Google and Sentence Structure

    Can anyone proove for a fact and not theory that Google might have a proper sentence structure program built into their algorythm?

    For example. Microsoft word uses a sentence program where it points out run on sentences, poor punctuation etc.

    IF they do, will they rank you lower for having poor sentence structure?

    They could easily do this as it wouldn't be that hard to analyze a sentence between the start and finish looking.

    For example. This sentence here is a proper looking sentence that contains all the elements that make up a good structured sentence under the rules of the English language.

    as opposed to: This sentence is proper look sentence that contain elements make up a good structured sentence under rule of the english language.

    The only fact you will be able to get is from a google employee and i dont think they will disclose any information about there algo .

    i dont think more than 2-3 people know it...

    if someone have the key of success he wont share it with anyone ;)

    I don't think they do, though they should... it would prevent some of that spam that just has snippets of words from dozens of other sites or just a jumble of nonsensical keywords. But since that kind of spam can be successful, I would suggest there is no sentence/grammar analysis.

    The first time heard this, maybe only the engineers who developed the algorithm know that. Anyway, google focus more on off page optimization, right?

    From what I understand, there is some checking of sentence structure and language on a sitewide basis to determine
    1) if it's spam
    2) what language/locality it should be indexed for

    In general though, I can't imagine it would hurt to have good grammar

    I would say no. I don't have time to prove it right now, but if I remember, I will. I've wondered about this before, and actually found several good articles - and links - on this very topic.

    I don't think they use much of a grammar filter except of course to check for duplicate content created by using some kind of synonym thing. Not sure about that either!

    check out http://www.seobythesea.com/ they have info on this subject, its not light reading though.

    I agree. Google is pretty secretive.

    It probably wouldn't be that hard for them to do it. I hope I never gave them an idea.

    I don't think they look at sentence structure (though I never tested it), but they do look at whether the words on the page are 'normal' - fit the way a human would write. That's why keyword stuffing content no longer works.
