Google’s Recent Algorithm Update May Be Just A Stepping StoneWriting by Nick on Tuesday, 17 of July , 2007 at 9:44 am

A recent change in Google algorithms has the blogosphere in an uproar. I sometimes wonder just what Google is up to when they make their changes. I’m reasonably sure they do so many times just to remind us all of who in charge. You know, kind of like a God complex thing.

Tons and tons of interesting news to report from the last couple weeks, and rather than just report, I’m going to go ahead and give my opinions, too.

Search Engine Popularity Ratings - No one really knows what the search engine market share is, not Comscore, not Neilsen, not Hitwise. If they really managed data of the demographic variety and quality that they claim, the figures wouldn’t be as different as they are. Actually, I take back my initial statement - Yahoo!, News Corp, Hearst and other major media giants that control dozens of unique, high-volume domains, probably have a better sense of which engines control what percentages of searches. I really don’t see why the engines don’t publicize their numbers of unique visitors and unique searches each month - that data would help them sell ads and grow publicity - I don’t know what the downside is. Eyetracking and Article Design - Aaron posted about this on Monday and it’s got me thinking - if better content organization yields less time on page but greater recall and branding, the metrics we typically think about for measuring success may be a bit backwards. When I see that the average user spends only 70 seconds reading an SEOmoz post, I think - we need to be more interesting and more targeted with our blogs. I don’t think - wow, our content is really well organized and laid out. Jakob’s study would suggest that if we featured better layout, we’d actually be seeing “worse” metrics, with better results. PPC & SEO Work Better Together - This just sucks because now I need to go back and re-learn PPC. I used to be great at it 3 years ago, but the landscape has changed completely, and it looks like the “extra” visibility from having both a top PPC ad and top organic placement is truly worth the effort. Maybe I can just stick Rebecca on it
