優質網站建立方式的額外說明
透過集合功能整理內容
你可以依據偏好儲存及分類內容。
2011 年 5 月 6 日 (星期五)
最近幾個月來,我們特別致力於協助使用者在 Google 搜尋結果中尋找優質網站。例如「Panda」演算法的更新提高了許多優質網站的排名,因此正在閱讀本文的讀者大多都可以不必擔心。但是,對於可能受到 Panda 影響的網站,我們還是希望能提供額外說明,讓您瞭解 Google 透過那些方式搜尋優質網站。
我們的建議是,發布者應持續努力在網站上提供最佳的使用者體驗,不要把過多精力放在研究 Google 目前的排名演算法或瞭解相關信號。某些發布者過於重視我們先前對 Panda 演算法所做的更新,我們今年預計推出近 500 項搜尋改善措施,但 Panda 只是其中一環。事實上,自 Panda 推出以來,我們已針對排名演算法進行數十項額外調整,某些網站卻誤以為自身排名的變化與 Panda 有關。搜尋可說是一門複雜且不斷變化的藝術與科學,因此與其把心力放在瞭解特定演算法的調整作業,不如專注於為使用者提供最佳體驗。
構成優質網站的條件為何?
我們的網站品質演算法會設法讓劣質內容的排名下降,藉此協助使用者找到「優質」網站。近期「Panda」更新處理的艱鉅任務,正是如何透過演算法評估網站品質。但退一步思考,我們想向您說明驅動這個演算法發展的背後構想和相關研究。
以下是一些可用於評估網頁或文章「品質」的問題。當我們撰寫試圖評估網站品質的演算法時,我們會問自己這些問題。因此,您可以將其視為我們對使用者想要的內容進行編碼的方法。
當然,我們不會公開演算法使用的實際排名信號,因為我們不希望任何人操弄搜尋結果;但如果您想進一步瞭解 Google 的思考邏輯,可以參考下列問題,大致瞭解我們如何看待這個議題:
-
您是否相信這篇文章提供的資訊?
-
這篇文章是由專業人士或是通曉並熱衷於內容主題的人士撰寫,還是本質上較膚淺的文章?
-
網站是否有主題相同或相似的重複、重疊或多餘文章,但關鍵字略有不同?
-
您是否願意提供信用卡資訊給這個網站?
-
這篇文章是否含有拼字、樣式或事實陳述錯誤?
-
這些主題是為了網站讀者的實際利益,還是網站僅為設法在搜尋引擎中取得較佳排名而提供內容?
-
文章是否提供了原創內容或資訊、原創報導、原創研究或原創分析?
-
比起搜尋結果中的其他頁面,這個網頁是否提供了更高的價值?
-
對於內容的品質管控如何?
-
文章是否涵蓋兩方的說法?
-
網站是該主題公認的權威網站嗎?
-
內容是否為源自許多創作者的大量生產內容、外包給大量創作者,或者遍布於網路上的眾多網站,導致個別網頁或網站無法獲得足夠的關注?
-
文章是否經過妥善編輯?是否會讓人覺得作者在草率敷衍或者是匆匆寫成?
-
對於健康方面的相關查詢,您是否信任這個網站的資訊?
-
提到這個網站時,您是否會將其視為權威的資訊來源?
-
這篇文章是否提供完整或詳盡的主題說明?
-
這篇文章是否含有深入分析見解,或是值得注意的資訊?
-
您會想要將這類網頁加入書籤、分享給朋友或推薦給他人嗎?
-
這篇文章是否含有過量廣告,導致讀者容易分心或干擾主要內容?
-
您希望這篇文章出現在紙本雜誌、百科全書或書籍中嗎?
-
文章是否太過簡短、不切實際,或缺乏實用細節?
-
網頁製作時是否重視細節?
-
使用者看到這個網站的網頁時是否會抱怨?
撰寫用於評估網頁或網站品質的演算法並非易事,希望上述的問題能說明我們如何撰寫能夠辨別網站品質優劣的演算法。
具體因應方式
我們聽到許多意見,表示想要進一步瞭解如何改善網站在 Google 上的排名;特別是如果您認為 Panda 更新對您造成影響,更會有此需求。不過,我們建議您在開發優質內容時將上述問題銘記於心,而不要為了配合任何特定的 Google 演算法進行最佳化處理。
我們提供的另一項具體指引是,網站某些部分中的劣質內容,會對整個網站的排名造成影響,因此移除劣質網頁、將個別膚淺網頁的內容合併或改為更實用的網頁,或是將品質低劣的網頁移到其他網域,最終都有助於提升優質內容的排名。
我們會繼續努力開發其他演算法的疊代更新,以協助經營優質網站的網站管理員從 Google 搜尋獲得更多流量。在改善網站成效時,與其著眼於對單一特定演算法進行調整,我們建議您像我們一樣以宏觀的角度問自己同樣的問題。這樣一來,您的網站長期下來就更有機會獲得較高的排名。別忘了,如果您有任何意見,歡迎透過網站管理員論壇與我們聯絡。我們會繼續關注論壇中的會話串,並將網站資訊傳給搜尋品質團隊,同時也會努力開發排名演算法的未來疊代更新。

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"]]
