How do the search engines determine a ranking?

ANSWER: Posted on 12/23/2003

Great question. Search engines consider many factors and utilize complex mathematical algorithms to list/ rank their search results. They first look in their database for web pages they have indexed that contain the keywords being searched for. They then rank those pages according to the rules and regulations that they have set-up for their search queries.

It is important to know that each search engine utilizes it own criteria for determining the rankings. How they come up with their rankings is a closely guarded secret. They take into consideration factors such as the frequency, prominence, weight, proximity, and placement of the keywords that they are being searching for, as well as, things like incoming and outgoing links. Each of these (and other) factors are then given a certain amount of weighting and the pages with the highest scores are shown with the number one position returned considered to be the most relevant of all.

Along with finding the cheap web hosting services, you should also focus on the creativity of the web master who will be responsible for the web development and a perfect web design. Even if you do not want to carry on hosting in house then go for the dedicated servers .
