Results Are In: Is SEOMoz's Ranking Factors Accurate? Mostly, Yes

Aug 28, 2009 - 8:29 am 2 by

Two days ago, I ran a poll asking our readers how accurate do they find the SEOMoz ranking factors survey. We have over a 160 responses in less than two days, so I thought I would post the results now. Overall, SEOs and webmasters find the survey to be accurate on some level.

Here is the break down:

Question: How Accurate Is the SEOMoz Search Ranking Survey?

:: Very Accurate said 72 respondents or 43% :: Somewhat Accurate said 63 respondents or 38% :: Not Very Accurate said 13 respondents or 8% :: Completely Worthless said 8 respondents or 5% :: Other answer... said 6 respondents or 4% :: The Absolute Truth said 4 respondents or 2%

So there you have it! Have what? I am not sure. :)
