“Google’s order of results is automatically determined by more than 100 factors, including our PageRank algorithm.”
Would it be worthwhile for us to put our collective heads together to come up with the list of 100 factors?
Obviously, #1 would be Pagerank. Here are some others that I can think of:
1. Pagerank
2. Title tag text
3. Anchor text from inbound links.
4. Keyword density.
5. Alt tag text.
6. Broken links. (Google presumably penalizes for this.)
7. Anchor text in outbound links.
8. Hidden text. (Penalties.)
9. Text link navigation inside the site.
10. Fresh content.Anyone else want to take a stab at this? Is this something someone else on the web has already done?
Having a sitemap is a suggestion Google offers too.
Maybe that’s #11?
I’ve been doing some searching, and I found this at the Search Engine Watch forum regarding Google’s 100 factors. (Maybe this will be helpful to some of us newer SEO guys…
This list so far:

‘Inbound Link IP’
Thanks!

Volume of links is still #1, though less so than last year.
The difference between internal anchor text and external anchor text isn’t meaningful enough to mention them separately.
I believe ‘Inbound Link IP’ refers to the IP of the page offering the link, and whether it is shared with other links or with the target site.

It has been known for a long time that Google will penalize for excessive linking between sites on the same IP … eg a user linking his own site or sites to each other excessively. A good example of this was the pile of crap that was the .mds!
Thats a pretty exhaustive list and for the most part it’s based in common sense and knowledge of good web design which IMHO offers inherently good SEO!

This is more or less accurate. I’ve tried using unique but similiar IP’s for each domain and it seems that even this may be setting off flags with Google at times. The best bet is to have a unique C block for each domain if you want the maximum backlink credit for cross linked sites.
Still seems that backlinks is king regardless of on-page SEO work. While page content helps, links are still king…
What is a “C” Block?
thanks,
BSite Uses Adsense
this helps?
For instance, if you get hosting that offers unique IP’s for each site, it will often look like this:
66.197.89.117
66.197.89.118
66.197.89.119They are unique but share the “89” as a C block.
Ideally you would want each one to have a unique C block number to not flag the SE’s over cross linking.
An example would be:
66.197.89.117
66.197.90.118
66.197.91.119In this case it’s tougher to get nabbed for excessive cross linking.
This is what I believe to be accurate but like any SEO related matter, there are lots of varying opinions.
Regarding adsense, not sure if it does anything at all.
thanks!
