Ranking Factors of Major players - Part 5
Google
has been in the search game a long time, and saw the web graph when it is much cleaner than the current web graph
is much better than the other engines at determining if a link is a true editorial citation or an artificial link
looks for natural link growth over time
heavily biases search results toward informational resources
trusts old sites way too much
a page on a site or subdomain of a site with significant age or link related trust can rank much better than it should, even with no external citations
they have aggressive duplicate content filters that filter out many pages with similar content
if a page is obviously focused on a term they may filter the document out for that term. on page variation and link anchor text variation are important. a page with a single reference or a few references of a modifier will frequently outrank pages that are heavily focused on a search phrase containing that modifier
crawl depth determined not only by link quantity, but also link quality. Excessive low quality links may make your site less likely to be crawled deep or even included in the index.
things like cheesy off topic reciprocal links are generally ineffective in Google when you consider the associated opportunity cost
Ask
looks at topical communities
due to their heavy emphasis on topical communities they are slow to rank sites until they are heavily cited from within their topical community
due to their limited market share they probably are not worth paying much attention to unless you are in a vertical where they have a strong brand that drives significant search traffic

Ranking Factors of Major players - Part 4
Google Search
Google present the best relevant result among the major player like msn, yahoo, ask. Google did not have a profitable business model until the third iteration of their popular AdWords advertising program in February of 2002, and was worth over 100 billion dollars by the end of 2005.
Representing your on page content phrases at the locations like inbound links, internal link, at the start of the page title, at the beginning of your 1st page header, starting of your page then googler may filter the documents out of the search result. Other search engines follows the same kind of techniques but those algorithms are not as sophisticated and aggressively deployed as those used by google.
Your copy should look unique and natural. You also want to sprinkle modifiers and semantically related text in your pages that you want to rank well in Google. Duplicate content detection is not just based on some magical percentage of similar content on a page, but is based on a variety of factors. Both Bill Slawski and Todd Malicoat offer great posts about duplicate content detection. This shingles PDF explains some duplicate content detection techniques.
Here is a blog post about natural SEO copywriting which expounds on the points of writing unique natural content that will rank well in Google.
While Google is more efficient at crawling than competing engines, it appears as though with Google's BigDaddy update they are looking at both inbound and outbound link quality to help set crawl priority, crawl depth, and whether or not a site even gets crawled at all. To quote Matt Cutts:
“The sites that fit “no pages in Bigdaddy” criteria were sites where our algorithms had very low trust in the inlinks or the outlinks of that site. Examples that might cause that include excessive reciprocal links, linking to spammy neighborhoods on the web, or link buying/selling.”
Query Processing: While I mentioned above that Yahoo! seemed to have a bit of a bias toward commercial search results it is also worth noting that Google's organic search results are heavily biased toward informational websites and web pages.
Google is much better than Yahoo! or MSN at determining the true intent of a query and trying to match that instead of doing direct text matching. Common words like how to may be significantly deweighted compared to other terms in the search query that provide a better discrimination value.
Google and some of the other major search engines may try to answer many common related questions to the concept being searched for. For example, in a given set of search results you may see any of the following:
• a relevant .gov and/or .edu document
• a recent news article about the topic
• a page from a well known directory such as DMOZ or the Yahoo! Directory
• a page from the Wikipedia
• an archived page from an authority site about the topic
• the authoritative document about the history of the field and recent changes
• a smaller hyper focused authority site on the topic
• a PDF report on the topic
• a relevant Amazon, eBay, or shopping comparison page on the topic
• one of the most well branded and well known niche retailers catering to that market
• product manufacturer or wholesaler sites
• a blog post / review from a popular community or blog site about a slightly broader field
Some of the top results may answer specific relevant queries or be hard to beat, while others might be easy to compete with. You just have to think of how and why each result was chosen to be in the top 10 to learn which one you will be competing against and which ones may perhaps fall away over time.
Link Reputation: PageRank is a weighted measure of link popularity, but Google's search algorithms have moved far beyond just looking at PageRank. As mentioned above, gaining an excessive number of low quality links may hurt your ability to get indexed in Google, so stay away from known spammy link exchange hubs and other sources of junk links. I still sometimes get a few junk links, but I make sure that I try to offset any junky link by getting a greater number of good links.
If your site ranks well some garbage automated links will end up linking to you whether you like it or not. Don't worry about those links, just worry about trying to get a few real high quality editorial links.
Google is much better at being able to determine the difference between real editorial citations and low quality, spammy, bought, or artificial links.
