Google Updates

Google has a couple new elements going on in its results pages. The first one is the addition of brand links for some queries.
In the ones I've seen, they appear near the top of the results, just below the top paid listings. They are not links to the sites of these brands, however. They are links to SERPs for queries that incorporate those brands into them. For example, clicking "Wilson" in the footballs example will take me to results page for "wilson footballs".

Google has reported to their Adwords blog which two new changes are coming to the Adwords Quality Score.

These are the details:
First, Google Quality Score Calculation Score is in need to change an ad's CTR based on the ad's position. It is not completely new change as Google has always normalized the CTR based on the ad position. Now, they are updating the issue of existing technology that they have already been using for the ad position calculation. or calculating the ad position. Using fresher and more updated data that will ensure greater accurate Adwords Quality Score.

Second, How some ads promoted to the top position. The changing of formula is used to move an ad instead from right side of page move to the listings on top of the organic results. As we know if an ad in the first position did not meet the promotion quality requirements, the ad in the second listing did meet the threshold then the second ad would not be promoted. The update or changes in place, these ads will be move and jump above the ad in the first position and promoted to the top position or top listing.

Advertisers would need to concentrate on this changes more on the ad copies and their promotional qualities particular the second one about how some ads are promoted to the top position.

Google was updated the Page Rank (PR), and it seems now Google update the latest search engine page ranking by removing the unusual sites from the result pages. Google RSP or Regularly Scheduled Programming has returned and look for fresh content for top ranking including the update of page rank and also ranking order of all sites and blogs.

Content VS Backlinks

Labels: , , ,

Content

is a key factor to rank well. Content is important in your website that readable by spiders, and readers or viewers. You can still gain backlinks if you put the unique content of your blog or web site. Proving unique content related to your web site is a good, we can say content is king. No need to promote much your web site, you can get high page rank in a couple of months. Good Unique Content is the target from the visitors to read the latest updates or press releases. More related sites are likely to promote your site in their site. Webmaster out there asking you to be added in one way or 2 way link exchange. No need to promote your website and finding related sites to exchange link.

Backlinks is also important but we consider this another option to be popular in search engines. Building Links is important for the web site to gain PR or page rank but not all links are valued equally by search engines.
