More Google Floating Four Theories

Remember the floating four story I wrote a week or so ago? Basically how a search result would be in the fourth position and then go so a lower position, then come back to four and then go back again to a lower position?

Well, the forum discussion has continued at WebmasterWorld and Tedster, WebmasterWorld’s administrator, has posted a theory. I am a big fan of Tedster, so I wanted to share his thoughts with you guys.

Tedster asks, “is size of site a potentially big ranking factor?” “Then other factors would help Google decide which of the smaller sites deserve a shot at position #4 (or wherever they are currently testing.),” he adds.

He shared some of the data he used to suggest this theory:

URLS INDEXED

Position 01 — 1,570 Position 02 — 12,100 Position 03 — 99,800 Position 04 — 87,000 Position 05 — 27,700 Position 06 — 22,100 Position 07 — 242,000 Position 08 — 1,630 Position 09 — 124 Position 10 — 689 Position 11 — 125 Position 12 — 1,040 Position 13 — 976 Position 14 — 13,600 Position 15 — 401 Position 16 — 1,660 Position 17 — 10,400 Position 18 — 1,490 Position 19 — 3,750 Position 20 — 686

AVERAGE URLS INDEXED

Average (#01-05) — 45,634 Average (#05-10) — 53,309 Average (#11-15) — 3,228 Average (#16-20) — 3,597

Many members are supporting his theory, but again, this discussion is what makes SEO a wonderful place.
