Search Engine Indexing Limits: Where Do the Bots Stop?

The SEO community boasts a multitude of different opinions as to the volume of text indexed by the search engines on a single Web page. The question is, how large should the optimized page be? At what point is the balance between a page so short that SEs disregard it as "non-informative", and one that's so long that it leaves potentially important content beyond the spiders' attention?

As far as I know, no one has yet tried to answer this question through their own experimentation. The participants of SEO forums typically confine themselves to quoti

ng guidelines published by the engines themselves. Today, the belief that the leading search engines limit the volume of indexed text by the notorious "100 KB" limit is still is still widely held within the SEO community, leaving SEOs' customers scratching their heads as they try to figure out what to do with the text that extends beyond this limit.

Running the Experiment

When I decided to set up an experiment to answer this question practically, my goals were:

  • determine the volume of Web page text actually indexed an d cached by t he search engines
  • find out if the volume of text indexed depends on the overall siz e of the HTML page

Here's how this experiment was actually conducted. I took 25 pages of different sizes (from 45 KB to 4151 KB) and inserted unique, non-existent keywords into each page at 10 KB intervals (that is, a unique keyword was included after each 10 KB of text). These keywords were au

to-generated exclusively for this experiment and served as "indexation depth marks". The pages were then published, and I went to make myself some coffee because waiting

for the robots to come promised to be a slow process! Finally I saw the bots of the Big Three (Google, Yahoo!, and MSN) in my server logs. The site access logs provided m

e with the information I needed to proceed with the experiment and finish it

successfully.

It's appropriate to note that I used special, experimental pages for this te

st. These pages reside on a domain that I have reserved for such experiments, and contain only text with keywords that I needed for the experiment. Such pages -- w

ith senseless text stuffed with abracadabra words every now and then -- would certainly cause eyebrows to raise, if a human happened to see them. But human visitors were definitely not the expected audience here.

After I reviewed the log files and made sure the bots had drop

ped in, the only thing left was to check the rankings of each experimental page for each unique keyword I'd used. (I used Web CEO Ranking Checker for this). As y

ou've probably guessed, if the search engines index only a certain part of the page, they will return this page in search results for the search terms that are above the scanning limit, but will fail to return the page in results provided for the keywords that appeared below the limit.

Test Results

This chart shows where the Big Three stopped returning my test pages.





Now that I had the data about the amount of page text downloaded by the SE bots, I could determine the length of page text indexed by the search engines. Believe me, the results are unexpected -- to say the least! But this makes it even more pleasant to share them with everyone interested in the burning questions of search engine optimization.

As you can see from the table below, the bronze medal is awarded to Yahoo!

with the result of 210 KB. Any page content above this limit won't be indexed.

The second place belongs to the Great (by the quality of search) and Dreadful (by its attitude to SEO) Google. Their Googlebot is able to carry away to its innumerable servers mor

e than 600 KB of information. At the same time, Google's SERPs (search engine

result pages) only list pages on which the searched keywords were located not further than 5

20 KB from the start of the page. This is the exact page size that, in Google's opinion, is the most informative and provides maximum useful information to visitors without making them dive into overly lengthy text.

This chart shows how much text has been scraped by Google on the test pages.


MSN showed a remarkable behavior during its first visit to the experimental pages. If a page was smaller than 170KB, it was well-represented in the SERPs. Any pages above this threshold were not presented in the SERPs for my queries, although the robot had downloaded the full 1.1MB of text. It seems that if a page was above 170KB, it barely had a chance to appear in MSN's results. However, over a period of 4-5 weeks, the larger pages I'd created started to appear in MSN's index, revealing the engine's capacity to index large amounts of text over time. This research makes me think that MSN's indexing speed depends on the page size. Hen

ce, if you want part of your site's information to be seen by MSN's audience a.s.a.p., place it on a page that's smaller than 170 KB.

This summary chart shows how much information the search engines download, and how much is then stored in their indexes.



Thus, this experiment established the fact that the leading search engines differ considerably in terms of the the amount of page text they're able to crawl. For Yahoo!, the limit is 210KB; for Google, 520KB; and for MSN, it's 1030KB. Pages smaller than these sizes are indexed fully, while any text that extends beyond those limits will not be indexed.

Exceeding the Limits

Is it bad to have text that exceeds the indexing limit?

Definitely not! Having more text than the search engine is able to index will not harm your rankings. What you should be aware of is that such text doesn't necessarily help your search engine rankings. If the content is needed by your visitors, and provides them with essential information, don't hesitate to leave it on the page. However, there's a widespread opinion that the search engines pay more attention to the words situated at the beginning and end of a Web page. In other words, if you have the phrase "tennis ball" in the first and last paragraphs of your copy, it makes your page rank higher for "tennis ball" than if you typed it twice in the middle of the page text.

