How does Google work?

1. Relevancy. You need to write the words that you want to rank for on your website. (unless you got a shitload of links of course)

2. Power. You need to have other people talking about your site. (Links)

3. Brand. If you are a brand, you do not need to have as good content or links as other ones for ranking.

Show the exception too ffs.(link to exception)

Search engine history

Boring, but you’ll understtand better by knowing...

Starting to get harder

and harder to show up if

you are not a brand

Search engine history

1990’s: Only content matters. Mention the word most times, and you will be number 1 in Search Engines. Mention the words with most searches most times, and you will have most traffic. Example site

You could also buy spot 1 in search engines.

Result: This was too easy to trick. Search engine results became spammy and no-one used that search engine anymore.

Boring, but you’ll understtand better by knowing...

Search engine history

2000’s: Google is launched 1998. Google changed everything with their PAGERANK algorithm.

Google now counted links to sites and ranked them by BOTH content and Links.

Result. This was hard to trick. Google’s search result became the best one. Everybody started to use Google. They won.

Result 2. SEO-dudes started to make sites. A lot. And sell links.

Last slide was not that boring, right?

What links?Google counted every link as a ”vote” for that website. The website that mentioned a word, and had most votes reached number 1 in Google.

These ones are links

Google today

One example of google sucking

at seo some slides further

2010’s: Google finds out who are the ones trying to trick the search results with links, and filters them out

But Google wants to show the best search result

...so the sites with ”best content” gets away with a lot....and Brands gets a lot of benefits....Google also wants to show a diverse search result (means that one site of every type should show)

November 2013: Google does not know SEO

Google tomorrow?1. Google will start to know for real which

websites they should show in top, and stop counting stuff.

2. More intelligent ways of knowing what you want regardless of what you search.

3. Google becomes the internet. Only way to get traffic is through AdWords.

4. Google pushes their own services over the edge and people start using other search engines?

These ones are all just

me guessing

Get the most out of Google - Content is king?

Work with things that works NOW. (Good content + Good links)

Content:• Markup less important (h1, h2 mm) but still

used.• Relevancy more important than ever.• Write more free. Google know synonymes and

variations...

...But of course not in finnish...

Get the most out of Google – Brands are Chuck Norris

Become a ”Brand”:

Google favours brands. But how to tell Google that you are a brand?

Become a brand: Have a company-name, have links from sites listing companies. Have an address and phone-numbers on your site. (Have a Facebook page with many fans), have links from other brands and authorities, have links from articles (newspaper, PR) about your brand. Have a named person behind your content (G+ integration).

Google does not know seo

Google found it, aaah, here it is, let’s put it back where it was!

Google has a SEO-guide. It ranked at spot #2. They moved it. They fucked up the 301 redirect.

Mediaanalys added the same guide to their own site.

What do you think

happens?

Google Hummingbird update

Hummingbird – not really a filterGoogles first step toward intelligence.

Google changes the meaning of your search term to something better if they think it is bad:

”Boende Stockholm under Ishockey VM” Hotell Stockholm”jag skall studera i stockholm, var kan jag bo?” Lägenheter i Stockholm

Killer

whale

Racoon

Any other black/white animal

Future Google

• Free wireless internet to whole world.• Balloons all over the globe

• Going in to solar- and windpower.• Buys land in Sahara

• Probably going to be ”the internet”.• Or overdo shit, loose users, and go bankrupt
