January 19, 2012; Google has made improvement in Page Layout Algorithm
Google has made improvement in Page layout algorithm to help you find more high-quality websites in search results. So sites that don’t have much content “above-the-fold
” can be affected by this change. If you click on a website and the part of the website you see first either doesn’t have a lot of visible content above-the-fold or dedicates a large fraction of the site’s initial screen real estate to ads, that’s not a very good user experience. Such sites may not rank as highly going forward.
This algorithmic change noticeably affects less than 1% of searches globally. That means that in less than one in 100 searches, a typical user might notice a reordering of results on the search page.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Google has launched support for explicit annotations for web pages rendering the same content with different language templates.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 18, 2011; Google has made a major change to the way secure search works for signed in users of its services. If a user is signed into a Google account, any search performed will now be done on a secure socket layer (SSL) and will no
longer pass the search term referrer data. When a signed in user visits your site from an organic Google search, all web analytics services, including Google Analytics, will continue to recognize the visit as Google “organic” search, but will no longer report the query terms that the user searched on to reach your site. However, Google have also said that search term referrer data will be passed to advertisers who use their pay-per-click product. If you don’t have a Google Account or not signed in your account, you can directly navigate to https://www.google.com/. This change will be effective in the next few weeks.
