what r d ways by which google ranks a website ?

hi,

Can you tell me by what factors google ranks a website ohter than links, viewers etc.,

 

As i know they will rank your website looking at several factors such as quality backlinks and high quality contents!!

 

According to Google - http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=34432

Sites' positions in our search results are determined based on a number of factors designed to provide end-users with helpful, accurate search results. These factors are explained in more detail at http://www.google.com/competition/howgooglesearchworks.html.

In general, webmasters can improve the rank of their sites by increasing the number of high-quality sites that link to their pages. For more information about improving your site's visibility in the Google search results, we recommend reviewing our Webmaster Guidelines. They outline core concepts for maintaining a Google-friendly website.

 

Yea it depends on number of factors LIKE How well your site has on page optimized and the high quality backlinks and above how unique you contents are.

 

I thinks is the quality of content. Your content must be for the audience, not for search engines.

 

I believe Google changed its algorithm again, they just recently updated/released Penguin update.

 

You are right dude.
google has already changed their algorithm.
