Here's a summary of what Google's up to according to a recent patent application.
- Google will track who owns what domains, to crack down on spammers.
- Google will track user behaviour, I believe using My Search History. This is an opportunity for spammers to attack, and also threatens quality of results as often what I click on isn't want I need.
- Google will monitor content changes and return results appropriately, especially regarding searches which have increased loads recently.
- Google will track bookmarks and favourites along with cache files. This may signify a Google Browser, but I like to think they'll start looking at the likes of del.icio.us and digg more.
- Google may lower your page rank if your site changes topic drastically (i.e. you loose the domain to spammers who don't have your content).
- Google will take more notice of anchor text.
- Google will analyse more factors around links, like how long it has taken a website to gain its links, hinting that a decent site will take ages, whereas spam will get many overnight. They'll have to be careful with that one, but they are onto something.
Thanks to Massive for
