How Search Engines Might Divine the Intent behind Regional Queries vs. Global Queries
Hi Jimmy, As I first started looking at more search patents, I wondered if there was value spending so much time with them - and I found the same thing that you just expressed - they can be a look into possible futures. I have seen a lot of them...

How Search Engines Might Divine the Intent behind Regional Queries vs. Global Queries
Hi Denver SEO, You're welcome. I suspect that local will become even more important to search engines. The recent rumors about Google possibly buying Yelp lend even more weight to the idea. I've been wondering if Yahoo would start doing more in...

Google Patent Granted on Duplicate Content Detection in a Web Crawler System
Hi Mobi, I agree - there's a lot of mythology and folklore surrounding many SEO topics. That's one of the reasons why I like looking at patents and whitepapers from the search engines. It's quite possible that methods described in the patents and...

Microsoft Tracking Search and Browsing Behavior to Find Authoritative Pages
Hi Maqool, Honestly, I rarely use those URL parameters. There are too many possible content filters and reranking processes that can come into play to make them completely useful. I'd rather spend time looking at the analytics for a site, and see...

Changing Google Rankings in Different Countries for Different Searchers
Hi Vijay, Good points. Making massive amounts of changes can be harmful to the traffic that you do receive, but making informed and controlled changes, with a more educated idea of the potential impacts that those changes may have can be helpful.

Creating an SEO Content Inventory
Hi Juggle, Thanks. I've found doing this kind of inventory useful for both large sites and small ones, but you're right that it is more difficult for larger sites. For those, it can even be helpful to create a limited inventory for the higher level...

How a Search Engine Might Analyze the Linking Structure of a Web Site
Hi Juggle, Thanks. It can be really helpful to start off with a strong internal link structure for a site to begin with. Unfortunately, I run across many sites where that hasn't been done, they need some serious work. I really liked the...

Do Domain Ages Affect Search Rankings?

Hi John, It's going to be interesting to see how much of an impact the decals might have. 100,000 decals might seem like a lot, but I'm wondering what percentage that is of businesses located in the United States. How frequently will be actually see...
