最近几个月,我们的工作尤其侧重于帮助用户通过 Google 搜索结果发现优质网站。“熊猫”算法的调整提高了大量优质网站的排名,因此你们当中大多数人无需对此担心。不过,对于可能受到熊猫算法影响的网站,我们想就 Google 如何搜索优质网站提供进一步的指导。
我们继续建议发布商专注于在网站上提供最佳用户体验,而不是过度研究 Google 当前的排名算法或衡量因素。一些发布商一直紧盯我们之前的熊猫算法调整,但熊猫算法只不过是我们预计今年发布的约 500 项搜索改进之一。事实上,自从熊猫算法发布后,我们对排名算法实施了十余项额外调整,而一些网站错误地认为其排名的变化与熊猫算法有关。搜索是一门复杂且不断演变的艺术与科学,因此,我们建议您专注于为用户提供最佳的体验,而不是关注具体的算法调整。
怎样才算是优质网站?
我们的网站质量算法旨在降低质量欠佳内容的排名,从而帮助人们找到“优质”网站。最近的“熊猫”算法调整解决了通过算法评估网站质量这一棘手的任务。退一步说,我们想要说明一些推动着我们算法发展的理念与研究。
以下是一些可用于评估网页或文章“质量”的问题。我们在编写评估网站质量的算法时,会问自己诸如此类的问题。不妨将这看作我们在开发我们认为用户需要的产品/服务时所遵循的方法。
当然,我们不会披露我们的算法所采用的实际排名衡量因素,因为我们不希望人们戏耍我们的搜索结果;但是,如果您想深入了解 Google 的思维方式,可通过以下问题了解我们如何看待此问题:
-
您是否信任这篇文章提供的信息?
-
这篇文章是由熟悉此主题的专家或爱好者撰写的,还是内容过于浅显?
-
网站是否包含主题相同或类似、关键字变体略有不同的重复、重叠或多余的文章?
-
您是否愿意向此网站提供信用卡信息?
-
这篇文章是否有拼写、样式或事实错误?
-
主题是否与网站读者的真正兴趣一致?网站有没有抱着尝试猜测哪些内容可能会在搜索引擎中获得较好排名的心态生成内容?
-
文章是否提供原创性内容或信息、原创性报告、原创性研究或原创性分析?
-
与搜索结果中的其他网页相比,此网页是否具有实质性的价值?
-
对内容做了多少质量控制?
-
文章是否从正反两面作了描述?
-
网站是否是所涉主题的公认权威?
-
内容是否是由或外包给很多创作者共同创作而成,或者是否已在大量网站中广泛传播,以至于个别的网页或网站没能获得同等程度的注意或关注?
-
文章是经过精心编辑,还是貌似草率或制作仓促?
-
对于健康相关查询,您是否信任此网站提供的信息?
-
当提及名称时,您是否会将此网站看作权威来源?
-
文章是否提供了对主题的完整性或全面性描述?
-
文章是否提供了富有洞察力的深刻见解或有趣信息?
-
您会将这种网页添加为书签、分享给朋友或推荐给他人吗?
-
文章是否包含过多会分散用户注意力或干扰主要内容的广告?
-
您觉得这样的文章会出现在印制的杂志、百科全书或书籍中吗?
-
文章是否简短、内容不充实或缺少有用的具体细节?
-
网页的制作是精心谨慎、注重细节,还是对细节重视不足?
-
用户浏览此网站上的网页时是否会抱怨?
编写网页或网站质量评估算法是一项艰巨的任务,但我们希望上述问题有助于您深入了解我们如何编写区分优劣网站的算法。
可以采取的措施
你们当中有许多人向我们反映,希望获得有关如何提升在 Google 上的排名的更多指导,尤其是当您认为自己受到熊猫算法更新的影响时。我们建议您专注于开发优质的内容,并在这个过程中考虑诸如上文所述的问题,而不是试图针对任何特定 Google 算法进行优化。
我们提供的另一条具体指导是,网站某些板块中质量低劣的内容可能会对网站的整体排名产生影响,因此,移除质量低劣的网页、合并或改善各个内容肤浅的网页并使之成为有用的网页,或将质量低劣的网页移至其他网域,最终会有助于提高您的优质内容的排名。
我们将继续开发其他算法迭代更新,协助运营优质网站的网站站长从搜索结果中获得更多流量。在您不断优化网站的过程中,我们建议您像我们一样从宏观角度问自己同样的问题,而不是关注特定的算法调整。如此一来,从长远来看,您的网站更有可能获得较好的排名。与此同时,如果您有任何反馈,请通过我们的网站站长论坛告诉我们。
在我们开发排名算法未来迭代更新的过程中,我们会持续监控论坛中的帖子,并将网站信息传递给搜索质量团队。

Site owners should focus on user experience and content quality, not specific algorithm tweaks. They recommend assessing content through a series of quality-focused questions, removing or improving low-quality content, and avoiding content created solely to rank well. Google also provides a page for tracking core updates and encourages feedback through their Webmaster Forum.\n"],null,["Friday, May 06, 2011\n| We now post about core updates on our [List of Google Search ranking updates](https://status.search.google.com/products/rGHU1u87FJnkP6W2GwMi/history) page. To learn how core updates work and how you can assess and improve your content, see [Google core updates and your website](/search/updates/core-updates).\n\n\nIn recent months we've been\n[especially](https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/finding-more-high-quality-sites-in.html)\n[focused](/search/blog/2011/04/high-quality-sites-algorithm-goes)\non helping people find high-quality sites in Google's search results. The \"Panda\" algorithm change\nhas improved rankings for a large number of high-quality websites, so most of you reading have\nnothing to be concerned about. However, for the sites that may have been affected by Panda we\nwanted to provide additional guidance on how Google searches for high-quality sites.\n\n\nOur advice for publishers continues to be to focus on delivering the best possible user experience\non your websites and not to focus too much on what they think are Google's current ranking\nalgorithms or signals. Some publishers have fixated on our prior\n[Panda\nalgorithm change](https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/finding-more-high-quality-sites-in.html), but Panda was just one of roughly 500 search improvements we expect to\nroll out to search this year. In fact, since we launched Panda, we've rolled out over a dozen\nadditional tweaks to our ranking algorithms, and some sites have incorrectly assumed that changes\nin their rankings were related to Panda. Search is a complicated and evolving art and science, so\nrather than focusing on specific algorithmic tweaks, we encourage you to focus on delivering the\nbest possible experience for users.\n\nWhat counts as a high-quality site?\n\n\nOur site quality algorithms are aimed at helping people find \"high-quality\" sites by reducing the\nrankings of low-quality content. The recent \"Panda\" change tackles the difficult task of\nalgorithmically assessing website quality. Taking a step back, we wanted to explain some of the\nideas and research that drive the development of our algorithms.