Google rules everything around me. This is the future:

1. WordPress.com and Google News Initiative are in bed together. This means any website or blog or news agency on WordPress is going to be favored.
2. Google will become the news agency. All news sites will eventually become assimilated into Google. Publishers dependent on Google Adsense to monetize and to transmit and publish their works.
3. Websites or blogs with Google Adsense will probably be more low key (subtly) favored and might rank higher.
4. The more you publish, the better.
5. Optimize your site and blog with Google Website Speed Insights. The higher score you will rank higher in Google.
6. Google owns YouTube. YouTube and your website and blog integration is better.
7. Google Amp (Accelerated Mobile Pages) will be favored.
8. WordPress “Newspack” theme will be favored. Install it on your WordPress.org site (an open source version exists; I’m currently using it on my site).
