Counting The Number of SEO Search Engine Ranking Factors

Jun 15, 2006 - 7:36 am 0 by

When it comes to search engine optimization (SEO) there are hundreds of factors, some weighted more than others, that make up for which page should rank above the next. Discovering and documenting each factor is a daunting task. Rand over at SEOMoz has done an excellent job a while back documenting 103 Search Engine Ranking Factors, but that is not enough!

A Search Engine Watch Forums thread is calling for 200 listed onpage and offpage search ranking factors to be documented.

Who knows, maybe after the thread gets a bunch of response, just maybe, Rand will update his document with an other 97 factors. :)