When determining link reputation Google (and other engines) may look at
• link age
• rate of link acquisition
• anchor text diversity
• deep link ratio
• link source quality (based on who links to them and who else they link at)
• weather links are editorial citations in real content (or if they are on spammy pages or near other obviously non-editorial links)
• does anybody actually click on the link?
It is generally believed that .edu and .gov links are trusted highly in Google because they are generally harder to influence than the average .com link, but keep in mind that there are some junky .edu links too (I have seen stuff like .edu casino link exchange directories). While the TrustRank research paper had some names from Yahoo! on it, I think it is worth reading the TrustRank research paper (PDF) and the link spam mass estimation paper (PDF), or at least my condensed version of them here and here understand how Google is looking at links.
When getting links for Google it is best to look in virgin lands that have not been combed over heavily by other SEOs. Either get real editorial citations or get citations from quality sites that have not yet been abused by others. Google may strip the ability to pass link authority (even from quality sites) if those sites are known obvious link sellers or other types of link manipulators. Make sure you mix up your anchor text and get some links with semantically related text.
Google likely collects usage data via Google search, Google Analytics, Google AdWords, Google AdSense, Google news, Google accounts, Google notebook, Google calendar, Google talk, Google's feed reader, Google search history annotations, and Gmail. They also created a Firefox browser bookmark synch tool, an anti-phishing tool which is built into Firefox and have relationships with the Opera (another web browser company). Most likely they can lay some of this data over the top of the link graph to record a corroborating source of the legitimacy of the linkage data. Other search engines may also look at usage data.
Page vs Site: Sites need to earn a certain amount of trust before they can rank for competitive search queries in Google. If you put up a new page on a new site and expect it to rank right away for competitive terms you are probably going to be disappointed.
If you put that exact same content on an old trusted domain and link to it from another page on that domain it can leverage the domain trust to quickly rank and bypass the concept many people call the Google Sandbox.
Many people have been exploiting this algorithmic hole by throwing up spammy subdomains on free hosting sites or other authoritative sites that allow users to sign up for a cheap or free publishing account. This is polluting Google's SERPs pretty bad, so they are going to have to make some major changes on this front pretty soon.
Site Age: Older trusted sites may also be given a pass on many things that would cause newer lesser trusted sites to be demoted or de-indexed.
The Google Sandbox is a concept many SEOs mention frequently. The idea of the 'box is that new sites that should be relevant struggle to rank for some queries they would be expected to rank for. While some people have debunked the existence of the sandbox as garbage, Google's Matt Cutts said in an interview that they did not intentionally create the sandbox effect, but that it was created as a side effect of their algorithms:
"I think a lot of what's perceived as the sandbox is artefacts where, in our indexing, some data may take longer to be computed than other data."
Paid Search: Google AdWords factors in max bid price and clickthrough rate into their ad algorithm. In addition they automate reviewing landing page quality to use that as another factor in their ad relevancy algorithm to reduce the amount of arbitrage and other noisy signals in the AdWords program.
The Google AdSense program is an extension of Google AdWords which offers a vast ad network across many content websites that distribute contextually relevant Google ads. These ads are sold on a cost per click or flat rate CPM basis.
Editorial: Google is known to be far more aggressive with their filters and algorithms than the other search engines are.
Google published their official webmaster guidelines and their thoughts on SEO. Matt Cutts is also known to publish SEO tips on his personal blog. Keep in mind that Matt's job as Google's search quality leader may bias his perspective a bit.
A site by the name of Search Bistro uncovered a couple internal Google documents which have been used to teach remote quality raters what to look for when evaluating search quality since at least 2003
• Google Spam Recognition Guide for Raters (doc) - discusses the types of sites Google considers spam. Generally sites which do not add any direct value to the search or commerce experience.
• General Guidelines on Random-Query Evaluation (PDF) - shows how sites can be classified based on their value, from vital to useful to relevant to not relevant to off topic to offensive
These raters may be used to
• help train the search algorithms, or
• flag low quality sites for internal reviews, or
• human review suspected spam sites
If Google bans or penalizes your site due to an automated filter and it is your first infraction usually the site may return to the index within about 60 days of you fixing the problem. If Google manually bans your site you have to clean up your site and plead your case to get reincluded. To do so their webmaster guidelines state that you have to click a request reinclusion link from within the Google Sitemaps program.
Google Sitemaps gives you a bit of useful information from Google about what keywords your site is ranking for and which keywords people are clicking on your listing.
