Search Engine Ranking Optimization - Google dissected

    You know I have noticed that when you search using google you get a lot of results featuring forum posts. And I decided to take a closer look at what is it about a form post that makes it so special that google places it in the top ten results.

    1. Updated - Forums are updated very frequently. Every time a new thread is started the search engine sees it as an update. But more IMPORTANTLY, every thread is updated when a visitor adds his/her reply to the thread.

    2. Keyword repetition - Every post has the keyword repeated throughout the thread in a different manner. This variability in the position of the repeated keyword definitely has an impact on the search engine's algorithm.

    3. Thread Length - Threads are quite long. As a matter of fact if you have being paying attention to the latest search results you will notice that short articles do not rank that well any more. Instead, you find lengthy articles in the tops results.

    I guess if a person could implement these things into his/her articles he/she could see an improvement in search engine rankings. The only problem is how do you constantly update an article?

    You are forgetting that forum have quite a bit of unique content that you normally wouldn’t find on sites and blogs.
