Google's Site Ranking Secrets
vivin writes "Ever wonder how Google's site ranking works? Wonder no more. Google recently filed United States Patent Application 20050071741 on March 31, 2005. This patent reveals a great deal of information about Google's site ranking algorithm and makes very good reading. For example, one of the criteria that they use is the number of years that your site has been registered. If your site has been registered for less than a year, then it counts against you. A site registered for a longer period of time means that the owner is probably serious about the site, and the site is probably legitimate. Google's Site Ranking algorithms reveal how hard they are making it for spam sites to get listed (on Google). This information will also make it easier for you to make sure that you get listed well in Google."

Best. Post. Evar.
A computer makes it possible to do, in half an hour, tasks which were completely unnecessary to do before.
Third post motherfuckers!

Nice to see Slashdot's editors upholding the standard we've all come to expect...
They should indeed.
:) Perhaps I need an editor too :)

How many typos are there in this?!
Proof reading? No? Okey-dokey!

Lesson 1. When criticizing spelling, perhaps one shuld [sic] ensure that one spells and types correctly so as to not inadvertantly become hypocritical.
This clearly refers to page ranking of sites based in Nigeria (.ne domain).
how hard they are making it for spam sites to get listen (on Google).
Google -- thankfully -- is totally deaf to the sites operated by spammers.
Mongrel News all the news that fits and froths
The person submitting the article might be a Nigerian Neon salesman called Nehemiah who lives in Nebraska, you insensitive clod!
The same can be said of Microsoft and their patents.
Oh wait, this is Slashdot.

They way he spells is totally irrelevant, and you know that.
It's goddamn unbelievable that the so called editors can't find time to do spell/dupe checks.

I'm sick of reading incoherent rubbish in submissions. Editors, do some editing! I mean, is this your job or what?
1) I got to the site just fine.
/. slowdown.
Same here, no problems, not even a hint of
2) What does ASP have to do with sites going down?
An anti-MS dig I'd wager. Personally, I've had more problems visiting sites that run with MySQL and PHP (normally DB connection limits), but YMMV...
post something vaguely anti-Microsoft and you'll soon have a host of pro-Microsoft replies.
This doesn't happen that often. What is much more frequent is when someone posts a pro-MS comment they will not only get flooded with anti-MS replies, they will likely get modded Troll or Flamebait regardless of the quality of the post. Same with Google, though a little bit less so than with Apple (two companies frequently and disproportionaltly whored by the Slashdot editors).
Russia is no longer a soviet country, when it was a soviet country, there was no google.
Why do people feel the need to make their text turn red when you have your mouse over it? What are they trying to convey? That their text is dangerous? That their site is cool? Why?
You are, perhaps, being a little unfair to the Slashdot Editors here. It's the community that does most of the modding, not the Editors.
It would be foolish to contend that there isn't something of a pro-Linux leaning on Slashdot, rather than pro-Microsoft, but that just represents the community that use it.
Something is happening here but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr Jones.
I gotta copy this post. It has gotten modded up to +5 in like the past twelve google stories. Sometimes +5 insightful.. usually +5 funny though.

OTOH, the help view is remarkably heinous. The way it mangles the text is extraordinarily un helpful.
"2) What does ASP have to do with sites going down?"
Since ASP is a server side script, it means the machine has to do more processing than say an HTML file every time it serves it. PHP's in the same boat, but I have no idea if it takes more or less processing power per page than ASP.

Go back in time to:
1950 buy shares of General Electric
1970 trade them in for IBM
1980 trade them in for Microsoft
1990 trade them in for Apple
1996 trade them in for Amazon.com
2001 sell.
2003 wager it all that the RedSox will win the world series next year.