\n\n\nBelow are some questions that one could use to assess the \"quality\" of a page or an article. These\nare the kinds of questions we ask ourselves as we write algorithms that attempt to assess site\nquality. Think of it as our take at encoding what we think our users want.\n\n\nOf course, we aren't disclosing the actual ranking signals used in our algorithms because we don't\nwant folks to game our search results; but if you want to step into Google's mindset, the\nquestions below provide some guidance on how we've been looking at the issue:\n\n- Would you trust the information presented in this article?\n- Is this article written by an expert or enthusiast who knows the topic well, or is it more shallow in nature?\n- Does the site have duplicate, overlapping, or redundant articles on the same or similar topics with slightly different keyword variations?\n- Would you be comfortable giving your credit card information to this site?\n- Does this article have spelling, stylistic, or factual errors?\n- Are the topics driven by genuine interests of readers of the site, or does the site generate content by attempting to guess what might rank well in search engines?\n- Does the article provide original content or information, original reporting, original research, or original analysis?\n- Does the page provide substantial value when compared to other pages in search results?\n- How much quality control is done on content?\n- Does the article describe both sides of a story?\n- Is the site a recognized authority on its topic?\n- Is the content mass-produced by or outsourced to a large number of creators, or spread across a large network of sites, so that individual pages or sites don't get as much attention or care?\n- Was the article edited well, or does it appear sloppy or hastily produced?\n- For a health related query, would you trust information from this site?\n- Would you recognize this site as an authoritative source when mentioned by name?\n- Does this article provide a complete or comprehensive description of the topic?\n- Does this article contain insightful analysis or interesting information that is beyond obvious?\n- Is this the sort of page you'd want to bookmark, share with a friend, or recommend?\n- Does this article have an excessive amount of ads that distract from or interfere with the main content?\n- Would you expect to see this article in a printed magazine, encyclopedia or book?\n- Are the articles short, unsubstantial, or otherwise lacking in helpful specifics?\n- Are the pages produced with great care and attention to detail vs. less attention to detail?\n- Would users complain when they see pages from this site?\n\n\nWriting an algorithm to assess page or site quality is a much harder task, but we hope the\nquestions above give some insight into how we try to write algorithms that distinguish\nhigher-quality sites from lower-quality sites.\n\nWhat you can do\n\n\nWe've been hearing from many of you that you want more guidance on what you can do to improve your\nrankings on Google, particularly if you think you've been impacted by the Panda update. We\nencourage you to keep questions like the ones above in mind as you focus on developing\nhigh-quality content rather than trying to optimize for any particular Google algorithm.\n\n\nOne other specific piece of guidance we've offered is that low-quality content on some parts of a\nwebsite can impact the whole site's rankings, and thus removing low quality pages, merging or\nimproving the content of individual shallow pages into more useful pages, or moving low quality\npages to a different domain could eventually help the rankings of your higher-quality content.\n\n\nWe're continuing to work on additional algorithmic iterations to help webmasters operating\nhigh-quality sites get more traffic from search. As you continue to improve your sites, rather\nthan focusing on one particular algorithmic tweak, we encourage you to ask yourself the same\nsorts of questions we ask when looking at the big picture. This way your site will be more likely\nto rank well for the long-term. In the meantime, if you have feedback, please tell us through our\n[Webmaster Forum](https://support.google.com/webmasters).\nWe continue to monitor threads on the forum and pass site info on to the search quality team as\nwe work on future iterations of our ranking algorithms.\n\n\nWritten by\n[Amit Singhal](https://profiles.google.com/115744399689614835150/about),\nGoogle Fellow"]]
