Google Tells us How Searches Actually Work

To be very frank, Google is in fact the best and reliable source for online information. In other words, we can say that ‘Google knows everything’. But, how does this search engine actually function. Let us move deep into the technical details. The search engine company has itself released report on how it functions from putting up websites on its search lists to keeping spammers at bay.

Google basically searches and follows each and every link available on the Worldwide Web or rather the internet. It tracks down the necessary links that a particular search gets and then inter-relates it to every other link. In a process known as the ‘Google Algorithm’, the search engine pulls out relevant pages and docs that are related to our searches.

The giant in the field on online searches is known to take into consideration, 200 factors on the basis of which results are listed in the search list. Such factors generally include popularity of the page, relevant info and commercial tie-ups. What’s more surprising is the fact that the list gets modified with the type of device we are using. For example, the search result list in case of a desktop may vary from that of a mobile.

Google is one such company which always tries to keep away spammers. It has succeeded in this field by developing a system of programs or algorithms that keep on changing continuously. The workers at the company are one of the best in business and do everything to keep spam post away.

Even thought spam posts are removed automatically, there are certain cases when spam posts creep into search results inadvertently. Under such unavoidable circumstances, ‘manual actions’ are taken.

So this how the entire setup of searching and delivering results on the basis of searches work. Thanks to Google, we can get everything we want from scientific information to details about top 10 restaurants to dine in our city.  This entire process is regulated by a sophisticated team of programmers and software developers. Such is the popularity, it was reported that 32 million searches were registered in just 800 seconds.

The prompt and quick service works out only due to the smart and quick algorithms that the search engine follows. Thanks to Google for being so friendly and transforming our lives forever.
