Google's alg.

[dcole07]

I was once reading that google had 600+ factors in ranking a webpage, does anyone have any info on this? I'm just wondering... no SEO or anything.

600+ factor ???????

I would say, just forget about 599 factors and stick to links only.

Isn't a websites content a major factor to ?

I said I wasn't doing SEO, I was just wondering...

Good Conent is a must. I only link to sites that have good content.

btw, just to let the cat out of the bag... I'm making a small PHP search engine. For small or medium sites... anyway I'm debugging the ranking script right now (it's 10 pages long..........)

not at all

If that would be then why Bush's biography page at whitehouse.gov would rank for "failure" ?

Content does have weight but for low competition keywords, Some inbound links can get a site ranked. I don't think "failure" or "miserable failure" is high competition.

Jeez, the number of factors in the Google algo is going up faster than my BackLinks!

Isn't this the latest algo?
