In fact, in 1998 Vinod Khosla (one of the first investors in Google) managed to convince Larry Page and Sergey Brin to sell their technology to Lycos, Excite, or Yahoo, the leading search engines of the time, for a paltry million dollars so that they could go back to focusing on their research at Stanford University.<\/p>\n<p>While each company took the time to review Larry Page\u2019s and Sergey Brin\u2019s work, they passed on the opportunity of purchasing it. The companies were simply not that concerned with search quality; they figured their results were good enough and that they needed to differentiate themselves from the competition by other means.<\/p>\n<p>When the two friends decided to pursue their search engine anyway, they made focusing on search quality their top priority. They even put it in their mission statement: \u201cOrganize the world\u2019s information and make it universally accessible and useful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Google has stayed true to this commitment more than a decade later. It still dedicates tremendous amounts of resources figuring out how to deliver the best possible results.<\/p>\n<p>However, when a search engine is dealing with millions of searches each second &#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/competition\/howgooglesearchworks.html\" target=\"_blank\">15 percent (or 500 million queries per day)<\/a>\u00a0of which it has never encountered before- how does it make sure that it is delivering the best possible experience? The answer is that it uses a combination of automatic and manual review processes.<\/p>\n<p>Because automatic review processes (such as\u00a0PageRank, Panda, and Penguin) have been discussed so often, this piece will focus on the more manual ways that Google gathers data to judge search result quality.<\/p>\n<h2>Millions of Everyday Users<\/h2>\n<p>In the interest of improving its algorithm, Google performed more than 20,000 experiments on its search results in 2010. Much of the data from these experiments comes from placing a percentage of users into specific buckets.<\/p>\n<p>If you use Google, you are likely unwittingly helping the company improve their results as part of one of these experiments right now. Based on the outcome of these experiments, Google makes more than 500 changes to their algorithms each year with each one typically impacting a small percentage of search engine results.<\/p>\n<p>Experiments might be as simple as split testing their website layout or as complicated as altering millions of search engine rankings in an attempt to improve their quality.<\/p>\n<h3>Website Statistics<\/h3>\n<p>The primary way that Google gains data about its search results is through basic usage statistics.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ho9od35yvs05ejqn.zippykid.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/seo-search-quality.jpg\" alt=\"seo-search-quality\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For instance, if you happen to look for a dentist using Google and you click on the first result, Google can indirectly measure your reaction to the website by seeing whether you return back to the search engine results page (SERP) and click on another link.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear you didn\u2019t find what you were looking for if you have to return to the search engine to click on another link. Google\u2019s goal is to provide you with what you were looking for in the least amount of time possible.<\/p>\n<p>Google knows what types of usage patterns to expect based on query intent (navigational, informational, or transactional) and aggregates data on each link\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>Statistics they collect include bounce rate and time spent on site. Even though these statistics are indirect, they tend to be incredibly accurate at predicting if a user has liked the content they clicked on.<\/p>\n<p>Another way that Google can gather search result quality data is by looking at page load speeds from people who have installed their<a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/toolbar\/ie\/index.html\">\u00a0<\/a>Toolbar. You can see the data Google has collected from users about your site\u2019s speed in Google Analytics &amp; Webmaster Tools. While Google also tests website speeds when its bot is crawling the web, the Toolbar provides the company with more information about real world conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>Social Media Metrics<\/h3>\n<p>Google started gathering social media data quite a few years ago. Since Google does not have fire hose access to Twitter and Facebook, they have been hesitant to trust social signals, but these signals are becoming an ever-growing part of its algorithm.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, Google relied almost exclusively on backlinks to determine how to rank sites. The problem with this approach is that it only lets webmasters decide whether your site is high quality.<\/p>\n<p>Social media signals are the democratization of search engine quality measurements. Basically, social media has the potential to let everyone vote on whether a page should be ranking in Google. If you share a website on your social media profiles, it likely means that you viewed the site favorably.<\/p>\n<p>Social media data will play a huge role in the future of search and will be heavily drawn upon by search engines to determine how people are reacting to content online.<\/p>\n<h3>Surveys &amp; Questionnaires<\/h3>\n<p>While indirect data from its users is great, Google still has a difficult time understanding why users don\u2019t like certain pages. It has plenty of data, but it needs to transform it into information through analysis and evaluation to make sense of it all. As a result, it has started to take more direct feedback from its users as well.<\/p>\n<p>As a search engine optimizer, I conduct a fair amount of searches each day (so much so that I often have to type in a CAPTCHA just to use the service). The following images are from my real world experiences.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ho9od35yvs05ejqn.zippykid.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Google-Improve.jpg\" alt=\"Google-Improve\" width=\"1275\" height=\"706\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After searching Google for \u201clocal search engine optimization\u201d, they presented me with the box in the right hand corner. The box asked me to rate two different pages for relevance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ho9od35yvs05ejqn.zippykid.