Does Website Speed Affect Your Ranking? (infographic)

Does Website Speed Affect Your Ranking? (infographic) | Readin', 'Ritin', and (Publishing) 'Rithmetic | Scoop.it
Have you ever been to a slow site and it felt like it took hours to load? You look down at your computer clock and really only 30 seconds have gone by. That's just the user experience on a slow site- the real question is “Does your website speed effect your ranking?”
Will your slightly slower site be penalized by Google and other search engines when you clients are even looking for you?
In this easy to understand graphic, we see that 1 second makes all the difference in the world. And after just 6 short weeks of poor load times, your site can lose 75% of it’s traffic to that page.
If you have a low ranking you might want to follow some of the Google Guidelines to pre-load your most popular pages to increase your site’s overall performance.

SEO SEO, al final todo es KPI's y posicionamiento.

Website speed affects ranking and conversions. Pages load time is an important issue to be fixed if load time is over 3 sec.

Google's Matt Cutts on Content Curation and SEO

Is it useful to have a section of my site that re-posts from other sites?

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

If you worry that content curation = duplicate content...

Thorsten Strauss's curator insight, September 3, 2013 4:37 AM

Big question and straight answer : How is content curation affected by Google's Panda and Penguin updates. 

Jeff Domansky's curator insight, October 3, 2013 4:35 PM

Guillaume Decugis offers a valuable perspective on curation, the impact of Google algorithm changes on SEO and side references of course to Matt Cutts. In a phrase:  "Add value!"

Steve Hartkopf's curator insight, October 7, 2013 3:18 PM

Anytime Matt speaks about SEO we should listen. In this video he specifically discusses SEO and content creation. He recommends a separate website page for old blog posts. I assume Google can identify the old content as separate and, therefore, acceptable rather than someone trying to game the system by throwing up a bunch of old or curated content in hopes of improve search engine results on the back of other people's content.

Fact is that Google has so far escaped antitrust laws (in particular laws around anti-competitive bundling) by arguing that the service is free and used on a voluntary basis. But in Europe for example where Google has a 90%+ market share not content publisher can afford not to write "for" Google, it's as simple as that. Regarding searches in quote marks, they don't deliver the Long Tail (i.e. the searches most relevant to the keywords as concepts) but only content that contains the quoted phrase. That is very different.

Therese, if you think beyond Google - how do you find content online? I don't do a Google search for most of the content which I add to Scoop.it. I find it through channels I already have set up, like feeds from the sites I like, the sites I usually find good things through like Flickr, which is itself a network of content for me to search or randomly look through. I don't care about writing for Google because I don't rely on Google to find the content I read. Google is a bot - when I do use Google it is just a place to start. I branch out and find much more interesting and relevant content by going from one site to the next. I find better results in the sidebar of a blog than I do from Google. Whatever "market share" you pin on Google - that is exactly what it is a 'market'. A market is mostly a bunch of marketers selling their wares/ services. If you have something to sell open a shop on Etsy (for example) and post a few things along with a link to your site where you sell more. When I actually want to buy something I look at online shops, I don't search Google unless I know the name of the site but don't want to bother typing in the link.
