

According to Google,

PageRank works by counting the number and quality of links to a page to determine a rough estimate of how important the website is. The underlying assumption is that more important websites are likely to receive more links from other websites.

PageRanks are alloted from 0 to 10. Higher the number, higher the PageRank.

4) Organic Traffic:

Organic traffic, also known as natural traffic or earned traffic. The traffic which is achieved from search engine results is organic traffic. And the word traffic here intimate the human visitors who reads or visit your site.

5) White hat SEO:

White hat SEO, also called ethical SEO. When a webmaster optimise his website to search engine within the search engine's rules and policy is called white hat SEO. White hat SEO includes keyword optimising, manual backlinks building, writing contents both for readers and search engines.

6) Black hat SEO:

Black hat SEO is unethical way of search engine optimisation. Black hat SEO doesn't obey search engine rules and some of the common black hat techniques are keyword stuffing, using invisible texts, doorway pages etc.

Actually, these type of sites are not built for human readers but for Search engines to earn money quickly by placing lots of ads. Sites using black hat SEO are considered as spamming site and blocked by search engines.

These are the some of the commonly used search engine optimisation terms. Did I missed anything?  Tell us through commenting.

How to write a blog post?

Writing a blog post is like, giving life to your blog. Blog posts are the important part of your blog, because readers visit your blog only for those posts not for your blog design or ads. So more lovely your posts, more readers you would get.

Friends, I gonna share some tips which will answer your question " How to write a blog post? "

1) Be Unique :

Concentrate more on uniqueness of your posts. Don't copy some other's post and paste on your blog, It will spoil your blog's creditably.

Don't be one in thousands, Be unique.

More unique your content, more fans you would get.

2) Give your post, a beautiful name:

Impress your audience with words..

Choose more appropriate and impressive title which compel reader to click on your post. In search engines, more impressive titles works better than unimpressive one.

3) Give a Physique :

Like your body physique, giving a physique to your post is important. Even if you have more ideas or information on topic but if you fail to write those information in a well organised manner it won't perform well.

Before writing, map a structure in your mind, how are you going to organise the information?

I always write my posts in the following structure..

• Introduce : introduce about your topic in few lines.


• Subject : briefly outline your topic.


• Content: write the information as points if possible.


• Conclusion : finally conclude your post with your own view.


• Call for action: you done a great job, so you have to get reward for it right? Always end your post with call for action like asking readers to comment or suscribe to blog.

4) Make your post beautiful:

Friends,  I challenge you, you can't see even a single post in my blog without picture. Inserting a picture into posts makes it beautiful, also photos register in user's mind more easily. So it will help readers to remember your post.

5) Don't be serious:

Even though, you are a serious blogger, don't show your seriousness in your posts always. Try to add some funny lines or ideas in your posts which makes your readers to enjoy.

In my own experience, I read one post in some other's blog, That author wrote about some offer. After sharing about offer he finished the post with lines "Don't run to laptop, go slow, offer will be available this whole day..!" With these lines, he made a point that offer will be available whole day also he registered about that in mind.

This is how I write my posts, No need to follow my foots but create your own style which will attract your audience.
