Editor's Notes
- Google separates the wheat from the chaff. The Google algorithm decides which content is “wheat” and which is “chaff” – relevant content versus spam. They are getting better at that by updating their algorithm.
- When the algorithm wasn’t as complex as it is today, people claimed to have found the “golden nugget”: the One Big Ranking factor that potentially had the largest effect on good ranking positions. We can compare this type of SEO with a simple pocket knife: there are only a couple of tools to chose from.
- As a result of all the updates there is a wide range of factors that influence search results. All of those potentially correlate with good ranking positions.
- Because google values content with an algorithm, we can study how Google manages to do so. We are interested in knowing which factors Google’s algorithm takes into account when valuing content. This way Searchmetrics is able to explain how tweaks in the algorithm impact the performance of websites in search engines.
- As a result, search results have become more relevant and SEO has become far more complex.
- A google algorithm update is no more than tweaking “ranking factors” in the algorithm. We will have a look at two major types of updates: panda and penguin.
- … and consequently make suggestions based on how the best performing competitors have built their content.
- Prevent these things from happening by monitoring these factors. Example: 50% similarity to another well-ranking URL and 15 (!) pieces of content on only 4 keywords…
- Again, by studying the algorithm we can find correlating factors that value good content. Penguin is an update about backlinks. Our studies show that the impact correlating link factors have changed, for instance between 2012 and 2013.
- For example, this factor used to correlate well with higher ranking positions, but its weight has now been heavily reduced.
- So Searchmetrics provides that data as well.
