Here at Hull SEO, there didn’t seem to be much evidence that the computer OS or browser type had any significant role in the re-ranking
processes or mean averages. As mentioned earlier, further testing could include isolating aspects such as Google ToolBars
being installed, state of java script & so forth.
There was also an interesting fact in that the lone Safari browser on Mac had the cleanest information. Meaning that when they
looked at the mean average rankings, this set up had the rankings that best represented the average ranking. It is been
known to not be compatible with Google personalized search which may have been relevant.

Technical aspects of what they learnt

What they learned so far

At this point there aren’t likely any giant affects relating to the technical set up of the searcher in query.
How much flux is there in the rankings?
There was certainly considerable movement in the rankings to the extent that no one result sets were the same.
Sometimes there were minor adjustments & others with movements from 9th up to 2nd which is a healthy move thinking about
the location above the fold.
What is worth noting is that this wasn’t truly reflected in profiles with personalized search ON more so than when it was
disabled for the most part; re-ranking existed with & without personalized search.

There is also instances where personalization enabled results & then paused state results (same user) showed
considerable retention of personalized results (or at least ranking anomalies). This could insinuate a level of non search history
related signals as well. Another consideration is that they haven’t inquired in to the strongest performing URLs from the queries
to establish relative competitiveness of the query spaces. More competitive search terms may have greater (or lesser)
levels of re-ranking.

Ultimately, while the information showed a fair amount of re-ranking, there was not to truly reshape one’s SEO programs
or reporting. That is to say those potential behavioural re-rankings are not generating a giant flux that inhibits valuations. Not
that those behavioural signals aren’t having a pre-delivery ranking effect; fundamentally that they don’t seem to be having a major
role in re-ranking by personalized search or query analysis.
Top canines & usual suspects – There was a tendency for the top 10 results to be re-ranked over complete
upheaval across the top 20 placing. For the most part the first page rankings remained consistent as a group in the majority
of query spaces & there were nominal placement of URLs not found across all the results.

What is affecting the rankings (& what are the effects)?
Thinking about the affects of having personalized search turned on were often minimal, there seems to be other factors at
play here – some causation could be related to;
> Behavioural – information other than search history could also be affecting as previous searches prior to the experiments,
logged or not, could have an effect (query analysis comes to mind). In the future ensuring that respondents restarted

This was even more evident in the top 3-4 placed URLs for most of the queries. The top results were often unchanged or
interchanged. Thinking about the tendencies noted at this point there is small evidence of severe re-rankings such as pages
ranking 20th moving in & out of the top 10.

They can also take note that the weaker listings in the top 10 are the ones most likely to be moved out of the top 10 when
any type of re-ranking outside the usual suspects occurs (common urls). This means they are still interested in ranking top 4 on
a mean average (query a set of DCs for ranking reports) as they are never if ever dumped from the top 10 in re-ranking
scenarios.

their computers/browsers & start new search sessions would limit this effect better.
& that is this set of information – keep in mind these are generic informational searches. None of the queries tested
involved a high level of QDF (query deserves freshness) nor geographic triggers. They do know that these factors can easily
generate a higher level of SERP re-ranking & flux.
Personalization seems to have the greatest effect on the weakest urls in the results information sets. The ranking anomalies they
noted in the information were often found in both the active & disabled personalized search setting. Generally speaking any
personalization re-ranking would be minimal & dampening effects, while evident, seem to be relatively benign in nature.How can they make the most from it?

Summary – Adapting the Hull Search Engine Optimisation plan
At this point there may be evidence to warrant further inquiry but not to abandon
rankings as an indicator in your SEO programs. If anything, there is evidence that makes a top ranking (1-4) more valuable
than ever. These positions were shown to be the strongest with the least amount of movement due to re-ranking.
Above the fold still holds value
What is also important is how one valuates these rankings. Identifying target markets & getting mean search ranking information
from these locales is an important aspect for consideration. This is because any deviations from re-ranking are
stable & setting a baseline from target locations (geographic) should be to gauge efficacy in targeting (the rest can
be established by analytics).

