Vectors are a mathematical representation of how words are related to each other.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">RankBrain is the third most important signal of Google\u2019s Hummingbird search algorithm, which drives the overall search process to determine what results should appear on SERPs and where they are ranked.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is not a new search algorithm or standalone program like Hummingbird, panda or penguin. RankBrain is an update or modification applied to the Hummingbird search algorithm.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is not similar to Knowledge Graph. The Google Knowledge Graph is an artificial intelligence program too, but they both have different purposes. The top carousel ad when you search for movies or star casting and suggestions to explore more for related topics at the right side are the examples of Knowledge Graph. RankBrain process the search queries and come up with the most relevant pages for your search. In other words, it decides the page ranking.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s handles around 15% of Google\u2019s daily search queries. These 15% queries are complex and never seen before. RankBrain is helping Google to better interpret and effectively translate these queries.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is not programmed to respond to specific search queries. It has the ability to learn and it is improving with time.

It is not a new search engine and it will not impact crawling and indexing ability of Google. The Hummingbird algorithm is composed of numerous components and RankBrain is one of them. Our basic SEO strategy will still be the same. RankBrain is giving an opportunity for marketers and business owners to understand their target audience and focus on quality content.
