Dynamic Content Needed For Help With Google Qdf Algo

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by Arnett, Apr 21, 2008.

  1. #1
    I've been thinking about the impact of the QDF algorithm on search engine positioning. I'm wondering whether plugging in some sort of script which dynamically updates from another server and includes fresh content would help the site and it's pages maintain a "fresh" appearance and increase freshbot visits/position in SERPS.

    My site is business oriented and what I'm looking for is some sort of script that adds targeted news content to the pages of the site. What I want to know is whether adding this sort of dynamically generated content will improve the "freshness" of the site's content or improve positioning.

    If the 'dynamically generated content' is unique and make sense (related to your site) then it'll definitely help in improving SERPs. As far as I know, there's no script to turn the news from other server into a unique text which makes sense.

    Thanks. My business site is divided into different categories based on type of business. What I was hoping for is a hosted php script that would in turn generate a business news page targeting different categories which would appear to the bot to be hosted within my domain and modifiable so that I can customize the content and avoid the "duplicate content" trap. Not only should it attract freshbot but also help with any positioning boost provided by QDF.

    You should not be changing the content on your web pages unless it's for your visitors. You do not update\change content just for search engines; by doing this your breaking the cardnial rule of "build websites for humans not search engines".

    The QDF is more for new documents, ie completely new pages rather then updated pages. So if this script is just updating say a news.php page with a random mix of latest news QDF won't really apply but it will certainly increase your crawl frequency.

    But this is also a catch 22, because the page is always in a state of change your rankings for the various terms don't really get a chance to stabilize and pull in SERP traffic as well as a static page. Think about it, Google crawls the content and by the time it exports the cache snapshot and determines where the page should rank for the terms on it the page has changed again with other keywords.

    Although you can utilize this high crawl frequency by also adding links to your latest 5 or 10 original static pages on the news page, and this will ensure whatever you publish hits the SERP's super fast.

    C-a-r-d-i-n-a-l. What are you a googleclone? That's straight out of google webmaster guidelines.

    Are you the grammar\spelling police? Since you don't want useful information I'll remember that next time I see a thread you've made. There are very few people on this forum who actual know what their talking about, hopefully they'll help you from now on. Who would of thought listening to what comes out of the webmaster guidelines set forth by search engines. :rolleyes:

    Thanks. That addresses the freshbot issue. I was asking more of a "How does the QDF algo affect the search position." than a "How does changing content make your position increase and decrease until it drives you crazy" type question.

    Nope. But I've already read Google Webmaster guidelines. Years ago. I don't need to read it again here.

    I've already got Adsense in the site's pages. I'm hoping that this helps keep them in theme in the SERPS. I don't know whether adding another source of content will help with QDF, though.

    The reasons for asking these questions in forums is to get fresh thinking that addresses issues not published by Google or Matt Cutt.

    I'm NOT looking for a Googlemonk.

    This issue has been addressed over and over again; that is why you get static answers to it. Your worrying about something that should be geared towards the usability of your website by visitors, not search engines. In theory who cares about search engines, worry about the quality, usability and visualization of your web page for your visitors.

    Following these rules is a great example of what happened with my CivicSEO site. Built for visitors, not search engines and look who decided to link to it via their internet marketing kit.

    Visitors should be your number one concern, not search engines. Hell, what do I know... ;)

    You're also assuming that I spend a lot of time here asking and answering questions. New here? No. Spend a lot of time here? No. Any intelligent life here?

    Awfully critical for someone who hasn't even seen the website that he's commenting on, though, aren't you?

    :rolleyes:

    BTW I already got a helpful answer. You can stop after your next reply....

    Well, if it's in your signature I got no farther then the first one once the pop-up came about and all I saw were ads. ;) We can do this back and forth all day or we can solve the question you came here to get answered. Which one would you like to do? I still got another 4 hours at work so the choice is yours! :D

    Yes, us poor IT guys have nothing better to do at work then sit on forums and moonlite our side buisness. ;)

    I don't put in the pop up windows. The sites were built in free webspace to test them. The host sticks that stuff in. Unlike you, I do this for a living and don't have time to waste with all of this chatter. Yes, the site is listed in the message signature area. Your comments are beginning to degrade the purpose of the thread but probably do wonders for your signature links to your sites. Please stop with the off-topic comments. Someone new may actually try to learn something from reading this thread or others.

    The only person doing direct attacks here is you, I've tried to expand your mind into the concept of what your asking; instead you continue to make direct attacks and\or degrading replies for some unknown reason.

    You if you 10 seconds to look at my SEO service thread you would see I'm one of the most popular SEO consultants on this forum, and respected by many of it's top members as I do them. Like I said, trust me I won't be wasting my time to help someone who can't take a critical opinion over something because it doesn't favor the response they want to hear.

    The only thing someone will learn in this thread is how not to recieve help from someone. You need to re-evaluate your approach in how you speak to people or you'll never be successful with what your trying to do. Yes, you may do this full time but I've been doing web development when I was in elementrary school and search engine optimization\internet marketing for over 6-7 years, so trust me I've got more invested then you do.

    STOP ALREADY. You started by quoting Google Webmaster Guidelines. I read that years ago. Next you assumed that I just fell off the turnip truck and need some kind of new guy guidance. I've been doing this awhile.

    STOP ALREADY with the off-topic remarks. I don't need to have my mind expanded.

    PLEASE STOP. Do you have any idea of how annoying you are?
