since we’re stepping out of the realms of fact and into the great beyond of wild theories … I feel qualified to take part.
:tongue:
I’ve got to agree that I think that much of googles suppoosed technological whizziness does not appear obvious to me when I see their search results.
It may be a complicated algoriythm … but it’s often wrong .. and quite frankly MSN and Yahoo seem to give better targetted results.
(However, 70% of traffic seems to go through Google – so you’ve gotta try and do the google dance …)
I’ve got about 50 keywords that different pages on my site target – each page has it’s own – even within my own site it’s own ideal audience and terms.
I’m amazed at how often google (incorrectly) thinks that another page on the site would be better – mainly becuase the second page simply links to the first page ??!
Basically google seems to think 3 things …
1) Is the site out of the “sandbox” ?
2) Does the page have the term on the page text, in the heading, and in the URL.
3) Does the site have other pages that also rank well for this term ?
If the answer is YES to all three then I seem to have an easy ride into the top 50 pages for most search terms with 1m to 10m results.
It hardly seems rocket science to me.
