Each year, Google changes its search algorithm around 500–600 times. While most of these changes are minor, Google occasionally rolls out a “major” algorithmic update (such as Google Panda and Google Penguin) that affects search results in significant ways.
Wondering what’s new with Google search?
- Core updates?
- Mobile-first indexing?
- Rich Snippets?
- Zero result SERPS?
- Is a “major” algorithmic change in the pipeline?
- What steps can you make to ensure that your website keeps up with their ever-changing algorithm updates?

A new study puts Miami’s efforts to shift its economy away from its traditional hospitality base towards higher-skilled services into perspective—but also shows that an old problem may be rearing its head.
In its annual “Scoring Tech Talent in North America” report, real estate group CBRE calculates that between 2012 and 2017, Miami added 4,080 tech jobs, representing a 21.5% increase over that time period.
Miami companies are underpaying their high-skilled workers, making the cost of living seem much higher.
Even better news: Miami is now producing thousands of tech-degree graduates—6,025 over the past 5 years, CBRE says. That includes degrees like computer engineering, math, and statistics.
