Resuming How Google Finds & Evaluates High-Quality Sites (Pt. 1), here, we will continue discussing some of the specific elements of websites that can contribute to them being high-quality versus poor-quality from Google’s perspective.

Another Factor for Assessing High-Quality Sites: The Credibility of the Site

While this in-depth look at what constitutes a high-quality site from Google’s perspective is insightful, contact Epic Web Results for experienced help developing the best website for your business.

Another component of high-quality sites is being credible both in the industry or field related to the site and in the content and design of the site. To evaluate a site’s credibility, from the point of view of Google, ask yourself the following questions in relation to a given site (including your own):

  • Is this site an authority on a given topic or in a given industry?
  • Does this site present original, insight, comprehensive information or is it redundant, ambiguous and generic?
  • Would I submit my email address, credit card information or other personal information to this site?
  • Would I recommend this site to a friend or colleague?

A Few Final Words about High-Quality Sites

  • While the factors discussed in this blog series are among some of the primary components used by Google to evaluate high-quality versus poor-quality sites, they are by no means the only criteria used by Google.
  • On an ongoing basis, Google rolls out new and updated algorithms to continue to fine-tune it’s abilities to assess and rank sites based on their quality.
  • When developers focus on building sites that provide the best possible user experience (rather than building sites to be successful with a particular algorithm), they will usually be on the right track to building high-quality sites that should do well in Google and other search engines.
  • Given that there can be a lot that goes into building a high-quality site, it’s best to trust this effort to experienced professionals – like those at Epic Web Results – so you can be sure that you have a great site for your business, users and search engines alike.
