Can you believe it? SEO can do magic

Mike Anthony · 01-07-2012, 04:53 PM

Sheesh guys whats the big deal here? Yes its ranked number one for India. He's neither lying or using personalized search - ALL regional Google indexes favor regional localized results. No mystery and no Magic. Plus I will bet it has more links from within india for that keyword which is a MAJOR ranking factor for regional searches. If you have ever had SEO customers outside of the US it can be pretty easy to rank.

again. No mystery and no magic

This is Facebook Mike... Facebook... this is not your ordinary keyword you would try to rank for. Having more "regional links" has nothing to do with this particular and indeed interesting case. You can have all the regional links you want, you will not outrank Facebook for the term Facebook let's say here in Canada.

When someone types in "Facebook"... in Google regardless of location, they expect Google to return Facebook.com as number 1 undisputed. This is Google's mission, returning EXACTLY what the user wants and if it means cleaning house to make sure their results look all nice and pretty it's what they will and definitely do and have done as I am sure you know.

This is result personliser by google. it is not magic , it is what you looked for

This is extremely competitive keyword in my view. traffic travis, market samuria also show the same. But this gave us motivation that certainly we can outrank main sites.

FB the algo is not name or domain specific. Read what I wrote. I said nothing about it all being regional links. I mentioned regional factors of which links are only a part. There is absolutely no question that regional algo factors play a part in that ranking as it does in any regional result. Google has confirmed that region IS a key factor in relevancy

People can ooh and aah all they want like the algo is not all mathematical and scientific. There is no Magic. There is no big mystery hidden in that one result. You will learn absolutely nothing in that result if you think it has nothing to do with regional relevancy in the algo.

It's one of many Google's flaws. When people search for "Facebook", they have no intention of making or ordering an application (what facebook-india.com is offering). Google (its scripts) probably "thinks" that it's the localized version of Facebook itself. The assumption may come from the fact that highly valued trademarked domain name usually ends up in the hands of the proprietor of the trademark--so, Google expects there to be a connection. The owners of facebook-india.com are probably lucky to have the local law on their side.

bobcarlsjr · 01-08-2012, 11:03 AM

yup.. facebook-india comes up #1for me.. facebook.com is #2..

searched from google.co.in

fantastic.. and now to find out how they did it...

Will P · 01-08-2012, 02:42 PM

Checked and see what you're saying but in my opinion the only reason it comes up first in the India data centers is do to the EMD, facebook being the search term and India being the GEO/Local targeted results. As per the owner of the site I wouldn't to excited as it is a infringement on the trademarked name Facebook & if i'm not mistaken I believe that trademark infringements also apply globally.

Let's assume this line of reasoning is correct. So, if someone has a lot of links to Google-india.com then would Google put Google-india.com at number one if someone searches for Google in Google.com?

Replace Google with Wikipedia, Microsoft, and will it be the same? Are Google Alog programmer so stupid to understand things which is so obvious to common people?

It may be a case of trademark infringement, but I don't think FB will care for that little website...

you mean to say if someone searches for Wikipedia from India, google should go ahead and look for a website which has "Wikipedia" and "india" in the URL and would then rank.

if I were alog programmer I wouldn't be that stupid. I would have applied common sense that people mean Facebook.com when they search for Facebook in Google.

A very interesting subject for me. Not really a great event as credible, how many hits your site is receiving. Thank you for this information.

Amsterdam81 · 04-22-2012, 10:52 AM

I have been reading this thread...you see, either way if its correct or not, as above comments, how many hits does ur site receive? and "the question here: how is it possible? who does the SEO?"

guillermophilips12 · 04-22-2012, 12:51 PM

One thing i would like to ask from you guys that is this possible that the same site with some keyword is showing on top 3 rank on one PC and from other location PC it is still not showing on page 1st.
How is this possible.

Rafay Zafar · 04-22-2012, 01:41 PM

region doesnt matter folks - the OP's point stands.
We are talking about brand name searches (the easiest to rank) here and not generic queries like 'best social network site' or 'find college mates'

'facebook' is clearly a navigational query for one of the most visited site on the web! when i type facebook into google, i expect to see facebook.com as the top result no matter where im located. When somebody types in toyota, microsoft, ebay, amazon, etc into google they are really searching for the brand website and not some spammy looking domain. I would hate to see toyota-countryname.com ranking #1 for the search toyota unless the former was also a toyota property.

Anyway this could be due to an alogothim roll-out. Remember Seer Interactive lost ranking for their brand name for a few hours but got it back on the same day. might be worth keeping an eye on that serp
