Google only ranks 6th - something to brighten your day

    Well this is worth a laugh - do a google search on: search engine and Google.com only ranks 6th.

    Who is #1?

    Maybe they should chase a few more on-topic links with the right anchor text from pages with decent PR!

    Personally I think their homepage could do with a bit more content if you know what I mean...

    It puts it in perspective I guess...

    No way... Google's minimalist approach to their homepage is great (IMO).

    Thats why they have the best search engine, so you can find it. Try searching for anything Shawn offers, you'll find it quickly.

    Content of the Page means nothing, if you have thousands of Allinanchor links with the keyword linked to your Page.

    I experimented on my SEO page. I have powerful PR7 partners which placed my link ROS (all pages) and it gives me 4,970 PR4+ backlinks with keyword text in anchor and 57,003 PR3- pages with the same outbound link to my page. Total 57,500 allinanchor links!!!

    I removed all keywords from the Page, waited for Google update and now there are no keywords in the cache page of the Google at all, none of them!!! And the Page is still #2 in search results.

    I guess page's content can give hundrends points and it's good for not competetive content while allinanchor thousands and millions.

    My guess is that all pages in SERPS are ordered by their rating in points. You can use title, H1 and other things to get some points but you should think of keyword density, because when it's more than allowed you'll be placed to SERPS from the end! I mean pages with 100% keyword density will be the last, then 99% and so on to the 9% for example.

    SO the points you get are:

    Point of the page formula

    {Title ratio (10 points for example) * (Keyword length / Title length)
    + H1 ratio (5 points for example) * (Keyword length / H1 length)
    + ..... }
    and all this multiplied by PR of the page!!!

    + SUM of {Allinanchor link ration * Keyword length / Link length * PR of the page with outbound link may be devided by number of links?}

    So if you have 1,000,000 allinanchor links to your page your page's rating by itself will be maximum 1% of the whole value!

    What do you think about such math?

    Best regards,
    Paul

    It's not opinion, it's fact!

    Also you have to love Google's unbiased results. There are many articles that pop-up time to time in Google News that trash Google. Google takes the high road. It's a great company.