Social Aspects : Google allows people to write notes about different websites they visit using Google Notebook. Google also allows you to mark and share your favorite feeds and posts. Google also lets you flavorize search boxes on your site to be biased towards the topics your website covers.
Google is not as entrenched in the social aspects of search as much as Yahoo! is, but Google seems to throw out many more small tests hoping that one will perhaps stick.They are trying to make software more collaborative and trying to get people to share things like spreadsheets and calendars, while also integrating chat into email. If they can create a framework where things mesh well they may be able to gain further marketshare by offering free productivity tools.
Google SEO Tools
• Google Sitemaps - helps you determine if Google is having problems indexing your site.
• AdWords Keyword Tool - shows keywords related to an entered keyword, web page, or web site
• AdWords Traffic Estimator - estimates the bid price required to rank #1 on 85% of Google AdWords ads near searches on Google, and how much traffic an AdWords ad would drive
• Google Suggest - auto completes search queries based on the most common searches starting with the characters or words you have entered
• Google Trends - shows multi-year search trends
• Google Sets - creates semantically related keyword sets based on keyword(s) you enter
• Google Zeitgeist - shows quickly rising and falling search queries
• Google related sites - shows sites that Google thinks are related to your site related:www.site.com
• Google related word search - shows terms semantically related to a keyword ~term -term
Business Perspectives
Google has the largest search distribution, the largest ad network, and by far the most efficient search ad auction. They have aggressively extended their brand and amazing search distribution network through partnerships with small web publishers, traditional media companies, portals like AOL, computer and other hardware manufacturers such as Dell, and popular web browsers such as Firefox and Opera.
As they throw out bits of their relevancy in an attempt to keep their algorithm hard to manipulate they create holes where competing search businesses can become more efficient.
Search Marketing Perspective :If you are new to a market and are trying to compete for generic competitive terms it can take a year or more to rank well in Google. Buying older established sites with aged trusted quality citations might also be a good way to enter competitive marketplaces.
If you have better products than the competition, are a strong viral marketer, or can afford to combine your SEO efforts with traditional marketing it is much easier to get natural citations than if you try to force your way into the index.
Creating a small site with high quality unique content and focusing on getting a few exceptionally high quality links can help a new site rank quickly. In the past I believed that a link was a link and that there was just about no such thing as a bad link, but Google has changed that significantly over the last few years. With Google sometimes less is more.
At this point sometimes buying links that may seem relatively expensive at first glance when compared to cheaper alternatives (like paying $299 a year for a Yahoo! Directory listing) can be a great buy because owners of the most spammy sites would not want to have their sites manually reviewed by any of the major search companies, so likely Yahoo! and Google both are likely to place more than average weight on a Yahoo! Directory listing.
Also getting a few citations from high quality relevant related resources can go a long way to improving your overall Google search relevancy.
Right now I think Google is doing a junky job with some of their search relevancy, by placing too much trust on older domains and favoring pages that have only one or few occurrences of certain modifiers on their pages. In doing this they are ranking many cloaked pages for terms other than the terms they are targeting, and I have seen many instances of things like Google ranking real content home mortgage pages for student loan searches, largely because student loans was in the global site navigation on the home mortgage page.

Google Chrome - A Review
The day google released it's new browser it became a hot trend it self. Many posts are now availble on that topic and it's obvious. Some of the fulks has started to take the advantage and posted topics like "google chrome toolbar" , "Google chrome features" so that they will come on the result when some one search for that but belive me these post is not meant for that purpose
Some thing I collected in favour of Chrome
1. Chrome = IE + Mozila + Opera + extra Security
2. Different Tab positioning
3. auto fill address bar
4. 9 thumnails of Most visited sites by you
5. Drag drop facility
6. opensource browser
7.JAva virutual machine V8
8. “incognito” feature like IE 8's "InPrivate mode"
9. 57 time faster than IE
10.Simple Look
11. Zooming In
12. A star near the address input bar lets you bookmark a page, apparently
13. Down load status bar
14. No hard core google ads
15. Option to export data from the default browser. option for default URL, search engine
16. Google Chrome uses WebKit for rendering, which is the same rendering engine a Apple’s Safari browser
17. No data hijacking in the background
Chrome needs to take care
---------------------------
1.Google Chrome currently doesn’t support browser extensions (it does support plug-ins, such as Flash), till now.
2. No tool bar, won't help professionals
3.no Mac/Linux support only windows

Cuil - The World's Biggest Search Engine
Cuil.com is rocking now.
Cuil (pronounced [kuːl], "cool") is a search engine that organizes web pages by content and displays relatively long entries along with thumbnail pictures for many results. It claims to have a larger index than any other search engine, with about 120 billion web pages. It went live on July 28, 2008.[1][2]
Unlike other search engines,[3] Cuil's privacy policy states that it does not store records of users’ search activity or IP addresses.[4]
Cuil is managed and developed largely by former employees of Google: Anna Patterson, Russell Power and Louis Monier.[5] Another founder, Tom Costello, has worked for IBM and others.[6] The company raised $33 million in venture capital from Greylock and others.[7]

Ranking Factors of Major players - Part 3
MSN search.
MSN was showing results from inktomi and looksmart but when yahoo captured them it’s obvious for Microsoft to develop there own search
Descriptive page titles and page content are playing a vital role on the search result of msn. Internal pages are liked to grow well as compare to the main page.
Crawling of pages by msn is little poor if compared to Google and yahoo. They are no where comprehensive as compare to yahoo and Google when crawling big sites like ebay and amazon
MSN still left behind them self to distinguish quality back links from low quality backlinks. Some more back links can bias the results no matter what may be the quality. They stand a quite better in query processing as compare to yahoo as they process queries by meaning instead of literally that yahoo does. But still they are far away from Google.
As microsofts limited crawling history MSN is not as good as the other major search engines to differentiate between real organic citations and low quality links. The effect of ranking is quicker than other. Sites with relatively few quality links that gain
Site authority is being considered by all major search engines except MSN when evaluating pages. Also they are not as good as the other engines at determining age related trust scores. New sites doing general textbook SEO and acquiring a few descriptive inbound links (perhaps even low quality links) can rank well in MSN within a month.
Microsoft Content Ads is the most advanced paid search ad platform on the web.msn seems to be lacking editorial with its internal relevancy measurement team. They don’t even think from a social aspect.
MSN SEO Tools
MSN has a wide array of new and interesting search marketing tools. Their biggest limiting factor with them is that they have limited search market share.
Some of the more interesting tools are
• Keyword Search Funnel Tool - shows terms that people search for before or after they search for a particular keyword
• Demographic Prediction Tool - predicts the demographics of searchers by keyword or site visitors by website
• Online Commercial Intention Detection Tool - estimates the probability of a search query or web page being commercial, informational-transactional, or
• Search Result Clustering Tool - clusters search results based on related topics
You can view more of their tools under the demo section at Microsoft's Adlab.
They have MSN Search, Microsoft AdCenter, and Windows Live Search. All these things are pretty much the same thing and are meshed together, the only difference between them is that Microsoft does not know what brand they want to push.
From search marketing perspective if you do standard textbook SEO practices and actively build links it is reasonable to expect to be able to rank well in MSN within about a month. If you are trying to rank for highly spammed keyword phrases keep in mind that many of the top results will have thousands and thousands of spammy links. The biggest benefit to new webmasters trying to rank in Microsoft is how quickly they rank new sites which have shown inbound link bursts.
One note of caution with Microsoft Search is that they are so new to the market that they are rapidly changing their relevancy algorithms as they try to play catch up with Yahoo! and Google, both of which had many years of a head start on them. Having said that, expect that sometimes you will rank where your site does not belong, and over time some of those rankings may go away. Additionally sometimes they may not rank you where you do belong, and the rankings will continue to shift to and fro as they keep testing new technologies.
Microsoft has a small market share, but the biggest things a search marketer has to consider with Microsoft are their vast vats of cash and the dominance on the operating system front.
So far they have lost many distribution battles to Google, but they picked up Amazon.com as a partner, and they can use their operating system software pricing to gain influence over computer manufacturer related distribution partnerships.
The next version of Internet Explorer will integrate search into the browser. This may increase the overall size of the search market by making search more convenient, and boost Microsoft's share of the search pie. This will also require search engines to bid for placement as the default search provider, and nobody is sitting on as much cash as Microsoft is.
Microsoft has one of the largest email user bases. They have been testing integrating search and showing contextually relevant ads in desktop email software. Microsoft also purchased Massive, Inc., a firm which places ads in video games.
Microsoft users tend to be default users who are less advertisement adverse than a typical Google user. Even though Microsoft has a small marketshare they should not be overlooked due to their primitive search algorithms (and thus ease of relevancy manipulation), defaultish users, and potential market growth opportunity associated with the launch of their next web browser.
