How Google Rank Your Blog.

This is a good post that I've read from Sabahan.com (thanks!). Eventhough the article was quiet simple, but it has a lot of info that we should know.

Now here is the good points:

Google considers the following as the positive factors for blogs.

* The popularity of the blog
* The existence of the blog document in blogrolls
* A high number of unique subscriptions
* Use of tags
* Emails or chat transcripts containing the blog URL
* The blog or blog post’s PageRank (Google adds “a blog document (e.g., a post) may not be associated with a pagerank (e.g., when the post is new). In those situations, the new post may inherit the pagerank of the blog with which it is associated until such time that an independent pagerank is determined for the new post.”)

While these are considered as negative factors

* New posts being published in short succession, which hints at automation
* Duplicate posts in a blog
* The use words or phrases that often appear in spam
* Very similar length across different posts of the blog
* Lots of links from this blog pointing back to a single website
* Lots of ads

Now, which one of your blog is in the "negative factors" zone?
I think I've got one...!!!
