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.

Keyword in Title Tag


Here is this graph you can see that it is important to have the keywords in title tag. Title tags are one of the most important ranking factors. Especially in Google. You can see the title tag on the top of your browser and in the html code under

<title> Title of the page</title>

 

in the <head> section of your html code.

Keyword in the Body of the page


Also here is evident that having the keywords in the body of the page is really important.
You can see that this is especially important for the first 10 positions in SERPs.

H1 tags Ranking Factor


You can always put the titles of the text (not the meta title) in H1 tags. The title would look like this
<h1>Title of my article</h1>. And if we believe this research the H1 tags are not so important in ranking, probably because they were misused by many SEOs.

Titles H2 - H6 Ranking Factors


Well it is different with H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 tags that you can also use for different sections of you text as subtitles for example. Well the German company claims that having these tags is really beneficial for better ranking

Image Filenames Ranking Factor

Well this one is a surprise. I was more focused on alt tags of the images. Well obviously having a filenames of the images rich in keywords helps getting better SERPs ranking. SO use your keywords in your image filenames. You can use for example:

keywordphrase.jpg
keywordphrase2.jpg
keywordphrase3.jpg

Images - Alt Tags Ranking Factor

Image alt tags can be seen if you hover over an image for few seconds with mouse cursor. Ten a small text displays over the image. Well this is called Image Alt Tag. Well I recommend always put your keywords into alt tags of all your images.

Keywords In Filepaths Rankign Factor

Keywords in file paths or the parameters in a dynamic web site
Having keyrods in the the urls filepaths for dynamic pages did not bring any positive effects.

Page Size Ranking Factor

Having pages with smaller size is also very important. You can see that it is better to have smaller page size. So try to use smaller size for pictures, less flash and less java script.
