What is Google Algorithm?

 What is Google Algorithm?

Google Algorithm is a method that is used to retrieve data from the search index. Google algorithm provides the best possible results whenever you search a query on google.

Search engines use a combination of algorithms and multiple ranking factors to deliver ranked web pages based on relevance on result pages (SERPs).

How Does the Google Algorithm work?

Here are some points are written below, which you can read and understand how the Google algorithm works.

1. Meaning of the query

Google knows what the user is looking for and provides accurate information to its users.

Let's understand it this way:

Like when a user searches something on Google, what exactly is the meaning of the words used in the language. What does the user want to search for? Definition, review, purchase, search a specific website?

Sometimes it is quite simple. For example, when the user searches for "New Phone Buy" in the search box, it is clear that the user is looking to buy something.

But when the user asks any kind of question which has many meanings. In this case, Google provides additional options for the answer to that question, which help in specifying the search results.

For example, look at this disambiguation for the keyword "suit":

2. The relevance of pages

Google's algorithm finds out which pages are relevant to the user who has made a search query. So that he can answer his user in the best and best way.

Google's bots regularly crawl and index websites, in which the key role of keywords is when a user searches the page with a phrase related to the search query and that page appears, then the page is relevant to the user.

3. Quality of content

If you do some search in Google, then there are likely to be many pages in Google's SERP, so Google gives priority to only that website's page which provides quality content.

Google Algorithm sees which website's page contains elements of expertise, authoritative credibility, which is called PageRank Algorithm.

PageRank measures the number of website pages in the search result and counts the quality and number of links to the page to understand how important a website is.

                                                    How it works to see in the picture

Looking at the image above, you can see that there are 3 main factors that affect the PageRank of a page.

• How much are backlinks
• Linking page quality
• number of linking pages

The more backlinks a website gets from quality pages, the more likely it is that Google will consider you a high-quality page.

4. Usability of pages

After checking the relevance and quality of the content, Google has to ensure that the website has a good usability and is SEO friendly.

This includes technical aspects such as:

• page response
• Perfect appearance in all browsers
• page speed
• website security

These are the most important tasks to be taken care of when other factors (such as relevance and quality) are equal.

Note: The Google algorithm keeps on doing better so that the user can get the best results.

If we talk about core web vitals, it consists of "a set of metrics related to speed, responsiveness, and visual consistency"

5. Google Algorithm Updates

Google algorithms are divided into two categories.

1. minor update
2. key updates

Google keeps on making many changes in its algorithm to give the best results to its users.

which many times you can not pay attention

In addition, Google rolls out some major core algorithmic updates every year. This is usually very important for organic search results.

Here I am going to tell you some important Core Algorithm Updates.

  Here is a list of the most popular algorithm updates that are updated to the Google algorithm.

For example, you wrote the keyword how to make money online, then you noticed that the content didn't rank, you wrote how to make money online then this content overlaps and Google Hummingbird doesn't like it at all.

And one thing that Google Hummingbird likes very much is conversational tone. If you are using it in your blog, then you will make Google Hummingbird happy.

Conclusion: I would like to say one thing while going that in the world of digital marketing, it is very important for us to always be aware of new updates.

And it also has to be implemented. If you do not follow the rule of the Google Algorithm, then your website blog will never rank in Google's SERP.
