Dot Tel's Weight On Mobile Search Algorithms Here is an interesting article pointing out the new keyword search tool that Google is creating. http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/020866.html Mobile searches, with search engines, have used a different algorithm that regular computer searches. My observation has showed that there are two search engines in the UK that give weight to .mobi mobile searches. Whether this continues with the lack of content on .mobi is a question. However I am very interested to see how the search engines react as more dot tel domains get developed over time. Will they give more weight to dot tel domain names? With a good base of developed dot tel domain names, why wouldn't they? We have talked about the speed and cost benefit. Couldn't dot tel meet both of these needs which would encourage cell phone users to do more mobile searching? If I was running a search engine and if there were a substantial amount of quality dot tel results, I would definitley give this domain more weight. As the search engines give dot tel more weight there will be a snowball affect of other companies making sure they take advantage of the dot tel technology. |
By the way the two search engines where Yahoo International and some other search tool that had Orange in the URL. Maybe someone can fill in the full name as it slipped my mind. |
