Google Ranking Factors

[ujju]

Hi,

I think, there are many different factors that fall into place when determining where a website ranks in the Google search engine results.

Some things to keep in mind are -
1)URL Structure
2)Internal Link Structure
3)Keywords
4)Bounce Rate
5)Inbound & Outbound links

I amply admit other suggestion.

The most impotent factor is Quality Content, Backlink, Site navigation.

Sites' positions in google search results are determined based on a number of factors designed to provide end-users with helpful, accurate search results. These factors are explained in more detail at http://www.google.com/corporate/tech.html.

When Google was created it solved one key problem. By using links as a measure of quality and anchor text as a signal of relevance, Google bypassed the spam. If someone puts up a Doorway page for the search engines or stuffs keywords in white text on a white background (1998 spam) and we miss it, no big deal. If the page doesn’t have quality content, no-one will link to it.

Thanks for sharing the post. We are using the On page and Off page methods for better ranking in the SERP.The On page helps to improve the PR of the site.This can help to get more back links.The link building method helps to get traffic and back links.This will improve the indexing of the site.

The most important ranking factor is link building. A variety of permanent and diverse links from a variety of sources. Besides link building, these factors are also very important:

1) Title
2) Description
3) Header tags (H1 to H6)
4) Keyword domain name (try to take out a domain with your target keywords in it)

If you do all of the above properly, and are patient, you will eventually rank well

Great list of factors submit!

Most of the items listed in every section work well in many search engines not just Google.

I would say a sitemap is important if you have a bigger site.

I would also say in the "factors that may count against you" to watch out for building up reciprocal inbound links to quickly. The one-ways do not matter as much, because there is no way to control who links to you (if your site is popular you may get 1000's of one-way links overnight). It is my belief that the only links NOT to build to quickly are reciprocal ones that Google may view as a "non-natural" link.

Another great addition to the "links" section on your list would be a submission to DMOZ directory (http://www.dmoz.org). Dmoz results are used in the Google Directory and show up near the top of search engine results pages all over targeted keyword terms. Dmoz allows webmasters to use their results as suplimental search results in website directories, or as a full site directory or even just one or two categories. Since they allow this that means depending on what category you are in, you could have other people adding it to their own site directory. Whats good about that? Well if 1000 people have your Dmoz category content on their site and your link is on the page you could potentially have 1000 links to your site (this is only from sites and urls that are indexed in google. Msn and yahoo index a lot more of these pages than google does, simply because google does not want the same content in thier index.

I will add more later if any comes to mind, but I really like what you have started so far on this Google Ranking Factors List.

Thnx, for sharing this information. Nice posting go ahead.

Google considers various factors such as

1. SERP.
2. Sitemaps.
3. RSS on site.
4. Meta Tags.

These are some major factors that Google Crawler considers while optimizing.