As far as tracking SEO projects are concerned, I would be wary of any single information set & be sure to try & isolate Google
information centers when doing ranking/competitive analysis & use a mean average as your primary indicators. This also
highlights the need to geographically target information centers & ensure strong rankings across your target markets.
While they only looked at a handful of international information, searching the Google.com domain showed no major re-rankings
beyond what they were seeing elsewhere. While slightly more movement was evident among international respondents, not
to skew SEO efforts ultimately.

Personalization re-rankings are minimal – from what they could see (using an informational query) the effects of
personalization were minimal. This may be due to a lack of history around the queries used, but they did use terms loosely
related to topics the respondents would naturally be using. Even factoring in room for error, there is no evidence to show that
personalization is drastically changing the ranking landscape.

The core take-away from this round is; No one SERPs were the same (personalization ON or not)
> Personalization re-rankings are minimal (for informational queries)
> Establish geo-graphic baselines (or segment information even)
> Top 4 positions are primary targets
> Top 10 are secondary targets
> Top 20 may be leveraged through behavioural optimization

Obviously this is for the core/secondary terms.. tracking long tail this way
wouldn’t be cost effective. Generate terms that become the baselines; valuating long tail terms should be done by analytics
information ultimately.

Top 4 positions are primary targets – the information showed that top rankings 1-4, (above the fold) are more stable than the
rankings 5-10 as far as being re-ranked were concerned. This means not only is ranking analysis still a viable SEO program
metric, but in all likelihood these top rankings have more value than ever. They do seem to have stronger resistance to
personalization/ranking anomalies.

Top 20 may be leveraged – while they haven’t conducted research in to the top 20 listings at this time; they can extrapolate
within reason that the stronger 11-20th ranked pages would have an obvious likelihood of migrating in to the top 10 in
personalized search situations. If you can’t break the top 10; be a strong contender to ensure the best chance of capitalizing
on potential opportunities.

Top 10 are secondary targets – as noted there is still value to be had in top 10 rankings as they generally remained within
the top 10; merely re-ranked through the information sets. That being said, when re-ranking outside of the top 10 occurred, it was
more often the positions 5-10 that would be likely candidates for demotion. If you aren’t in the top 4 then ensuring your page
is one of the stronger listings will better ensure potential personalization/re-ranking doesn’t affect your listing.

Your healthy functioning body is the most valuable material asset you possess. It’s the first thing of value given to you when you enter this world and you owe it to yourself to value it and increase its functioning value. Today I will give you 4 keys to progressively creating a healthy body and life for yourself so that you can enjoy life to the fullest. Here are your healthy nutrition tips:

Key #1 – Think Right: “As your mind flows so your life goes.” Meaning – your life is a product of the thoughts you think, which leads to the actions you do, which then creates the results you see. Someone who is 400 pounds overweight cannot loose 100 pounds per year if they continue to think that they must have a pound of ice cream every day to be happy. Clearly the key to changing this ingrained habit pattern is to progressively change that way of thinking to one that will produce right habits/actions and thereby producing the desired results.

Key #2 – Eating & drinking Right: Consuming the right foods is also very important. Many people find this hard to do because they’ve long formed improper eating habits that can be very hard to change without assistance. How would you rate your eating habits? Understand that your body is a living organism that uses the food you consume to recreate itself. Before a cell dies it reproduces another cell from the food you are currently consuming. So consider this: If you had the choice would you create your body from the nutrients in the food you are consuming right now?

Key #3 – Resting Right: Rest = Restoration. Makes sense, doesn’t it? While exercise and movement are essential for stimulating circulation and the elimination of toxins, rest and sleep provide an opportunity for the body to cleanse, repair, and rejuvenate on a deep cellular level. Nourishing your body with plenty of healing sleep and rest is essential for becoming whole.

