So I am back an am a new daddy but I will get to that in my next post tomorrow. While I was gone I was reading up on my favorite blogs and came across a great article by Bill Slawski of SEObytheSea.com. Bill always has very intense and intellectual SEO Articles and his How Search Engines Can Learn From Looking at Sequences of Search Queries article was no exception.

Bill writes,

“Whenever someone searches at a search engine, they not only get information in response to their search, but they also provide information to the search engine about the things they are searching for - information which the search engine might find useful in helping other searchers.

If that searcher performs another search related to their first search, then the search engine might create an association between the two search phrases that the searcher used, if the two phrases appear to be related. If they perform a series, or sequence, of searches on a concept, then the search engine might take advantage of that information.”

If you are not following Bill at SEObytheSea.com then you are crazy! So I am going to make it easy for you, go to http://www.seobythesea.com/?feed=rss2 now and subscribe to his RSS Feed.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to your post tomorrow for more details. :)

Thanks for the mention of my post. As site owners, we look at our own statistics and log files, and try to figure out how to make improvements to our sites.

The amount of information that search engines receive about their visitors could be overwhelming - it’s interesting to read about some of the ways that they use that information.

Good props! SEO by the Sea are worth looking at. They’re one of the few blogs that actually rely on concrete evidence instead of just hearsay. Martinez’s SEO Theory is decent, too.
