The top level domain of your website can have an influence on your website rankings. Last week, many websites with a special top level domain were delisted from Google's search results.
More and more each day you probably see Googles custom search engine functionality appear on sites across the Internet. In fact, I have implemented the Google custom search engine on two of my own sites. If you are looking for a simple way to enhance your users engagement level on your site then I recommend you take a closer look at Google custom search engine. Below are few of the top reasons I like it so much:
As we predicted a few weeks back, Google is performing a major algorithm update. The search engines, including Google, are always making updates to their algorithms but many site owners feel it when the engines perform a major search algorithm update. Usually when Google performs a major algo update, there are a number of theories that people come up with to try and decipher how they can improve their rankings in Google's index or more importantly preserve their existing rankings from dropping in the results.
According to the Financial Times, the Search War is already over. Google's won. Everyone else can go home now. Microhoo was the last potential challenger, and now that that deal is in shambles, the victory has been ceded to the search empire of Mountain View. Even fellow Search Insider Aaron Goldman has been searching for a Google Killer, and so far hasn't found one. I myself said Google was going to be an extremely hard habit to break (in 5 parts, no less).
Google tends to not rank new domains. In an effort to deter spammers from generating new websites, Google has implemented filters for new websites, which means that it can be a challenge for a new website to rank in Google's organic search results until they are deemed trustworthy.
During the last weeks, people in online forums observed some strange Google result changes. Rumor has it that there is a new -60 penalty that Google applies to websites in which it has lost trust.
High rankings on Google can make the difference between an extremely successful online business and a total failure. The position of your website in Google's search results can make or break your business.
But how much exactly is a top ranking on Google worth? What can a top ranking on Google do for your business?
A new study about the click behavior of web searchers has been released this month. The study shows that searchers click specialized content within general search results more than they do within the results of specialized searches.
Webmasters in a discussion forum have noticed changes in Google's search results. Do we have to expect a larger ranking algorithm update? How will this influence the ranking of your web pages in Google's search results?
