The intelligent Life on Internet Buzzle.com have posted a nice article about the secrets revealed after that Google filed out a US Patent, “Some of it you could never have guessed at…” Darren said !

From the things that I didnt know :

  • How many years did you register your domain name for? Because the majority of Spam websites only register a domain name for one year. A domain name registered for a longer period implies that the owner is more likely to be legitimate and serious about their web site.
  • Bookmarks and favorites could be monitored for changes, deletions or additions.
  • User behavior in general could be monitored. (Its the Google Cookie I guess)
  • Site click through rates (CTR)
  • Your hosts IP address. If you are on a shared server it’s possible somebody else on that server is using dirty tactics or Spamming. If so, your site will suffer since you share the same IP.
