-
Hi guys,
I have a question. Do you have an experience about google national and international ranking algorithm. For example, is the same algorithm for " Google.de " Germany, and " Google.com "???
For example, lot of tactics, are valid and effective on google.de and not effective on google.com, tell us about this .
Do you have any idea?
Share your skills please! we need your help!

Hi,
Algos do change around the world, different things can be seen in different markets.
For example Google will favour .com.au domains in the Australian market because it is country specific TLD's.
Sure you can GEO target the domain via webmaster tools yet it will not be as powerful.
Also country specific links will work in your favour and copy which meets the users language for your area.
Do some TLD's have more spamy things going on? Yes I agree some areas we see that .com market Google has really been fixing it up for a long time other markets are a bit slower to move, yet with all the recent changes to the algo like Panda we are seeing all TLD's come together in a more combined sense.
Hope this helps.

Legitimate link building can always offer value. All the standard link building metrics apply. What is the DA/PA of the linking site, is the site relevant to yours, what is the anchor text, etc.
If your site sells artwork, clearly anyone in the world might appreciate and buy from your site. If instead you offer local plumbing services, then a link from another country shouldn't hold as much value.
There are over 200 factors evaluated to determine a page's ranking in search results. PA and DA are two factors. What about the content and the other factors?

Hi Ryan, thanks for your answer.
I mean, on the google.de are more spammy results on serp, like on google.com
i am trying lot of keywords, lot of domains with a low DA and PA forexample both: 40/100 are ranking higher than PA and DA with 60 or 70/100.
Than, exchange links, spammy directory, so things are working well.
But what do you thing Ryan, about link building internationally, i take an example, you have the domain " Ryan.com" and you are writing in english right, and now you post an article about my company name in english language, and you place an hyperlink to my website, is this danger, or not?
I am interested to know more about internationally vs nationaly. For link building everything, if you have experience on this, tell me please.
thanks

The algorithms used for the various ccTLDs like Google.de are not the same as .com. For example, Panda has fully been implemented for .com.
I would highly advise adjusting any site that has been penalized or otherwise seen ranking issues in Google.com. The other Google updates will be updated eventually.

What are your opinions on the Google News vs Spanish Government Issue ?
Greg Sterling said: "Governments across Europe are justifiably alarmed by the declining fortunes of their respective newspaper industries. However punitive or parasitic taxation measures targeting Google, masquerading as copyright protections, are not the answer." Do you agree?

How do i get a description in my google local listing
My site is listed in the serps at number one but where google used to list the name of my site with the meta description below it, now Google lists my site title with my address to the right side and below it says Google+page instead of listing my meta description which had my key search phrase in it and also a call to action to see my video on my site. My click through was much better with the meta description below it and the call to action. is there any way i can get the description back under my title in the serps? Maybe by deleting my Google + page? Thanks in advance, Ron

What is the best method for getting pure Javascript/Ajax pages Indeded by Google for SEO?
I am in the process of researching this further, and wanted to share some of what I have found below. Anyone who can confirm or deny these assumptions or add some insight would be appreciated. Option: 1 If you're starting from scratch, a good approach is to build your site's structure and navigation using only HTML. Then, once you have the site's pages, links, and content in place, you can spice up the appearance and interface with AJAX. Googlebot will be happy looking at the HTML, while users with modern browsers can enjoy your AJAX bonuses. You can use Hijax to help ajax and html links coexist. You can use Meta NoFollow tags etc to prevent the crawlers from accessing the javascript versions of the page. Currently, webmasters create a "parallel universe" of content. Users of JavaScript-enabled browsers will see content that is created dynamically, whereas users of non-JavaScript-enabled browsers as well as crawlers will see content that is static and created offline. In current practice, "progressive enhancement" in the form of Hijax-links are often used. Option: 2

In order to make your AJAX application crawlable, your site needs to abide by a new agreement. This agreement rests on the following: The site adopts the AJAX crawling scheme. For each URL that has dynamically produced content, your server provides an HTML snapshot, which is the content a user (with a browser) sees. Often, such URLs will be AJAX URLs, that is, URLs containing a hash fragment, for example www.example.com/index.html#key=value, where #key=value is the hash fragment. An HTML snapshot is all the content that appears on the page after the JavaScript has been executed. The search engine indexes the HTML snapshot and serves your original AJAX URLs in search results. In order to make this work, the application must use a specific syntax in the AJAX URLs (let's call them "pretty URLs;" you'll see why in the following sections). The search engine crawler will temporarily modify these "pretty URLs" into "ugly URLs" and request those from your server. This request of an "ugly URL" indicates to the server that it should not return the regular web page it would give to a browser, but instead an HTML snapshot. When the crawler has obtained the content for the modified ugly URL, it indexes its content, then displays the original pretty URL in the search results. In other words, end users will always see the pretty URL containing a hash fragment. The following diagram summarizes the agreement:
