Page Strength - A New Measure of Relevance

The below is from a newsletter that I subscribe to at Pandia.com.

The SEOmoz Page Strength indicator

This has not stopped SEOmoz.org from trying. They are now presenting a new “Page Strength Indicator” based on the following measures:

• Links pointing to full URL (Yahoo)
• Links pointing to domain (Yahoo)
• Position for first four words of title tag on target URL (Google)
• Age of Domain
• Links from domains with .edu TLDs (Yahoo)
• Links from domains with .gov TLDs (Yahoo)
• Alexa Rank
• Domain name visibility (Google)
• Internal Link Percent
• Number of search results for URL search at del.icio.us
• Listings in DMOZ (ODP)
• Links found in Wikipedia
• Google Pagerank of full URL and Domain

Now, this is an interesting list in its own right, as it gives you an indication of what search engine marketing professionals believe are important factors for good search engine rankings.
