The algorithm improvements are expected to have a significant impact on search results and organic traffic for many websites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the details of most of the big changes coming to Google.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><b>Google BERT \u2014 at almost 100% now<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year, when Google BERT was announced, it was confirmed that the AI algorithm would affect approximately 10 percent of search queries. Now, Google BERT is affecting nearly 100% of English queries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you missed it, Google BERT is a natural language processing (NLP) technology that helps Google understand specific words within the context of the surrounding words. The purpose of Google BERT is to show more relevant and contextual results to users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cToday, we\u2019re excited to share that BERT is now used in almost every query in English, helping you get higher quality results for your questions.\u201d \u2014 Google.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Passages<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another significant update is that Google is now able to rank specific passages in a web page as if they were separate web pages. Google is expecting this new breakthrough to impact 7 percent of total search queries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Google:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve recently made a breakthrough in ranking and are now able to not just index web pages, but individual passages from the pages. By better understanding the relevancy of specific passages, not just the overall page, we can find that needle-in-a-haystack information you\u2019re looking for.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This technology will improve 7 percent of search queries across all languages as we roll it out globally.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>A new algorithm for understanding misspelled words<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was always a frustrating experience for SEO professionals when Google couldn\u2019t recognize misspelled words properly. But perhaps that\u2019s about to be fixed now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Google, the new spelling algorithm is the biggest improvement in understanding misspelled words in the last five years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Video searches<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google has also developed new AI techniques to understand different sections within videos. This will allow Google to understand the query, find the specific relevant section within a video, and send users directly to that section, instead of ranking the full video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Google, the search engine has already started using this technology, and by the end of 2020, it estimated an impact of roughly 10% of searches.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from the big changes mentioned above, there are a few more changes announced by Google.
