Complex problems often require simple answers. Quickly visioning and absorbing the detailed history of the Google Algorithm helped me get the whole complete picture of this complex beast &#8211; and I have been marketing\/webmastering online for over 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell &#8211; Google roams the web to collect vital information\/data for its end users and then ranks this collected data using its complex Algorithm or formula. Google uses over 200+ ranking factors to find its results or listings in its index. To complicate matters, from the very beginning,  webmasters and online marketers have tried to game\/trick\/influence these all-important rankings by countless underhand methods such as keyword stuffing, link buying, link spam&#8230; to manipulate Google&#8217;s rankings. In response, over the years, Google has introduced numerous major Algorithm Updates or changes to how it ranks and filters their rankings in order to keep them honest.  Some sites can even get a manual penalty from Google if they blatantly violate Google&#8217;s Webmaster Guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, free organic Google traffic is the cornerstone of any website. It can make or break your online business. It&#8217;s that important, so you must get a &#8220;handle&#8221; on what Google wants and expects from your site or business.<\/p>\n<p>Approach these informative infographics as a quick overview or history of Google&#8217;s complex Algorithm.
