Hi there, Can you please explain how does the Google algorithm works now? You can direct me to article if you know a good one. Google changed their algorithm soon and I want to get more information about it. Best Regards Dimitar
The only thing we can do is to speculate. Google publishes some documents, so we can take a guess, but we can really never go beyond hypothesizing our theory. It is generally believed that Google puts very strong emphasis on link structure of the website in order to determine its rank in SERP. It is often believed that it would be better if your link structure is created so that the structure clearly tells the theme of the website.
Hmm, hadn't heard that one before. For starters, afaik web sites aren't ranked - web pages are. And as far as I can tell, the only 'structure' that matters is how many links point to the page you're trying to get ranked, the PR of those links and their anchor text. Can you please explain how one would create a structure that clearly tells the theme of a website? To Dimitar; all you can do is spend countless hours reading threads in forums such as this. Good luck.
I just used the word "structure" to describe the map the page creates from its IBL and outbound links. Please use whatever word you'd like depending on your preference.
Ok, well that makes some sense. Your previous post seemed to indicate the structure of your site somehow could dictate a theme. Even so, the 'theming' theory is a hardly the most solid of theories. For a newcomer like dimitar, it would be better to talk about the importance of title tags and anchor text of inbound links than site themes, which is something I for one have yet to see any evidence of.
I agree it is a theory, though I do give consideration to this particular theory as I acquire IBL and add outbound links in my sites. I cannot say that this is a fact or proved case.
Yes, I also give it consideration. That seems like a good idea to me. More for our site's users than for Google though. Considering I can't really control who links to us (not all the time at least ), I don't mind if I get the occassional link from an off-topic page. And I doubt it is considered any less important than one from an on-topic page. Then again, maybe it is
We don't know exactly what the current algorithm is, but we know what the original (and probably most basic) algorithm was. This page attempts to explain this original algorithm.. it probably still has some relevance. URL= http://www.googleadvisor.org/articles/pagerankalgorithm.html
Not very much imho. I believe as Google's ranking algorithm has become more complex so the value of PageRank has diminished. Krishna Bharat before he became Google's principal scientist was following the query dependent path with term vectors and thence to topic vectors. Bharat continued along this route with the Google News (GN) algorithm and I would suggest observing the behaviour of GN can give a clue as to the way it's big brother has evolved as well. - Michael
Did you read Google's IPO paper? I guess Google has to disclose the algorithm to its share holder. JMO.
That that mean that you can buy up a few stocks for $2,000 and have access to their algo? I don't think so.
Hey as soon as you guys get the answer make sure you post it here for everyone to read..lol. I think some people might be interested...
