Google ranking depends on these factors

varun1182 · #1 (**permalink**) 21st June 2006, 09:05 PM

Ever wondered why the same search query can give you different set of results and SERP when two people from different location view the result because it depends on mainly three factors- data center you hit, location of the PC and personalized search results feature turned on. Data centres use different set of pages indexed and use slightly different algorithms for major search engines like google.Also the search engines look at your search history and other preferences and tailor the results specifically for you. As you can imagine, this will have an impact on the results you see for a particular query.

Wow, interesting stuff,
so, you mean with the right knowledge, anyone can rank high in Google?

varun1182 · #3 (**permalink**) 22nd June 2006, 06:53 AM

well the article did not give a guarantee of any sorts that if u do this then u will be ranked higher. it only says that apart from applying every SEO technique if the results vary for the same query then it could be due to following factors. I think it is a misinterpretation of tthe article

dear hillebille u cud TRY these tips:
Update regularly, consistently, and with high quality content. Opinion pieces often do better than reprinting news -- people can get their teeth into it and will backlink you if you have a unique insight. This will get you organic links, 10x more valuable than constantly trying to circulate your site throughout the net.

2. Get your site linked from other sites with a high PR. Circulate your site as much as possible.

3. Optimise the code on your site to make it as lean as possible. Separate content from style with XHTML and CSS. Put content higher up the document, be sure to use semantically correct HTML - judicious use of em and strong tags; headlines and important information in h tags. Proper use of anchor text for internal links (no "click here"s).

4. Submit to Dmoz.

I hope it solves your problem

I do not agree to it.. it doesnt give equal chance to each.. one interesting thing, that I have noticed about google is, they pay a much importance to the age of the site.. eg, few of my sites . www.chemicalhouse.com , www.galaxyweblinks.com .. they are 7-8 yrs old and comes on top of google though, I have not SEOed it . its just the age that is playing the major role.. I dont know if its correct to believe this. but i have discovered it..

As far as the main topic is concerned, I came across a site to detect the imovement of information in some data centers and this can be use to predict updates.

I feel I have to add some perspective here.

As one who regularly helps promote sites in Google and other engines I can honestly say I know what it takes.

While having new content regularly appear on the site is a great idea, unless its written properly and compelling not many people will link to it.

You see links are what drive Google popularity - ultimately the site with the most links will rank the highest. Therefore link building is a must. It must occur on an ongoing basis for your site to rank highly.

Now I know I'm greatly over simplifying the issue but at it's core links are the key to google rankings.

However the picture does get a little muddy when you realize that the best links are those google considers quality links.

In other words, while a high PageRank link is good, it is better if it's from a related or relevant site to your own.

Let me illustrate with an example: If you sell vacuum cleaners on your website, a link from Microsoft won't help you as much as one from Beam. That is because Microsoft is neither relevant nor related to you, however Beam is, so ultimately that lower PR link from Beam is worth more to you than the higher PR Microsoft link.

Now, that being said, it doesn't mean you should only go for sites that are related to your own. After all, that will get very difficult over time.

The truth is, almost any link you get will help, it's just the degree in which it will help. As I said above, while the link from Beam would be worth more to you, in fact the link from Microsoft is also worthy because it will contribute to your overall link popularity.

Consider link building like comparing 2 retailers: Walmart sells much more product at a reduced margin. However because of all that volume, their earnings are high. A smaller store may sell less, but at a higher profit margin per unit. Their net earnings at the end of the year can be similar to Walmarts with less units sold.

Link building is very similar - you can get the same effect from 1000 "so-so" links as 100 "good" links, and 10 "exceptional" links. The question becomes, what does Google consider "so-so" "good" and "exceptional" (these are my terms, I don't know what google calls them

).

i like the one with Beam as the example, coz it's very true, link only to highly relevant websites and you're bound to get highly accurate visitors that you're looking for

yes , link building is a vital part in building the community , take steps to have blogs or other websites link to your website. You can do this by asking your suppliers, customers, industry association sites, to link to your site. Solid, relevant links from bona fide websites to your site greatly increase your search engine results as well as your visibility on those other websites. but make sure not to over do it as the irrelevant linking and linking in bulk with link backs is ignored by the search engines and then it might take some time to rank your site again .
