Hey everyone, I was researching what factors go in the algorithm for search engine rankings and I came across this page on SEOMoz. The methodology was a survey of top actual SEO experts worldwide, so these guys actually know what they're talking about. It gives the top 5 factors in ranking, the 5 most negative and the 5 most contentious. Thought it might help some of you out, so here it is: http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors Edit: It's from 2009, so not incredibly new, but still I think very valuable.
I believe that's a pretty old article. Some neat yet known factors mentioned there. Was expecting something new & unique on seeing the URL to be SeoMoz. Thanks anyways. I believe it was just a usual poll in which anyone was allowed to participate/vote.
I have written an article on 8 First Step SEO Ranking Factors for Bloggers on my blog. All the points are handpicked and told by SEO experts. Hope it helps all. Cheers.
almost all the given factors are still consider for ranking. Google has added a new factor - page load speed/time this year
