How Does a Search Engine Rate a Website?
No one knows. "WHAT?!?!" I hear you thinking. "I came here to find out how a search engine works." Well the simple fact is that every search engine does things a little bit differently and the method for collecting, cataloging and rating the data that it does have changes probably on a daily base. Also the people who create these search engines would rather not tell us how it's all done. If I told you how to get your site at the top of search engines would you? Most people would say yes. Be honest now, does your site belong at the top of the search engines? Is it the best site in your category? If not, you'd be cheating the system, and that's what the creators of these search engines hope to prevent. Remember this is just software lurking around the Internet trying to determine which sites are the most relevant to any particular search query that they get at some future time. Basically what they hope to be able to come up with is a system that brings the most relevant and substantial site to the top of each query no matter what the category may be.