Key #4 – Being Happy every day: That is the cornerstone of any health and wellness guide. Now, some people would consider the possibility of being happy every day to be impossible but I’m here to tell you that it is possible. YES IT IS! How? Well for starters I recommend that you smile for at least one minute as soon as you get up each morning. It doesn’t matter if your life is totally upside down – smile anyway. There are many benefits to smiling that I won’t go into here but from a body chemical standpoint it does the body well. Secondly, I recommend that you smile and say HI to as many people as you can throughout the day. Just these 2 tips alone are enough to improve your mood and outcome in life significantly. My main tip to being happy everyday will be included in an article on nutrigoddess.com called “How to be Happy Every Single Day!”

Recap: How to improve health and fitness?
1.    Think right
2.    Eating & drinking Right
3.    Resting Right
4.    Being Happy every day

These 4 components are what it takes to achieve excellent health.

What are my goals for the web site?

It’s important to know why you’re building the web site. Is it for sales or marketing? Is it a tool for communication or an online brochure? Do you want to sell products through the web site, or just educate consumers about them? Do you want to increase membership in your organization, or offer Web-based benefits to current members? Do you want visitors to email you? Call you? Subscribe to a newsletter? Knowing your goals will help focus your ideas for the site.

What am I trying to sell or promote?

Even if you don’t like the idea of selling yourself, it’s what we all do, every day, if we want to be successful. Don’t be afraid of sales and marketing. Finding the answer to this question will determine what are the most important themes of the web site, what to name the buttons, and the tone to use when writing the content.

What is our website’s business model and how are we unique?

Even if you have an AWESOME idea – you should develop ideas for an advertising or subscription revenue model or some fundamentals of it.

Who is our target demographic and what will they search for?

To help a web design agency understand your needs, can you describe your target audience in terms of socio-economic profiles;gender;geographical location; Planning for the search in your user’s mind can save you from retrofitting for it later. How would YOU search? How would your mother search? How would your grandmother search?

What will the information architecture be like? What are the important top level keywords?

There needs to be balance between information architecture for usability and keyword information architecture for findability (SEO).

What are the components to getting a website up and running?

Web Design & Development: The architecture of the site needs to be built. An appropriate look and feel must be designed. The copy needs to be written and any additional tools such as online forms, shopping carts and audio clips need to be added.

1. Web Design & Development: The architecture of the site needs to be built. An appropriate look and feel must be designed. The copy needs to be written and any additional tools such as online forms, shopping carts and audio clips need to be added.
2. Hosting: Just as you might rent office space, your web site needs to be hosted somewhere so people can reach it.
3. Upkeep: Once live, a good site continues to post fresh material, giving people a reason to return.

What content do I need to build the site?

First, create an outline around the themes you want to promote. Second, remember that each line of the outline is a page that needs content–text and images that will help educate your visitors. The images may include a logo or photos of people or products. Poor quality photos or bad clip art can make the most attractive site look amateurish; sometimes no photos can be better than poor ones.

One of the most ancient materials for clothes is wool. Soon after our ancestors, the cave men, learned that you can carry half a dead furry animal or tons of fur to keep warm, they discovered spinning wool. And what a congenial material wool is! It has lots of qualities that synthetic fibres do not reach – astonishing.

If you are like me and like wool, you most probably will want to work with it. The first thing you could think about is spinning wool. I found a nice interesting site about that on a german blog: Wolle spinnen

Next thing is of course dyeing wool yourself. This is something many people don’t dare…although it is pretty easy and can be done in any household with plant and a few chemicals. Have a look over here (sorry, the video is only in german):Bücher über stricken, spinnen und mehr

Last but not least you will want to knit with your wool, and let’s be honest, although it can be really fun to do all the things like spinning and dyeing yourself, most of the time you will just buy a good ball of wool in a shop.

Read here about knitting on this german blog: Mützen stricken

The wool shown on that page has proved to go nicely when knitting and is easy to wash. Now get your knitting needles or your spinning wheel and have some fun with wool!
