Google is working on a new search system, that could have a major impact on the rating of all Holiday Site Builder customers.
Here is a direct quote from Google explaining the new system:
"For the last few months, a large team of Googlers has been working on a secret project: a next-generation architecture for Google's web search. It's the first step in a process that will let us push the envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness and other dimensions. The new infrastructure sits "under the hood" of Google's search engine, which means that most users won't notice a difference in search results. But web developers and power searchers might notice a few differences, so we're opening up a web developer preview to collect feedback."
One of our favourite sites for SEO tips is SEOBook.com. The following is an extract from SEOBook and gives some key tips for website owners.
- an increased weighting on domain authority & some authoritative tag type pages ranking (like Technorati tag pages + Facebook tag pages), as well as pages on sites like Scribd ranking for some long tail queries based mostly on domain authority and sorta spammy on page text
- perhaps slightly more weight on exact match domain names
- perhaps a bit better understanding of related words / synonyms
- tuning down some of the exposure for video & some universal search results
