How Does Google Rank My Page | Search Hey everybody JC Anthony here from jcanthony.com.
Today I'm going to talk about Google Search and search index; I got a question from Mark
in Bowling green. He wanted to know how does Google rank his page and find his blog.
Thanks a lot Mark for the question this would probably be better set on a whiteboard but
I’m kind of running short on time today so I’m just going to talk about it here
real quick. The way Google goes about finding your blog
page or your website is that they use software that’s called a spider. This spider is more
or less their algorithm that Google uses to index pages to get them to rank, so that you’ll
know where you’re at but so they will know where to put you.
What that means is when they come to your site they start at the top of your page, think
of it like they look at it going down at a diagonal they don’t read every word on your
page but they need to know if your content is relevant to what people are searching for.
So they start at like the top right corner and they start with your title. so if you’re
trying to get your page to people that are reading about widgets, then your Title needs
to have something about widgets right at the beginning of that Title.
So then this spider goes on down through the page and it starts in your post or your web
page whatever it is, and it’s looking for other things that people are looking for and
again there searching for widgets. So they are going to search in your content
to see if it is relevant to what people are searching for as far as widgets throughout
your content. Now they don’t read every word but you have
to have it in there somewhere. Now I’m not saying; if you do it too much is called keyword
stuffing and you don’t want to do that, because that will get you in trouble with
Google. But you want to have that keyword in there
two or three times if you have like, a 500 word article. So they go in there looking
through this page and they keep looking for this (key words, relevant content).
Now one of the other things they (spider) are going to do is if you have four or five
pages on your blog they are going to see if these pages interlink, can the spider go through
to this other page, is there something relevant about what you were talking about on this
page on that page. So if you have maybe like a definition of
something and you went to like wikapedia and you have a link in your post that goes to
Wikipedia they will index that your post goes from there to Wikipedia.
They are going to get the most relevant content for what the person is looking for. There
might be a link from Wikipedia to somewhere else that has something to do with your widgets
somewhere out there in the world linked to the same thing that you linked to.
They may crawl from Wikipedia to another site that is relevant to the content that you have
but that content might rank higher than yours. It depends on the links and if the content
is quality content and if its relevant to what they are looking for.
So this is how Google finds you and puts you on their rank page (index) by the content
that you provide is it quality content, are you helping people, are you giving them the
best answer, and like I say this is software this is not a person going through sites constantly
and checking things out. If you put spam stuff like where your keyword
stuffing all the time and you have got way too many keywords the software that they use
will pick up on that and you could get flagged for that so you don’t want to do that.
I hope that answers your question. For everybody out there that have any other
questions feel free to stop by my site leave me an e-mail on my contact page or leave a
comment below this video and I’ll try to answer your questions.
Thank you and have a great day.
