Search Engine Ranking by animatours.com
How do search engines work? Search engines help people find relevant information
on the Internet. Major search engines have huge databases of web sites that
surfers can search by typing in some text. Search engines send out spiders or
robots, which follow links from web sites and index all pages they come across.
Each search engine has its own formula for indexing pages; some index the whole
site, while others index only the main page. Search engines decide the amount
of weight that will be placed on various factors that influence results. Some
want link popularity to be the most important criterion, while others prefer
meta tags. Search engines use a combination of factors to devise their formulas.
Often confused with search engines, directories are completely different. Unlike
search engines, directories use "human indexing;" people review and
index links. Directories have rigid guidelines that sites must meet before being
added to their index. Therefore, they have a smaller, but cleaner index.Yahoo!,
LookSmart, MSN, Go and others are directories. Factors that influence search
engine rankings are irrelevant to directory rankings. Since people review sites,
more attention is placed on the quality of a site: its functionality, content
and design. Directories strive to categorize sites accurately and often correct
categories suggested by a site's webmaster.
