How Google analyzes the top keywords on your website

How does Google find the top keywords of your website?

All major search engines index web pages based on the individual words that they find on the page. If certain words and phrases appear together on the same page, search engines assign a topic that is related to these words to the page.

For example, the words “Paris” and “Hilton” are associated with a woman instead of a city and a hotel, the words “Tiger” and “Woods” are associated with golf.

Google’s patent application indicates that Google might plan to tell you what they believe are the top keywords for your website and let you suggest changes to these phrases.

How can Google find the relation between words?

Google has billions of web pages in its index. If Google finds that many web pages contain both the word “Paris” and the word “Hilton” then Google might assume that these keywords are related. The other words on these pages could give Google a hint that this special word combination is about a woman.

If you want your website to be indexed by search engines, it is important that your site has a good link architecture. The link architecture of your website is the method that you use to link from your website pages to other pages of your website.

How search engines find the web pages on your website

search engine robotSearch engines use so-called spiders or robots to index web pages. Search engine spiders are relatively simple software programs. When they visit your web pages, they follow all links that they can find on the page to index the other pages of your website. Most search engines follow only text links.

Yahoo, MSN and AskJeeves gain against Google

According to the study, Google is still number one in the search industry, followed by Yahoo, MSN, AskJeeves and Lycos.

Yahoo and MSN have made significant gains against Google since their last survey. Yahoo, MSN and Ask Jeeves also saw a notable increase in their standing in the Keynote Future Usage Index, which measures the likelihood of consumers to use a search site as their primary search tool and to return to the site in the future.

The index also measures a user’s likelihood to recommend a search site to others or to use a search toolbar offered by the site.

Since the last study, Yahoo has boosted the number of users who said they would consider the site as their primary search engine by more than 20% and MSN by almost 30%. More than 81% of Yahoo users and 61% of MSN users said they would return to those sites in the future.

These numbers support recent comScore findings that indicate that Google’s lead in the search engine market is diminishing.

What does this mean to your search engine optimization activities?

AltaVista, Excite and Webcrawler all have been the hottest search engine until a new player took the lead. Although it doesn’t seem that this will happen to Google soon, you shouldn’t concentrate your search engine optimization activities on Google alone.
