Google SEO Synergy

I would like to know if Google using synergism between the Google search engine and it's other companies/projects.

For example, I am blogging with the Google product Blogger and my blog has another Google product, which is Adsense so more specifically, my question is: Does using Blogger and Adsense (and any other Google products) have an impact on search results from Google searches?

Of course Google being the big company that it is, having many well thought out Policies and standards, so when Google is searching through countless web pages, and it comes across one that it is affiliated with it could be more inclined to give a page with Google content on it a higher ranking in search results. But the Google web crawler is a computer and cant make decisions, such as one regarding nepotism. However the program was created and maintained by humans and Google is a company, so it is entirely possible for the programmers or anyone involved to have made a decision to tell the crawler to give a preferential treatment to Google affiliates.

And we cant deny that instructing the Google search engine to direct traffic to Google affiliates isn't a good strategy because between sending a visitor to a site with Google affiliate content is much better for Google than sending the visitor to some site that has no Google content.

I see nothing wrong with Google search giving preferential rankings to Google affiliate, because ultimately search engine is only giving a list of options to the searcher based on inputted criteria, it is up to the discretion of the searcher to decide what it is they are looking for. And if Google search engine started just displaying page after page of Google only content, the control of traffic would increase for a short amount of time, but would inevitably decrease due to irrelevant results as an ineffective search engine and people would stop using it.

Fun Fact About Google

If you Google the word "Google" you get "About 13,860,000,000 results (0.24 seconds)" and the first link is for www.google.ca/, the second spot is for Google News and third is the Google Wikipedia page. Who could have guessed (other than me)?

Google You Fool

So I blindly punched in some none sensible characters into the Google search bar "6gsffeaq2d" and hit enter. As I expected I received the "No results containing all your search terms were found." So okay, but it also came up with "Did you mean: gsf fea 2d" oh yes, of course that's what I meant to enter, thanks Google. So of course I follow the revised spelling url and land on the same page, but now it asks "Did you mean: get tea today", so of course I follow the new suggestion and get a regular old results page with 597,000,000 results. That's a big jump from 0 twice up to almost 600 million.

So anyhow this little experiment has me thinking about the ways concepts, ideas, information in general can be altered and manipulated by individuals and become something entirely different, something that beers no resemblance to it's former self. Some examples that come to mind would be children, because a child is different from it's parent because of mutations, so every generation is slightly different than the last. Another example must be religion, in particular all of the controversy surrounding followers of the bible, debating whether stories in the good book should be taken literally, or just as guidelines about leading better lives and doing onto others as you would have them do onto you.

Inspection of Google Advanced Search Parameters

Deciphering the code

Let us start with: “&as_qdr=y10”, and then we will march ahead to dig out some more virgin treasures from this treasure blog land.

I searched and searched a lot on this particular term and finally reached to the unofficial conclusions as shown in this pictorial content:

I used the word ‘unofficial ‘since these full forms have not yet been confirmed by Google publically. But that hardly affects our topic so it is better not to waste time. Lets move ahead!

Dissecting the code

Example1: Suppose if at the end of my query URL (check out my previous post), I am appending the search parameter ‘&as_qdr=y5’, then it will Filter out my query result to fetch the results crawled by the search engine within the past 5 years


Example2: Similarly, if I am adding the parameter ‘&as_qdr=d12’ then as per my understanding and perhaps which is the right revelation, I will get all the results fetched by Google within the past 12 days.
The operators thus used in this form of query are described here:


d[number]: Gives the search result within the required number of days (e.g. d5 means within 5 days)

w[number]: Gives the search result within the required number of weeks (e.g. w5 means within 5 weeks)

y[number]: Gives the search result within the required years of weeks (e.g. y5 means within 5 years)

Improved search query

Scoring higher over the as_qdr queries is the ‘tbs’ that stands for ‘Time Based Search’ parameters. Though, both of them are equally efficient in getting you closer to the desired results, it is just that ‘tbs’ helps you penetrate way deeper into your search and allows you to obtain results updated by google in the past few hours, minutes and even seconds. Pretty magical!

Example3: Just to cite an example, the query, http://www.google.com/search?q=googlepenguin&tbs=qdr:m1


Will fetch the all the links created or updated about Google Penguin in the past 1 month.

Likewise, the search queries given below in the table along with their intended meaning will guide you even better:

Search Query	Stands For
&tbs=rltm:1	Results in real time
&tbs=qdr:s	Past Second
&tbs=qdr:n	Past Minute
&tbs=qdr:h	Past Hour
&tbs=qdr:d	Past 1 Day (24 hours)
&tbs=qdr:m	Past Month
&tbs=qdr:y	Past Year

Google Search Impediment

I have come across this problem with Google results many times and I am sure I am not alone. Sometimes when I use Google to search the Web looking for something with specific text similarities it comes back with a few results that look like what I might be looking for, I read the summary and I want to read more, but when I click the link the page somehow doesn't contain what I was reading in the summary. This is especially frustrating when the landing page is packed with dozens upon dozens of pages of content which then need to be searched through. In many cases this monstrous page is dedicated to one topic and even the find function becomes helpless because there are 60 instances of the term you are searching for, but none match what initially led you to the page.

It would be nice if Google could incorporate some sort of "jump to" option in search results, that would allow searchers to land on the exact content they were searching for, without having to sort through even more irrelevant data upon finding the proper page.
