A WebmasterWorld thread has discussion around one word - the word "useful."
Netmeg said it in a thread and senior member, Whitey pulled it out into it's own thread.
All Google wants is to rank web sites that are the most useful for their users for a relevant query.
So now the thread goes through what makes a site useful or not. Here are some tips on what makes useful websites pulled from the thread but note, there are many more in the thread.
- Offer better deals than your competitors
- Give easier filtering, comparing and selections than others
- Be mobile friendly and good at it
- Give users content they can't find elsewhere
- Anticipate your users and give them what they want
- Engage your users
There are many more tips on how to make your web site useful.
Some may argue that useful is not what Google ranks.