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/google-result-1.png\" alt=\"google-search-quality-result 1\" width=\"766\" height=\"468\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the pages that Google was looking for information on was a Search Engine Watch article.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ho9od35yvs05ejqn.zippykid.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/google-result-2.png\" alt=\"google-search-quality-result 2\" width=\"765\" height=\"469\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The other page Google wanted input on was for a local search engine optimization company.<\/p>\n<p>After visiting the two pages it\u2019s fairly obvious what Google was looking for with its questionnaire. Since the query I typed into Google (\u201clocal search engine optimization\u201d) is ambiguous, Google wasn\u2019t sure what type of content to show.<\/p>\n<p>They were checking to see if people were looking for articles on\u00a0local search engine optimization\u00a0(an informational query), or if they were looking for a company to hire (a transactional query).<\/p>\n<p>I voted for the Search Engine Watch article, as the majority of people must have, because Google has recently begun integrating News results into the query. Now rather than showing local SEO companies near the top of the SERP, Google is showing more articles instead.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks later I performed a Google search for \u201cgreat science fiction novels\u201d to check on the types of queries for which it was using its new slider.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ho9od35yvs05ejqn.zippykid.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/experimental-google-.png\" alt=\"experimental-google\" width=\"766\" height=\"425\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After performing the search, I noticed a feedback button that I hadn\u2019t seen on any of the other sliders. When I clicked on it, the following buttons showed up:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ho9od35yvs05ejqn.zippykid.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/crowd-sourced-experiment.png\" alt=\"crowd-sourced-experiment-google\" width=\"768\" height=\"425\" \/>Google was looking for input on the types of books that should be in the slider. If enough people feel that a certain book should not be in the slider, Google likely removes it.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, if you look at the results right now, you will notice that several of the books seen above no longer appear on the first slide.<\/p>\n<p>Another survey tool that I have seen Google use is the one below:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ho9od35yvs05ejqn.zippykid.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/search-quality-survey.png\" alt=\"search-quality-survey\" width=\"421\" height=\"254\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The survey came in the form of a chat box in the right hand side of the screen and asked me to judge the page of results as a whole.<\/p>\n<h2>Google Search Quality Raters<\/h2>\n<p>Since around 2005, Google has used an army of hired\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/how-does-google-use-quality-raters\/37413\/\">search quality raters<\/a>\u00a0to ensure that its results are up to par.<\/p>\n<p>Because Google still relies mostly on indirect measurements of quality, it uses search quality raters to look at poor performing pages and determine why users didn\u2019t like them.<\/p>\n<p>This feedback\u00a0mostly makes its way back to Google\u2019s engineering department\u00a0so that it can develop more experiments. This feedback doesn\u2019t usually have a direct impact on your site\u2019s rankings. You can see the exact guidelines Google gives its search engine quality raters<a href=\"http:\/\/static.googleusercontent.com\/external_content\/untrusted_dlcp\/www.google.com\/en\/us\/insidesearch\/howsearchworks\/assets\/searchqualityevaluatorguidelines.pdf\">\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Webmaster Tools Spam Reports<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ho9od35yvs05ejqn.zippykid.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/SERP-Spam-Report.png\" alt=\"SERP-Spam-Report\" width=\"768\" height=\"236\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another manual method that Google relies upon to ensure quality search results is through its<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/webmasters\/tools\/spamreport?hl=en\">Webmaster Tools spam reporting<\/a>\u00a0interface.<\/p>\n<p>Spam reports come from a variety of sources including victims of scams, disgruntled SEOs, and copyright owners.<\/p>\n<p>Google employees go through the reports and can manually penalize sites that they come across.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>As you can see, Google is serious about the quality of its search results. Google is a living, breathing organism fed by enormous amounts of data.<\/p>\n<p>The company is in constant flux, exploring ways to improve the quality of its search results. As long as search engine optimizers continue to outsmart Google\u2019s algorithms (which will happen for the foreseeable future), Google will keep using manual data gathering techniques to enhance their algorithm and penalize manipulators.<\/p>\n<p>What other tactics have you seen Google use to gather more manual forms of search quality data?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a full service SEM agency, we often field questions about how and\/or why Google makes changes to its Search Engine Results Pages. \u00a0The only honest answer to that question is &#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221; \u00a0It&#8217;s very difficult to predict Google&#8217;s next move. \u00a0This is especially true for our SEO clients. \u00a0They&#8217;re making changes all the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,71,74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-search-engine-optimization-2","category-search-engine-placement-2","category-social-media-marketing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
