Google Ranking Algorithm Introduction

We can't really know how the google algorithm works as long as search engine optimizers are constantly aiming and shooting at a moving target, but we can give you some insights about what is the google algorithm.

The first variable is the text inside your website, Google have a text machine system that check which theme(s) your website is about and how "good" is your content, this variable helps your website to have relevant advertissements if using Google Adsense. It also helps users on internet to have relevant SERP's regarding what keywords they used when researching on Google Search Engine.

The other variable of Google Algorithm is to calculates the link popularity of websites using the software PageRank. It gives your website a score from 0 to 10. But PageRank is only used for Google algorithm

A website with a PageRank of 7/10 will have better rankings than a website with 1/10.

The more you have inbounds and outbounds link on your website, the more you seem to have importance for google. Here linking is the key.

BUT beware of site-wide linking with google, Google seems to appreciate more 1 link of your website per domain name! Yahoo still loves site-wide linking.
