Relevance in Search Results

The ongoing pursuit by Google for greater relevance in search engine results has been shown in Patent filing #20050071741 - Information Retrieval Based on Historical Data. From now on Google algorithm will analyze the history of your web pages and the history of links to your website. All the information gathered will be used to determine relevance. If you want to prevent your website from disappearing in search results you need to create new content on existing pages and keep adding new web pages.

  1. Adding new pages is something I do, both to my personal site, and my business site. But I'm not understanding why one would add new content to existing pages...?

  4. I actually like this idea. It would keep newer more relevant information at the begining of your search results and will probably help with speed of locating the information you need. I assume pages that aren't updated are eventuallly dropped from googles database
