    I was reading this today which was talking about Googles new Algo going live after the holidays and one interesting point that came up was the fact that alot of people thing that google "already" counts site speed as a part of ranking sites. However In this interview Matt states clearly that this is only now being implemented into their new Algo ( caffeine ) after the holidays .

    What are your thoughts on this ?

    This is really going to hurt people who stay with cheap, old, slow servers.

    I agree to their interest is in the content of the site and I think people also want a site to load quickly specially those searchers who is always on hurry with I don't know why (though i do that too sometimes), if the site can load fast visitors can see what you have in your site otherwise they will abandon and close it then look something else. IMO, I would prefer the quick one.

    Im a little concerned for a couple of my sites, hopefully SERPs wont be affected to much, im hoping that this update will mainly effect e-commerce sites rather than anything else but who knows what google is doing lol

    Google Caffeine is working good with search results. It helps us to get relevant results with high speed .

    I think that Google caffeine is much more effective than the classic Google Search and will deliver fast searching and give much relevant results. New Google relies more on keywords so it will be more harder for the part of SEO's and webmaster to rank well on the new Google Search. It will be an advantage for site that has a faster server if they consider site's speed a factor to their new algo.

    I suppose it depends on whether Google judges the speed of your home page loading or the speed of your photo gallery/portofolio page loading - I know with a few sites I have a photo gallery page that obviously loads slower that the rest of the site.

    Also, if the site displays a fair amount of the content whilst the final few images ares till loading then that's not so bad???

    I don't think it is a good idea for Google to include site speed as a ranking factor for site speed might depend on many factors and some of them are not under the site owner control. :)

    Thanks,
