The Algorithm:

PageRank
Simpler times. Spammier times, too.

SERPs All Looked Like This:
Via Google’s 10th Birthday post: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/09/google-time-machine-web-in-2001.html

SEO Meant a Few Fundamentals
Make good content, make it accessible, target the right keywords… That was pretty much it!
![Page 8: 2011-11 Chennai Social Media Summit Keynote](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5400ae808d7f728b408b49a1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
And a Lot of Link Building
Links were pretty much everything once you got a crawlable, keyword-targeted page set up.

Hello Spam!
Even Rand bought some of these back in the day…

Fast Forward 7 Years

Local/Maps is on the Rise
Matt McGee charted the astounding rise of Google Maps/Local starting in 2008: http://www.smallbusinesssem.com/charting-the-undeniable-growth-of-google-maps/1046/

There’s a Few New Protocols
The Sitemaps.org homepage literally hasn’t changed since February of 2008!

But Not Much Else Has Changed
In early 2009, I wrote a post about the shift in importance of algorithmic factors at Google: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-googles-rankings-algorithm-has-changed-over-time-
![Page 15: 2011-11 Chennai Social Media Summit Keynote](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5400ae808d7f728b408b49a1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Jump Ahead… to 2011

SERPs Rarely Look Like This Anymore
It took me serious time to find a query this sparse
![Page 18: 2011-11 Chennai Social Media Summit Keynote](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5400ae808d7f728b408b49a1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
They Look Like This:
Google’s instant answers are getting more detailed and sophisticated, as illustrated by http://www.google.com/search?q=nfl+schedule+2011
![Page 19: 2011-11 Chennai Social Media Summit Keynote](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5400ae808d7f728b408b49a1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
And This:
News results, shopping results and video snippets + the new, shrunken sitelinks for the top result
![Page 20: 2011-11 Chennai Social Media Summit Keynote](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5400ae808d7f728b408b49a1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
And This:
Awesome!

And This:
Personalization and social sharing dominate the page because I’m logged in.

Rich Snippets & Schema.org

And Social Annotations
Not only are the results annotated with the share / social data; they also outrank the top result
![Page 26: 2011-11 Chennai Social Media Summit Keynote](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5400ae808d7f728b408b49a1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SERPs Are Almost Always Personalized
Search history, social networks, previous clicks and more impact personalization + rankings

And Geographically Biased, Too
Geography impacts both search result ordering and search suggestions/instant

Search Barely Requires Typing
BTW – I tried this same search from Portland vs. Yoder, and “Fox News” is not a top suggestion, but “Firefox “and “Fred Meyer” both are

Misspellings are a Thing of the Past
A few years back, there would be entire sessions at conferences on SEO for misspellings

Instant Answers are Everywhere
Google even offered instant answers as to the sexual orientation of celebrities: http://gawker.com/5844769/google-will-now-tell-you-which-celebrities-are-gay (but the feature appears to have been removed)

Brands Can Now Dominate Entire Pages
Nothing but Apple.com from top to bottom
