Seo Question
 

Would google give any listing priority for using their web hosting service?

Or maybe backlinks coming from a site hosted on sites.google.com would drastically improve the rankings of the site your linking to?

url: sites.google.com

thanks :upsidedow

i'm not sure, but i think no

Probably not.

would be cool if it did ;)

You have some trust built into the domain but you would still need to build a quality site and generate it some links to pass any of that trust out.

For mainstream its a great way to generate links, with that, blogger/wordpress/2.0 and the oodles of social sites you can easily generate tons of decent links fairly quickly (check online for 'link wheels' or 'social link wheels'). And the links do benefit you, but again it would depend on what you did with the site as to how much they actually helped you.
