Google bomb A Google bomb on March 31st, 2013. Despite Google's intervention, some of the first search results still refer to Bush. The terms Google bomb and Googlewashing refer to the practice of causing a web page to rank highly in search engine results for unrelated or off-topic search terms by linking heavily. In contrast, search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of improving the search engine listings of web pages for relevant search terms. It is done for either business, political, or comedic purposes (or some combination thereof).[1] Google's search-rank algorithm ranks pages higher for a particular search phrase if enough other pages linked to it use similar anchor text (linking text such as "miserable failure"). By January 2007, however, Google tweaked its search algorithm to counter popular Google bombs such as "miserable failure" leading to George W.

personalized pagerank The PageRank algorithm, as used by the Google search engine, exploits the linkage structure of the web to compute global "importance" scores that can be used to influence the ranking of search results. While the use of PageRank has proven very effective, the web's rapid growth in size and diversity drives an increasing demand for greater flexibility in ranking. Ideally, each user should be able to define his own notion of importance for each individual query. While in principle a personalized version of the PageRank algorithm can achieve this task, its naive implementation requires computing resources far beyond the realm of feasibility. During 2002-2003, this project developed algorithms and techniques for the goal of scalable, online personalized web search. The members of the Stanford PageRank Project spun off to form the company Kaltix to commercialize personalized web search technologies.

Ambient Findability: Findability Hacks So, enough with balance already. While I admit findability is not the only important element of the user experience, I’m not ready to concede its primacy online. I’m sure we can all agree with the basic truth expressed by this ancient proverb: Findability Precedes Usability In the Alphabet and on the Web You Can’t Use What You Can’t Find Seriously, findability is one of the most thorny problems in web design. In fact, in most organizations, findability falls through the cracks. For all these reasons, findability merits special attention. For instance, many professionals in the design community have maintained an unhealthy distance from the practice of search engine marketing, which includes search engine advertising (SEA) and search engine optimization (SEO). One of the most important components of a successful search engine marketing campaign is the link component, also referred to as site architecture.

How Search Engines Rank Web Pages Once upon a time search engines looked at words. Over the years the movement has been towards concepts. Or as the new mantra goes, "things not strings." Yes, indeed, the words on the page do come into play, but more often than not, it is more about identifying the concepts of a page or a website. The goal of this article is to give you a sense of the core concepts used in modern search. Corralling the Wild, Wild Web While this journey is more about the elements of ranking a page or a site, one really can't get to that point without the page actually being found. Crawling: The ability for the search engine to get around the siteIndexing: Actually getting pages into the search engine's index. These days most of this can be handled by automated tools provided by the major search engines. What's not quite as evident is the level and depth of the crawling and indexation given to a website. Google's Matt Cutts has a nice video worth watching; Understanding Signals First things first: signals.
How to effectively use SEO Doctor for diagnosing website problems Recent update of SEO Doctor, my free SEO audit tool for Firefox, was a very important release as now the add-on features the most comprehensive set of on-site optimization tools found in any extension, paid or free. One of the features I gave a lot of attention to was website indexing problems that seem to have affected a lot of webmasters recently (and no wonder too, with so many things that can accidentally go wrong). SEO Doctor automatically detects all possible causes for a page not to be indexed - robots.txt exclusion, meta noindex tag, rel canonical tag and x-robots-noindex http headers. In addition, it instantly detects all common SEO problems by simply loading a desired page in the browser window. As a little guide on using SEO Doctor to diagnose common problems, I decided to visit some of my recent commentators websites just to see what will come up in SEO Doctor. 1. Website: 2. 3.