If you intend to take advantage of this recommendation, but your page is above the indexation limits, the important point to remember is that the "last paragraph" is not where you stopped typing, but where the SE bot stopped reading.

Search Enginr Opthamization



Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic").

SEO Processes:-

*On-page Optimization:-

Website Analysis:
We will perform a thorough analysis of your website and its infrastructure to ensure that it can be crawled properly by the major search engines’ robots and spiders. We review everything -- your site's links to identify any broken links or images, H1 tags, Title tags, Description tags, Meta tags, and more to improve overall search engine rankings. If we identify any issues with your website’s infrastructure we will provide recommendations to improve its search engine friendliness.

Keyword Research: Identifying and targeting the best keywords are critical factors that will increase your website’s traffic and improve the quality of your traffic. The best keywords are the ones that are most relevant to your industry, most searched for, with the least amount of websites competing for them. We will analyze your industry demographics and identify your ideal target market, and then generate a comprehensive list of highly relevant keywords and phrases which will include supply and demand data (How many other websites are competing for the keyword and how many times each keyword is searched for by potential client’s).

Meta Tags: Meta information is a vital element that search engines analyze to determine your website’s relevancy. We will create Meta information for your targeted keywords to match the search engine’s density, distribution and frequency algorithms.

Content Analysis: Content is one of the most important optimization factors. We analyze your website’s content to make sure your targeted keywords are repeated the right number of times at the right places on your WebPages. We will also analyze the use of your keywords within your website’s anchor text/hyperlinks and H1 tags. If we identify any content issues we will provide recommendations to improve your keyword relevancy.

Search Engine & Directory Submission: Our step-by-step submission process ensures that your website will be indexed by the major search engines. Manually submitting your website to the search engines and directories in the right order is critical. Search engines and directories perform a crosscheck to find the websites that are most relevant and have met indexing standards. Once the search engines have seen your website listed in other search engines and directories they grant you points because they know that your website has already been reviewed and approved.


*Off-page Optimization:-

Anti-Spam Compliance: Many companies will submit your website using software. We submit your website manually, based on the strict anti-spam guidelines established by each of the major search engines and directories.
Link Building: This is extremely important for two reasons. The main reason is that search engines analyze the quantity and quality of websites that link to you. They interpret this as a third party casting a vote for your website. They also analyze a few factors to determine the quality of these links. Some of the factors include site relevancy meaning if your website sells shoes and another website relevant to shoes links to your website that will be considered much more relevant than a link from a website specializing in flowers. The other main factor is the popularity of the website that links to you. Websites that generate millions of visitors each month will also be considered more relevant than websites that only have a few hundred visitors per month.
The other reason link building is important is that by establishing quality links on other relevant websites you also increase your overall online visibility and its basically free advertising. That’s why we will spend several hours each month to contact other prominent and relevant websites asking them to link back to your website.
In Off-Page Optimization, apart from Link Building we even work on several methods like E-mail Marketing, Social Book marking, Press Releases, Article Submission and Blog Commenting to promote your web site in Search Engines.

Monthly Search Engine Placement Report: Each month, we will provide a comprehensive ranking report that will allow you to monitor the progress of our optimization efforts. This report will show you exactly where your keywords rank among the major search engines.

Search Engine Optimisation Factors:

Through implementing search engine optimisation over the past few years I've gained a good understanding of what factors affect your ranking, but knowing what the most important factors are is another question. I've compiled a list of factors (in no particular order) which I feel have the biggest contribution to the affect of your ranking within the search engine result pages and would like to start a discussion about what people think the most important factors are.


1. Number of incoming links

2. Optimisation keywords used within H1 Headings

3. Correct keyword density of optimisation keywords within webpage

4. Correct keyword prominence of optimisation keywords within webpage

5. Each webpage containing at least 100 words

6. Optimisation keywords used within Img ALT tags

7. Optimisation keywords used within Meta tags (description and keywords)

8. Internal link structure of website

9. Regular update of website content - whether this would be updating existing webpages or adding new ones

10. Optimisation keywords used within Title tag

11. Google PageRank of incoming links

12. Link text used within incoming links

13. Optimisation keywords in bold text

14. Optimisation keywords in underline text

15. Optimisation keywords in italic text

If you feel you can contribute towards this list please join this discussion and it would also be good if you could copy the list above and put them into the order you feel are the most important. I wanted to gain a better insight into other people's views on this matter.
