Google Ranking Factors

Well here is another interesting study. I am participating in different SEO forums and sometimes I disagree with so called "SEO gurus". Well if a guy has the most posts and a big sign under his username that he is the biggest poster that does not mean that he is a good SEO. I recommend him spending more time researching the true ranking factors.

He tried to convince me that having the keywords in domain is not important at all. And I know that is not true and it will probably never be. Well I would rather see that search engines would not put so much importance on keywords in domain because let's face it - best domains are already taken - registered.

o this guy was going on and on how the domain name has nothing to do with the web site ranking. Well I hope he reads this study from German Company Sistrix, that recently analyzed around 10,000 web sites and importance of different ranking factors.
Here are different ranking factors explained and shown in graph from Sistrix study.

Most of you know that search engines are kind of lazy when indexing sites. Most of the sites are only partially indexed, that means that search engines bots visit and take a snapshot of only limited percentage of all the pages.

This depends on how popular the site is, how many incoming links does it have, what is the PR of the site etc.

But that is another story. Usually if the site is popular it has around 80 % pages indexed. I am not counting myspace pages, blogs that are in most cases not indexed because they don’t have enough incoming links.

I must say I am very happy that both of our teams are working together. We just established a London based team one week ago that offers the same search engine optimization services as we do. We cover 2 most important countries in the world.

There is such a big demand in UK for Search engine optimization so I decided that we should open an office and start accepting new projects from UK clients.

You can check all the supplemental results by typing the following command into Google search box.

Filters, Penalties And Search Engine Optimization

Original content is one of the most important parts of each web site. A lot of internet sites are simply duplicating the content from other sites. And that is bad. So be sure to prepare for side effects if you are using a lot of duplicate content.

It is really simple to just copy and paste the content from other sites, that the other guy has spent few hours creating it.

Well Google is monitoring that and can punish your site for having duplicate content.

I mean you can have a little duplicate content on your site, it will not hurt you, but you may waste some of your link authority.

Here is another one. This time I took few screenshots so you can see how I did it.
