Came across this nice little infographic, thought i would share, can't vouch for the accuracy, but it seems that it covers all the main ones and sticking to this should be pretty handy when trying to rank.. feedback from the seo beasts of bhw should be interesting...

Holy Batman Nice Graphic!

Probably mostly correct, I'm just more amazed someone sat down and made this beast more than anything else!

This is great! I'm also amazed someone would do this for over 200 factors.... here's a non-text version (seems the same guy wrote it): Then you also got.... http://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors

Also, I've often used this page as a resource for ranking, I don't think it's been updated since last year, but it's still useful:

Pretty sure 50% of these "factors" can go to the load-of-crap bag. This infographic was made just to get backlinks free of charge and the info provided is a pile of the most used buzz words, something you can gather around the net if you hire a $20 VA on Elance.

Nice infographic if a tad littered with grammatical / spelling mistakes. Useful to keep reminding / embedding in your memory though. That said there are a few items that I disagree with from personal experience, along with some obvious common-sense ones.

I know one thing. With good onpage seo and tens of thousands of backlinks you can rank any site. You don't need updated/much conent, social stuff ..... only backlinks.

As many of you realize by now, you can only take what google says with a grain of salt. This stuff is great for noobies but not all of it is true and the only way you can find that out for yourself is by trial and error - yes it is likely you will lose money at first.

Sure, I would use this more as a 'introduction to SEO' rather than 'SEO bible' but it does cover a lot of the factors.. what would be nice would be to have an idea of the weight of each factor.. for sure some weigh much more than others.

Never listen to what Matt Cutts says.



When we read something Matt Cutts says, we look at it from an algorithm point of view, he looks at it from a user point of you.

This often means that when he says "the difference between a domain 6 months old and 12 months only does not really matter", algorithmically it may well matter a whole lot more important than what he says.

Matt Cutts is there to give you the information that will steer you the way he wants, he doesn't give you the factual information.
