Webpage Ranking Analysis of Various Search Engines with Special Focus on Country-Specific Search

Sinan Babayigit, Sven Groppe

Abstract

In order to attract many visitors to their own website, it is extremely important for website developers that their webpage is one of the best ranked webpages of search engines. As a rule, search engine operators do not disclose their exact ranking algorithm, so that website developers usually have only vague ideas about which measures have particularly positive influences on the webpage ranking. Conversely, we ask the question: "What are the properties of the best ranked webpages?" For this purpose, we perform a detailed analysis, in which we compare the properties of the best ranked webpages with the worse ranked webpages. Furthermore, we compare countryspecific differences.
