... What Google knows about your domain
There's a lot of speculation about the information that Google has about domain names...
... In 2006, Google became a domain name registrar but they haven't offered domain registration services in the meantime...
... There must be another reason why Google decided to become a registrar...
... What does Google know about your domain name and what do they not know...
... Why did Google become a domain registrar...
... It seems that Google doesn't intent to buy or sell domain names...
... It's much more likely that Google wanted to have greater access to domain information...
... As a registrar, Google has access to the APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) of other registrars...
... While Google doesn't have access to the customer records of VeriSign or other registrars, they can now easily query their WHOIS records...
... What can Google do with that information...
... Google probably wants to analyze domain names...
... By regularly checking the WHOIS information of a web site, Google can track the history of a domain name...
... That allows Google to find relations between different domains names and changes in ownership...
... If a domain name has a new owner, Google might reconsider the value of the domain name in the ranking algorithm...
... Some people buy old domain names to avoid the Google sandbox effect and to benefit from existing links...
... If Google can detect the ownership change of a domain name, it might become more difficult to benefit from old domain names...
... What is "sandbox"and how to get out of Google's sandbox If your web site has good rankings on Yahoo, MSN and other search engines but not on Google, it's likely that your web site has been put into Google's sandbox...
... In general, brand-new web sites with new domain names need about 6 - 8 months to get top rankings on Google...
... The usual process is that Google indexes the new web site, lists it for some less important queries and then the web pages drop from the search engine result pages for several months...
... Although other search engines work fine, Google doesn't list the web site, sometimes not even for the company name...
... Why does Google delay the inclusion of brand-new web sites...
... It seems that Google delays the inclusion of brand-new web sites to encourage webmasters to build content instead of building mini-networks...
... If you have a new web site, expect that your web site will be listed within 6-8 months in Google...
... Add content to your web site, get good incoming links and make sure that your web pages are optimized for Google...
... As soon as you have a domain name, create a temporary page and link to it from another web site to make Google aware of your web site...
... The sooner Google knows about your web site, the sooner it will be listed...
... By the way, Yahoo and MSN don't have such a delay so don't focus on Google alone but also optimize your web pages for these search engines...
... Google wants to return high quality web sites with good content in its result pages...
... Google's sandbox and TrustRank What can Google not do...
... Google cannot access the customer information of other registrars...
... That means that Google cannot access your data if you use the domain privacy services that some registrars offer...
... It's difficult to tell what Google really does with the domain data...
... It's probably best not to try to cheat Google with domain purchases just for SEO purposes...

... Big changes on Google (P1, P2)
PART1: Big changes on Google to come Google has announced a major update that will affect the ranking of web pages in Google's index...
... In contrast to the usual algorithm updates, this update will be much bigger because it changes the way Google works behind the scenes...
... Google has given the update the name "Bigdaddy"...
... Google uses a network of data centers with different IP addresses to answer search queries...
... Less spam, more content and a new Google spider...
... Google is updating the data center infrastructure to handle potential spam problems such as 302 redirections or canonical URLs more efficiently...
... In addition, the new infrastructure will allow Google to develop more advanced algorithms and larger databases...
... When Google “canonicalizes” a url, we try to pick the url that seems like the best representative from that set...
... Another reason for the new data center infrastructure is that Google wants to be able to index different content types...
... Google is now testing a new search engine spider that is based on the Mozilla browser...
... If you have a spam free web site with good content and many incoming links, the update should have a positive effect on your Google rankings...
... Supplemental results in Google are from an alternate index...
... Google usually only uses this index if they cannot find relevant results in their normal index...
... Google augments results for difficult queries by searching a supplemental collection of web pages...
... Why does Google put so many web sites in the supplemental index...
... It seems that this is simply a bug in the transition to the new Google data centers...
... One of the main reasons for Google's latest update was that Google wanted to solve problems with canonical URLs...
... It might be that Google makes some web sites supplemental to identify the main domain of the site...
... Then Google might respider these sites using the new algorithm that can better handle canonical URLs...
... In the WebmasterWorld forums, a Google employee who posts under the name Googleguy asked webmasters to send their feedback to Google: "I'm happy to ask someone to check this out...
... As soon as Google has rebuilt the new index, your web pages should be back in Google's main results...
... If your web pages are still in the supplemental results in a week or two, contact Google at the email address mentioned above...

