Have you ever wondered how Google works, how it gathers information, analyzes and returns information for searchers? And more importantly, how does it rank result pages?
Here is the explanation from Google:
The software behind our search technology conducts a series of simultaneous calculations requiring only a fraction of a second. Traditional search engines rely heavily on how often a word appears on a web page. We use more than 200 signals, including our patented PageRank™ algorithm, to examine the entire link structure of the web and determine which pages are most important. We then conduct hypertext-matching analysis to determine which pages are relevant to the specific search being conducted. By combining overall importance and query-specific relevance, we’re able to put the most relevant and reliable results first.
For more details, take a look at the infographic below from PPCBlog:

The video “How Search Works” by Matt Cutts will tell you what happen when you do a web search and the mechanism behind it.
Understanding how Google Search Engine works will help us do SEO for our websites better, so I hope you have found more useful information from this post.
