I am very interested in hearing what you have to say. If you are a talented writer and have an interesting theory or something to say, please get in touch with me. I would love for you to become an author on my Blog. To contact me, please message me through the contact form.
Google is watching your every move, don’t you think you can fool the eyes of the Bot! So buying your way to the top, are we? It’s just a matter of time before you get caught. Riiiiiiiiiiight.
A little word of advice to the big G, Begin by sorting out your first page results, and then worry about what Webmasters are up to.
Search for Web Marketing at Google.pt: (The Red arrow is pointing to my companies website whilst the blue arrow is pointing to the site that is “clustering” the results page).
Is a simple condition statement too complex for the algorithm to handle?
IF RESULTS page 1 already contains Page A should I display Page A twice? What about three times? Heck, why not go all the way and cluster my own search results page with a single website?? that should be fun!
I don’t have a lot to complain about since my company is leading the SERPS with a single results. But for the love of God, this is becoming ridiculous, to the point where I’m having trouble explaining to my clients that Google is a good reliable system to invest in.
Maybe the Adwords Learning Center could add a new Sales pitch tutorial on how to lead with questions like: “why is that site occupying three slots in the first page? Why should I invest in PPC when I can get 30% of the top page slots with my website?
Please note that I have nothing against the website’s webmaster, I personally know the owner of the company in question and kudos for him for the fantastic results, but it’s impossible to stay quiet when you see one of your top business search queries being handled by Goolgle the way it is. Sort it out!
Most people tend to attribute Google’s success over their direct competitors to things such has technological advantage from any stand point, the search product itself being more usable and accessible, and of course, brand trust and recognition.
However, I think that one key factor isn’t taken into account. Unlike Ask, Yahoo and Live search, Google is an international Search Engine. Goggles engine provides relevant (or at least they try to) results based on the country your search from.
If I’m searching for a Web Design firm in Portugal I don’t want to be served American or firms based on the UK.
By a simply switch in Google’s country extension, I am able to get much more relevant results based on my Nation’s market.
Now, It’s uncomprehensable to me how all the other major engines tend to scarp and ignore markets outside the US and Uk.
Of course that neither of them restrict content from abroad, but the the results are neither relevant or optimized to the places where the queries are being done.
Modern search is about relevancy, Google understands this.
just stummbled upon a very interesting presentation that Marissa Googles Vice President for Search Products & User Experience gave at Standfort last year.
