Site Load Speed and San Diego SEO
Thursday, December 22, 2011
However,
Google has not always been vocal about the weight or importance of site
load speed as a factor within their algorithm. I believe this is
largely due to the importance of site load speed as a ranking factor.
Admitting just how important it is would be like showing their cards at
the table.
Now
that the Google algorithm has been impacted by so many changes (Google
caffeine, Instant, Panda, etc.), I believe they are ready to share what
they know. My friends at a well-known San Diego SEO firm
have been tracking the importance of site load speed with a number of
their clients over an extended period of time and have seen significant
improvements in search results when sites render more quickly.
They've
used this experience to build sites like www.rankmywebsite.net to leverage their know-how and help small business owners succeed online. Using real data is truly the only way to see the impact of this ranking factor and these guys are industry experts who know what works because they’re testing around the clock.
So, how does this affect your site? Two words: Google Analytics. Eight
out of ten of the world’s leading sites run it and if it’s free. Google
Analytics provides invaluable insight by measuring every metric
imaginable and delivering the data in a format that’s easy to
understand. Recently, Google added Site Load Speed to the analytics category available through your account. The video in this post will teach you to access this information and make use of it for analyzing the speed of your site. A
good measuring stick for site speed is to see how your site measures up
against the frontrunners in your niche, which this software does
for free (and pretty accurately). The faster your site loads in comparison to competing sites, the greater weight Google will give your site.
Finally, an important caveat to always consider when trying to improve your website visibility is that Google will never publish their proprietary formula for delivering search results; if they did, they would reveal the secrets that make their search results so accurate and most of what you’d see would be spam or low quality content. The best determinant of what works is simply testing everything you do. Keeping good records and regularly analyzing your on-site and off-site search engine optimization efforts will pay dividends that far outweigh the extra time it takes to do so.

On-page SEO is also a important part of SEO. If our site does not perform well how it will be rank better.
Google is really one of the greatest web tool ever, because it never stop amusing us with free and useful web applications.
Hopefully Google keeps improving their formula to help the white hat SEO companies to succeed. You make a good point about double checking the records. Good article.