... Google ranking secrets revealed...
... Google has recently filed a patent that details many points that Google uses to rank web pages...
... The title of the patent is "Information retrieval based on historical data" and it confirms the existence of the Google sandbox and that it can apply to all web pages...
... In this article, we're trying to find out what this means to your web site and what you have to do to optimize your web pages so that you get high rankings on Google...
... How your web page changes influence your rankings on Google The patent specification revealed a lot of information about possible ways Google might use your web page changes to determine the ranking of your site...
... Google measures content changes to determine how fresh or how stale a web page is...
... Google tries to distinguish between real and superfluous content changes...
... Google says that stale results might be desirable for information that doesn't need updating while fresh content is good for results that require it...
... Google possibly records the following web page changes: - the frequency of changes - the amount of changes (substantial or shallow changes) - the change in keyword density - the number of new web pages that link to a web page - the changes in anchor texts (the text that is used to link to a web page) - the number of links to low trust web sites (for example too many affiliate links on one web page) Google might use the results of this analysis to specify the ranking of a web page in addition to its content...
... " This means that the Google sandbox phenomenon may apply to your web site if you change your web pages...
... How your domain name can influence your rankings on Google The patent specification revealed a lot of information about possible ways Google might use your domain name to determine the ranking of your site...
... Google mentions specific types of information relating to how a document is hosted within a computer network that can influence the ranking of a web site...
... For example, Google tries to determine the legitimacy of a domain name...
... According to Google, valuable domains are often paid for several years in advance while doorway or throwaway domains are rarely used for more than a year...
... To determine the value of a domain, Google records the following information: - the length of the domain registration (one year several years) - the address of the web site owner, the admin and the technical contact - the stability of data and host company - the number of pages on a web site (web sites must have more than one page) Google claims that they have a list of known bad contact information, name servers and IP addresses that helps them to find out whether a spammer is running a domain...
... In addition, the patent specification claims that Google might check the information of a name server in several ways...
... First of all, you should make sure that your web page content is optimized for Google...
... You might want to register the main domain name for your web site several years in advance to show Google that you are serious about your site...

... Microsoft, Google and Yahoo support GeoRSS
This week, Microsoft announced their new Live Maps, in addition to supporting Firefox on Windows for 3D, now supports the GeoRSS standard...
... They join Google which recently announced the support of GeoRSS and KML mapping in their Google Maps API...
... As for KML, Google Earth's file format, this new Google Maps integration is not unrelated to the recent announcement of internet-wide KML search capabilities within Google Earth...
... KML and GeoRSS Support Added to the Google Maps API One of the things I love most about Google Maps and Google Earth is that it's easy for anyone to create and display new geographically referenced content...
... Whether it's pictures from your vacation, favorite places on the globe, or the hiking trails you like to visit, all you have to do is create a KML file (using Google Earth or any other tool) and load it up...
... This idea that you can view data from external sources inside Google Maps and Earth is really exciting to us, and I'm pleased to announce two major new features in this area...
... To start we now support GeoRSS as a data format for geographic content in Google Maps...
... We want to enable users to create data in whatever format is most convenient for them, and feel that by supporting both KML and GeoRSS we can enable a wider variety of people and applications to contribute content to Google Maps...
... For example, take a look at SlashGeo's GeoRSS on Google Maps...
... Most importantly, we've extended support for displaying geographic data -- both KML and GeoRSS -- into the Google Maps API...
... Below is an example that shows KML and GeoRSS layers rendered on a Google Maps API powered map...
