6. How Google Works
Googlebot is Google’s web crawling
robot, which finds and retrieves pages
on the web and hands them off to the
Google indexer.
Googlebot gives the indexer the full text
of the pages it finds. These pages are
stored in Google’s index database.
Google considers over a hundred
factors in computing a PageRank and
determining which documents are most
relevant to a query

7. Google algorithm
The formula Google uses to rank the resulting Web pages from a user's
query. Along with the PageRank system that was Google's major contribution
to evaluating Web site importance due to popularity, Google uses numerous
other criteria that change periodically to deliver more relevant results as well
as to prevent people from gaming the system.
9. Search engines want to do their jobs as best as possible by referring
users to websites and content that is the most relevant to what the user is
looking for.
Content: Is determined by the theme that is being given, the text on the
page, and the titles and descriptions that are given.
Performance: How fast is your site and does it work properly?
Authority (backlinks): Does your site have good enough content to link
to or do other authoritative sites use your website as a reference?
User Experience: How does the site look? Is it easy to navigate around?
Does it look safe? Does it have a high bounce rate?
What Search Engines Are Looking For
10. What Search Engines Are NOT Looking For
Keyword Stuffing: Overuse of keywords on your pages.
Purchased Links: Buying links will get you nowhere when it comes to SEO,

Poor User Experience: Make it easy for the user to get around. Too many
ads and making it too difficult for people to find content they’re looking for will
only increase your bounce rate.

page is about.

Length: Title tags should be a maximum of 70 characters long, including spaces.

tag, with your least important words being last in the title tag (most to least).

commas, underscores, dashes or any other punctuation unless the keyword is written
that way).
Wording: Keep your important phrases short and simple.
Company Name: If your company name is not part of the important (keyword) phrases,
put it at the end of the title tag
DON’T DUPLICATE Title Tags: They must be written differently for every page.
Make It Relevant: Title tags must be written to be descriptive of the content on the page.

meta description is the snippet of information below the link of a search result. Its purpose is

persuade the searcher to click through to your website. Any words that match the search
term are bolded in the description.
