Our Review of Google

The Google search engine (URL: www.google.com) launched in September 1999 is now the largest and most popular search engine by far on the internet. This is largely due to the top quality of Google’s Page Rank Technology which is based on link analysis (link popularity and link quality) and content analysis (relevance+freshness of content and location+frequency of keywords). Google crawls the web and maintains a huge index of cached pages (the largest among the search engines), that is updated often (approximately every 2 days) to show the freshness of its results.

Google is our top search engine but we also use other key players like Yahoo!, MSN, Ask Jeeves, Altavista and Teoma, as each search engine adds its own spice. You can rely on Google to give you the best resultant links with the content that you are looking for. This is due to Googlers who aggressively stick to their Quality value – There is no paid inclusion into the main results which is absolutely free and depends on the quality of your site – and to the Freshness of their main results.

Getting Listed in Google

Google uses a “crawler or spider” robots that automatically index pages on the web called GoogleBot. Google normally takes an average of 6 to 8 weeks to index a newly submitted site. When you submit your site URL to Google, GoogleBot pick’s up and goes through each link on each page. It reads through all your site web pages to take up keywords, then saves and indexes the pages into its catalog cache. So, it is important for you to keep all your pages linking to each other so that the google spiders have easy access to all your related page. And make sure to have a Site Map for all you pages.

Very Important: Getting indexed by GoogleBot is the primary step to getting ranked in Google, so donot expect immediate results for your pages to show up in searches. Give it some time and work on optimizing your web pages.

Why is getting listed with Google Important?

Google is not only the single most important search engine, it is also used to provide the “main results” for various other search engines. As of now (August 2004), AOL Search, Netscape (two of the top 10 search engines) and the Excite Network use Google for their main results. Google also provides its “Paid Results Ads” to search engines like HotBot, Lycos, Ask Jeeves and Teoma apart from AOL Search and Netscape.
