41Why a page result search query may be similar but not exactly returned

 


What is a hidden query term? 

Often, query words do not show up in some results or in the cache. This may be the result of the query word matching a link on another page that points to the URL that is listed on the search results page.

To help you understand how a search query works, in general, popular and well written, informative and frequently visited pages obtain a higher rank compared to other pages inside your site.
So, when live on the web, a person may type in a search string seeking lots of page results. To find your site amongst millions, the SE's match search queries with listed pages inside their indexes. If your page is not listed, not popular, does not have a history or has ever been listed in the SE cache systems and doc servers, it is very hard to be found.


Cross hypertext links and phrases across pages

One method to help page matching and initial page rank is to ensure that your hyperlinks are written with phrases and sentences more than 2 words long. If you can write the hyperlinks across your entire domain that lead to other pages, the matching a link or another page storage and cross relationship will be stored and search resulted with the SE's.
 

The SE Cache

1. Try this simple exercise on your favorite SE. Search for WEB PAGE DESIGN

The results page will show lots of over 5 million pages.

2. At the lower section of each result next to the shown page URL will also show Cached - Similar Pages

3. Click on the Cached link. The result pages will show more information about the site/page results. The top of which may be in a frame.
Look at some of the results like this:

a) These search terms have been highlighted: web page design

b) These search terms have been highlighted: web page design
    These terms only appear in links pointing to this page: web design

In Particular, look at the b) These terms only appear in links pointing to this page:

How to use this

Use hypertext links with specific search phrases and two to three keyword matches to hyperlink across the entire domain.

The more cross domain, inbound hyperlinks, outbound hyperlinks, phrases and sentences, references and general 'text based' links that point to a main subject of that link the better for achieving a top ten website.

Phrase searches do not always appear on the SE's because of other reasons, their make up and algorithms, datacenter switching and so on, however, this principle of page matching and link matching is key to SEO. Occasionally, different results returned are the popularity of finding the words within the phrase query in anchor text on pages that link from that anchor text to the page shown as a result. But the words do not necessarily appear in exactly the correct order within the anchor text

Tips:

Ensure you site and pages are cache friendly. To do this, if you use inserts, web structures that require server side includes etc, ensure you also have secondary pages that are static so that your web site design is indexed, stored and completely retrievable from the SE's caches.

Tips:

Find your pages on the search engines click on the Cached link. Look at the date at which the page was spidered. Use that information to help you update your site and pages.
