What’s the best way to determine a web page value?
The best way to determine web page value is treating the outdated pages and getting rid of multiple pages.
It is believed that out-of-stock product pages are not at all useful to any visitor but still carry a lot of weight. So it is necessary to do something worthwhile for the visitors and to take SEO power for granted. Outdated pages can be made worthwhile by the following:
Preserve the page and add “Related product” section.
Put some new content on the old URL and move the old content to a new URL.
Delete the pages and let the return from 4o4 header (if any of the page that has no value at all).
Move the pages to archive and amend internal linking to “leak” less internal PR.
Keep the pages but remove all references from the site; if they have to little value then think about that.
Redirect the pages to new relevant version of 301.
Next is to get rid of some multiple web pages without loosing rankings or getting in to any sort of penalties. WebMasterWorld thread discusses the issues of removing multiple low quality pages as a benefit to the users.
But before deciding what to be done to these pages it is necessary to first define its SEO value. At the WebMasterWorld forums a thread was discussed on how to evaluate the worth of page, so how can a page SEO value can be determined?
Having a toolbar PR, Organic Ranking and Traffic are bad indicator. Pages with Graybar PR get many Google referred traffics and back links too. Organic Ranking cannot be a good performance indicator because ranking come and goes as and when. There are many criteria that influence rankings like Google personalization, Geo targeting, new “Search Wiki” Google feature, new competing pages, etc. just like ranking traffics are also temporary. Traffic comes and goes accordingly. Therefore, with help of this SEO value of pages cannot be determined. But external in-links can probably be a good indicator and with the help of external in-links SEO value of page can be determined because if the page is able to pass PR it does have value.

SEO experiment keyword rich links webmasterworld member

A webmaster world member asks “Hi guys, I am doing an interesting experiment on two of my more throw away domains. The experiment is testing to try and determine more information about how linking to the homepage affects rankings. The testing involves various controls – linking to the root domain from the nav only using ‘home’, linking from the nav using ‘main keyword’, linking from nav using ‘variations’ of keyword, linking from content only (while nav links saying home) to home using ‘keywords’ etc, etc.
First, I should mention some points about the domain.
4 years old Owned by me Dedicated IP Canonical comdomized HTML only Ranks top 5 in Google.com for main, second and third keyword phrases. Total of 90 pages, all unique content (written by me)
Testing was done over a 3 month period, with grace periods in between testing.
Here is so far what I have found. Might tell us a little about the threshold and re ranking filters
1. Linking home from every page in content using the same keyword caused 6 page drop in rankings.
2. Linking home using keyword in nav on all pages caused the same drop.
3. Link home from every page in content using variations caused a 3 page drop.
4. Linking home from the first 10 pages listed in google.com for site:domain.com/* brought increased ranking (from 5th to 3rd)
What is really interesting is that I gotten this down to the ‘by page’ factor. When I *slightly* cross the threshold and add links to two extra pages, and then wait until they are cached, I tip the scales and drop, to page 6.
What is further interesting is that linking home from content using variations of keywords WAS quite effective to a point, after which the site plummeted.
As well, this might point to a ‘hard line’ being crossed in terms of threshold, at one point I had the website going between position 4 and 51-60 for the same keyword every second day (flipping back and forth)
My test will be about trying to -950 the website by being ridiculously deliberate in nav linking, and then seeing if I can reverse the results by removing those (and how long it takes for the trust to be reinstated to the website) “

SEO firm sued by attorney General – Washington business

SEO firm sued by attorney General:

“
Visible.net and Captures.com accused of violating consumer protection and telemarketing laws
SEATTLE – The Washington Attorney General’s Office is suing a Redmond-based seller of e-commerce services whose failed promises to rev up Web traffic for small businesses drove many customers to file complaints.
“When it comes to Internet search results, every small business wants to pull rank,” Attorney General Rob McKenna said. “Merchants hoping to increase their online sales paid thousands of dollars to Visible.net and Captures.com but didn’t always receive the top listings and other services they were promised.”
The lawsuit announced today by the AGO was filed late Wednesday in King County Superior Court. It accuses Visible.net, Captures.com and their owner, Gilbert Walker, of violating state consumer protection and telemarketing laws.
The defendants also do business as WebMarketingSource.com and sell Web site design, search-optimization and other Internet marketing services, along with providing e-commerce services to process online purchases for merchant customers. They promote their services through their Web sites and by telemarketing. Packages include an initial startup fee of $3,749.99 up to $9,749.99 plus a monthly fee of $39.99 to $99.99.
Senior Counsel Paula Selis, an assistant attorney general who heads up the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection High-Tech Unit, said the Attorney General’s Office and Better Business Bureau have received nearly 90 complaints about the defendants, showing a pattern of recurring problems since at least 2005.
The suit accuses the defendants of the following violations, among others:
Failing to register with the Department of Licensing as a commercial telephone solicitor and failing to provide written confirmation of a consumer’s rights under the Commercial Telephone Solicitation Act.
Misrepresenting the ability to significantly increase traffic to customer Web sites by achieving top search-engine rankings and failing to deliver other promised services.
Falsely claiming an affiliation with other marketers including Specialty Merchandise Company, a so-called drop-ship wholesaler.
Claiming that its customer service representatives can be reached at any time when, in fact, customers are often unable to reach representatives and sometimes do not receive return calls.
Failing to provide refunds or honor cancellation requests.
Continuing to bill the credit cards of some consumers who have attempted to cancel and submitting alleged debts to collection agencies.
The state is seeking civil penalties and consumer restitution in addition to a court order halting the deceptive practices.”

Google’s Amit Singhal talks about technologies behind Google

Amit Singhal – Google Fellow and senior Google scientist has come up with a beautiful explanation on how well the technologies work behind the ranking algorithm of Google,

I agree with Amit that Search has come a long way from being a just a search engine to understanding more of users queries on what they want. Now Search engines can understand synonyms, complicated queries, language queries and a lot more of these type of stuff that were once far away from Google.

As per Amit Google has grown to a massive index from what it had been before. Now they have an index in multiple tera bytes before it used to be some Gigs Only. Now Google’s advancement in understanding pages had come a long way before it used to just be the keywords on the page title, and the backlink anchor text now it has become much more better. As he points out in the article even without the phrase “galleria sprovieri londra” the site sprovieri.com ranks No.1 because Google has much more sophisticated system to identify the authority of
a site.

Some of the examples he has given for understanding queries is excellent. Kofee annan is for someone searching for kofi annan and Google does say whether you are looking for it, similarly when someone searches for Dr.Zhivago then he is actually searching for a Dr with the name Zhivago where as when he is searching for “rodeo dr” he is actually searching for Rodeo Dr a road . similarly he talks about other queries like “back bumper repair” ramstein Ab, b&b ab which searches for Bed and Breakfasts in Alberta.

The most surprising query is the one where he talks about the new york times square’s famous church. Obviously New york times or Ny times refer to the famous magazine or website Nytimes.com. Now when a search like “new york times square church” Google has to figure out that its actually about the church in Madison square New york. Now when you check the query Google actually understands it pretty well and guides to the right site. Similarly as Amit Points out understanding the users are an other major factor. Google has to be the best in figuring out where the users actually came from that way they have the option to understand and deliver relevant results based on their local area requirements. Google does this very effectively.

Overall Google has been doing a great job and i wish Amit and everyone behind Google’s algorithm to bring more innovative things
