    Many people try to optimize a page based on exact algorithms of the search engines. To protect themselves, search engines have been active in using off site criteria to rank web pages. Here are a few search engine algorithm facts:

    * Anyone who knew the exact search engine algorithm would not be selling the information cheaply over the web.
    * Search engines change their algorithms many times each month to fight off "spam."
    * If people knew the exact algorithm then they could manipulate rankings as they please until the search results became so irrelevant that the search engine became junk.
    * Search engine algorithms are some of the most tightly kept secrets in the world for this reason.
    * Entire businesses, and businesses which spawn of those businesses which spawn off of those exist solely because of these search engine algorithms. You are reading one of them.

    An algorithm is complete set of instruction which is used by search engines for ranking websites in search results.

    And, we do not follow algorithm, we follow guidelines for successfully working with algorithms.

    These algorithms are never disclosed to webmasters, else they will manipulate rankings very easily and hence result in spamming.

    Essentially the logic behind the search engines you use. Why do you see a certain website above another when you enter a search term?

    Algorithms for searching virtual spaces are used in constraint satisfaction problem, where the goal is to find a set of value assignments to certain variables that will satisfy specific mathematical equations and inequations. They are also used when the goal is to find a variable assignment that will maximize or minimize a certain function of those variables. Algorithms for these problems include the basic brute-force search (also called "naïve" or "uninformed" search), and a variety of heuristics that try to exploit partial knowledge about structure of the space, such as linear relaxation, constraint generation, and constraint propagation.

    It is essentially protocols or rules for search engine to rank websites. And although they will change algo frequently, the foundations for SEO will never change.

    Search engine algorithm is the programming language that the search engines use to determine how important a webpage is. It is analyzing websites to determine their rankings.

    The Google Algorithm will get smarter and smarter and will eventually ignore completely SEO tactics like forum profile links. In other words..feed the monster what it likes and it will reward you. Ie "Solid" "Useful" content

    Totally agree. In short, nobody really knows the exact search engine algorithms.
