Google making changes in its local search algorithms


With Google making changes in its local search algorithms, checking rankings for local business listings for geo-targeted terms is getting a bit difficult. Google also takes into account the searcher’s location and alter its search results to prefer local listings. So, searching for keyword “chicago pizza”, a person sitting in Chicago may get somewhat different results from a person sitting somewhere else. Sometimes, a person searching from outskirts, or suburbs, of major city do not get same results as a person searching from within city limits or center of city. However, there’s a way to determine local rankings with considerable accuracy. Google provide a Custom Location option in left hand s! ide menu options on search result pages (sometimes hidden under search Tools option). This lets you customize your search location. Make sure you are not logged into your Google account and disable personalization results based upon search activity.

Google Analytics supports Regular Expressions

It is not a good idea to have a very large number of links in the website footer. Some websites simply put their entire HTML sitemap in their footer menu having hundreds of links in it. This could be seen as keyword stuffing or spamming by search engines and can lead to some form of penalty. Link to only the most important internal pages from footer, top or side menu.


It is good idea to evenly distribute your links between these navigation menus. This was recently discussed by a Google representative in Webmasters Help Forum thread. It is always a good idea to provide a search functionality to users or a link to detaile! d HTML sitemap.

Many people often confuse the term Mobile Website and subsequently between SEO and Mobile SEO. The mobile version of a website is primarily made to be displayed on WAP and mobile web browsers of old feature phones.

Latest smartphones such as iPhone 3G and many Android based phones are capable of displaying almost all website on the web except for some with heavy multimedia content which are subject to bandwidth capability of mobile devices. However, choice of serving a version on a particular device rests with the webmaster or owner of the website based upon the usability. Some website serve mobile version of their content to smartphone users since it is more user-friendly on the smaller screen. Hence, there isn’t much difference in SEO and Mobile SEO.
