Does Page Load Time Influence SEO?

    On several different blogs I've heard news that the major search engines will start to introduce technology into their algorithms that will base the page load time of your site to where you're placed into the SERPS? Does anyone have any article links or inside news if this a factor or not?

    Thanks minrevait! I was just sent a link by a colleague... Here is a video from Matt Cutts explaining that page load time is not a factor for SEO. This is good info to know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3zmP0W26M0

    The long page load time could not hurt your seo effort as long as it does not lead to "This page is not load" or "Server cannot be found" or "403 Error". The site downtime could be more negative effected in seo than just a page load time. However, I think Google might consider page load time to be more influenced in a soon since they need to deliver best result and the slow loading site might degrade them.

    If a site takes too long to load then its not a site that Google wants to serve up to a user. Users dont want to wait. Also if a site is taking a long time maybe there are too my third party web entities involved with your site. Including maybe viruese and bad tracking cookies.
