The Google Algorithm
 

GoogScore = (KW Usage Score * 0.3) + (Domain Strength * 0.25) + (Inbound Link Score * 0.25) + (User Data * 0.1) + (Content Quality Score * 0.1) + (Manual Boosts) - (Automated & Manual Penalties)

KW Usage Factors:

KW in title tag
KW in header tags
KW in document text
KW in internal links pointing to the page
KW in domain and/or URL
Domain Strength

Registration history
Domain age
Strength of links pointing to the domain
Topical neighborhood of domain based on inlinks & outlinks
Historical use & links pattern to domain
Inbound Link Score

Age of links
Quality of domains sending links
Quality of pages sending links
Anchor text of links
Link quantity/weight metric (Pagerank or a variation)
Subject matter of linking pages/sites
User Data

Historical CTR to page in SERPs
Time users spend on page
Search requests for URL/domain
Historical visits/use of URL/domain by users GG can monitor (toolbar, wifi, analytics, etc.)
Content Quality Score

Potentially given by hand for popular queries/pages
Provided by Google raters (remember Henk?)
Machine-algos for rating text quality/readability/etc

Bullshit!

It's all lies

If I remember correctly, se land or journal had a post where they had logged something like 130 or so different possible factors in the google algo. I would suspect once you add in cross reference weights the number is much higher.

Edit, here's the info: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/2...gorithm/15457/ Looks like it might be 200+ factors said, but only 130 possible discovered.

Cool find, thanks :)

Google is like mother nature, don't try to beat it, just learn how to live with it.

Still call bullshit!

Google by many estimates, changed their algorithm over 300 times last year and some reports as high as 700. Good luck with your major scoop.
