Google Search video - must see

[gayle]

Here is a short video from Matt Cutts who explains what happens when you make a search on Google;

Now if we only knew all the 200 points, we all be much wiser webmasters.
Makes a good case for internal links and keyword rich succinct meta tags.
Enjoy and learn!

amazing...internet is really fast

This google guy always have words for us to digest about how their system actually works. A scary point though, how much of these words are actually true knowing the same thing that he's a solid google guy everybody knows. He can be a puppet made to mislead and this video might have been created to crack and doubt our practices. My two cents.

As always with Google, some of the info they release is true but most of the relevant info is kept to themselves. I found that they usually tell SEOs to put emphasis on the factors that are less important while the "real" truth is that otehr factors are far more influential on ranking.

I don't think anyone (human) at Google knows what criteria "Hal" is rating pages with anymore. do do do do do do do do do do you have now entered the twilight zooooooooooone.

Hi Alain,

In my opinion I wouldn't say that is entirely true. Just through reading through the Matt Cutt's or Google webmaster blog you could pretty easily get a solid and proven idea of how to outrank other sites. Even in that video it mentions the URL, title, text etc. all the fundamentals that are proven through independant research.

Google does want to help webmasters, but helping us to much would no doubt ruin their search engine and consequently the internet as a whole. If Google handed over an algorithm document then how would they know which sites deserve to rank, and those who are just owned by people who have read through document. People would stop visiting search engines as spam levels would be a lot larger than they already are in some cases.

Not sticking up for the big guy, just providing my opinion as a lot of people seem to concur with your opinion in my experience!

Cheers,
Dave

I have seen this video before, pretty cool if you are unsure how Google works. If you Google around you can find what most people think the 200 factors are. Most are pointless and obvious, like keywords contained on the page.

The thing with Google is that the algorythm changes a lot.

It changed since that video.

If you notice, localization is more important than it was just a few months ago.

True, I have also noticed this, only with business type searches ofcource.
