What I would like to know, is what you all think determines trust / authority. I know what I think Google is looking for. However what do you guys, less close to the flame I fly around think?

@dave – Thanks for reading and your question!

I would say to build “trust factor” this would be to build your business, website and brand online over time through the following ways: online pr, article marketing, blogging, social networking, video marketing, industry association participation, etc. All of these things will help build your company and will help position your business as a leader in your industry. I hope this helps!

Qt from an SEO num-skull!!! What is the ” trust/authority of the host domain” and what makes for higher ranking for this category? I understand the rest of the factors mentioned. I understand Google gives higher quality ratings to older sites over new ones. I was told they like sites that have URL’s reserved for two or more years because spammers typically only purchase a domain name for one year.

So what else do you do to become more “trustworthy?”

@Si Sloman – Thanks for reading…I tend to look at the competition but not let it really control every aspect of the SEO/SEM campaign. The true measurement is how many visitors, business/sales you are getting of our each medium.
