I guess i have a lot to do. I will follow it up with the ten years registration of my domain name and see what happens. Then i can proceed to get a dedicated ip before i start considering rule 4.

These few steps like SSL cert and IP, etc will be measured among the things of authenticity. It can avoid some sort of spam activities. The data provided in privacy policy and whois data can reduce confusions about the real owner. So definitely these steps can increase the points in the search engine ranking Actually transparency is very important.

Regarding the SSL, yes, they do. I believe this is only relatively recent though. I'd show you an example from this site but we excluded the quote and contact pages using robots.txt and used Webmaster Central to remove them from the index. The second result for the search "paypal" should show what I mean. Regarding the domains, ICANN just raised the prices of domain registration so if anything I can only assume they will go up further. Now, "Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but can’t Google recognize a physical address? I believe it can, or at least it can in the US. Have a read of this: http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/archive/index.php/t-7285.html Notice the "Ways to get into the local search engines. if you add a footer with the complete physical address of your company, helps you get into Local Search engines." The post was not "The 5 Easiest ways to get GOOGLE to trust you". I would love some more information on how Google deals with physical addresses though. Hi Dave, thanks for stopping by.

Do search engines detect ssl through the URL? Sometimes when I'm visiting pages with SSL I get a popup security alert which to be honest annoys the hell out of me. Personally I would stick to SSL for data that needs to be very secure as opposed to simple forms, put the user and not SEs first. My domain is set to expire in 2017, similiar to the graphic above. No two bit spammer would ever register a domain for this long, so I strongly agree with the 2nd point. In the future though when domains go down in price the value of long registrations will come down too. By the way Michele, do I have a dedicated on blacknight. Finally got migration sorted... right pain! Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but can't Google recognise a physical address? I imagine this adds to your trust 'count' too. Hi Dave, nice post.

Akismet flagged you as spam so sorry it took so long to fish you out. You are right and there is no concrete evidence that the above work but noticing a strong increase in organic rankings and quality score after implementing each has to stand for something. Also, Google specifically says "build your site for people, not for search engines". The above points that I mentioned are indeed factors that not only improve the experience for the user, but also help the user and keep them secure. I am certain that credibility indicators to humans are similar to those used by search engines. Ultimately though, as stated, there is nothing concrete and I doubt there could be a test to verify it considering search engines take into consideration many things at once. Regarding your 302 redirect example, you never mentioned for which site or keywords. Would things change if there was some fierce competition in your niche? If a competitor overtook you would you consider moving to a 301? Hi Boris, thanks for the comment. Akismet flagged you as spam so sorry it took so long to fish you out.

Ultimately though, as stated, there is nothing concrete and I doubt there could be a test to verify it considering search engines take into consideration many things at once.

Regarding your 302 redirect example, you never mentioned for which site or keywords. Would things change if there was some fierce competition in your niche? If a competitor overtook you would you consider moving to a 301?

I don't know about that. These are easy if you have the money to pay someone to set it up, or to follow those rules. Easy? I don’t know about that.

These all may be true, however, I have never seen any proof that these work. It seems like well meaning guessing to me! Just because something make sense doesn't mean that it actually works. When you can provide verifiable evidence then I will change my mind. One of my websites has had a 302 redirect used since day one... Yet, it is #1 ranked and has been for 9 months. Is a 301 a better idea... Yes, it is... But the 302 has never hurt me... So why should I give much thought to all this other stuff? I disagree on all points.
