What is the Google Algorithm?

An algorithm is a mathematical equation that uses certain information from your website in order to define its rankings. If you’re looking for a printout of the specific equation Google uses to rank sites and how much each factor is weighed, this is not the place to get it. The actual algorithm used by Google is a secret, and will stay that way for as long as they can keep it. Although the specifics of the algorithm are not released at all, Google patented the basics of their algorithm, which makes it easily accessible to the public. If you would like to view the patent in all its splendor, simply search in whatever search engine you would like for the phrase “Google Patent.”

This is a general overview of the general things this algorithm searches for, written in plain English for the average webmaster. This guide will go over some of the things Google’s spiders are looking for, and how to utilize this knowledge in order to boost your rankings on the Google search engine. Keep in mind that while this guide is written specifically for staying on Google’s good side in regards to placement in their search engine, the same tactics are definitely portable to the other major search engines such as Yahoo and MSN. Although Google’s algorithm is extremely complex compared to those of Yahoo and MSN many of the same strategies still apply.

So, how does it work?

Basically, when a Google spider, or robot, finds your site a number of things are taken into consideration. Not only does this spider search through the content and links on your page, cataloguing keywords, page titles and descriptions, backward links, and meta tags as it goes along, it even looks through your whois information. Whois information is the information provided through your hosting company on who exactly owns the website, including name, telephone number, email address, physical address, how long your site is registered for, and more. To check the whois information on your site, as well as others, visit and type in the URL of the site you are checking information on.

All of these are major factors (yes, including your physical address and name and the duration of your registration on a particular domain name) in the algorithm. Therefore, it is extremely important to optimize every single part of your site, visible or invisible to the common browser.

Noframes tag

alternative non-framed HTML on a frameset page for very old, non-frames capable web browsers and search engine spiders. Placing good keyword-rich text in noframes tags is a good idea if your site is framed, but a much better idea is to ditch frames altogether and rebuild the site properly. A framed web site is not search engine friendly as long as it uses noframes tags.

Keyword prominence:- the location (i.e. placement) of a given keyword in the HTML source code of a web page. The higher up in the page a particular word is, the more prominent it is and thus the more weight that word is assigned by the search engine when that word matches a keyword search done by a search engine user. Consequently, it’s best to have your first paragraph be chock full of important keywords rather than superfluous marketingspeak. This concept also applies to the location of important keywords within individual HTML tags, such as heading tags, title tags, or hyperlink text. So get in the habit of starting off your title tags with a good keyword rather than “Welcome to.

How To Use Social Networking

Before you know the importance of social networking, it is essential to understand what social networking is. To put it simply, social networking is the interaction of groups of individuals bought together by a common interest. It has existed ever since we developed communication and follow its mechanism even today. We meet new people and make them our friends if we share same interests. This way we make a social network and as we make acquaintances and make new friends, it is called social networking.

Social networking is equally useful for those related to website design business and trade. Companies who share same interests are able to share communication with each other, build up relations by entering in to partnership, and strengthen their businesses thereby. Social networking is very effective for small and medium size businesses as they are given the opportunity to reach more people all over the world.

If you have an e-commerce website, you can also utilize the potential of social networking for your business just like networking in the real world, online businesses who have the same interest would contact each other. This enables you to forge a partnership or an alliance to boost your status. Social networking is a great tool to generate traffic to your website.

You can design a list of your audience and use that as your group of social networking to generate traffic to your website. This is possible as the connections you have online can provide you with numerous ways to obtain more traffic. There is a community of people out there that may not be aware of your website. But, social networking will provide you other links that you may not have had access to otherwise.

Outbound Marketing

Outbound marketing is the traditional stuff that most people think of when they think about marketing and includes things like print advertising, direct mail, telemarketing, TV and radio.

The defining factor of outbound marketing is that it reaches out to the consumer in the hopes of:

  1. grabbing their attention
  2. holding their attention long enough to deliver a message
  3. hoping the message motivates them to take action - like spend money on a product or service

The success of outbound marketing hinges on its ability to effectively interrupt you. Outbound marketing doesn’t work as well as it used to. That’s probably because the average consumer is bombarded with anywhere from 250 to 3000 messages a day depending on how much time you spend online, watching TV, listening to the radio or reading newspapers and magazines.

With so much rapid fire information being hurled at consumers every day, is it any wonder that most people have become adept at tuning it out?
