Velnetweb Web Hosting
On a recent trip to SEOLondon i found myself seated next to Velnetweb a hosting company from London. They updated me with some very interesting news regarding Googles page rank algorithm, according to Temi at SEO Blog, page rank has been updated to included speed as a ranking factor.
This is great news for all hosting companys like Velnetweb who are offering custom cPanel web hosting packages for Shopping cart websites but for run of the mile bloggers on shared hosting packages this may not be great news.
You may not know but of late Google has been obsessed with speed, regarding websites. It seems Google has updated there ranking algorithms to now included factor for all web masters to consider : site speed. Site speed reflects how quickly a website responds to web requests from a user or browser.
Having a fast websites is important for customers/user experience and since Google is all about the customer experience this will be no surprise to many. Having a Faster sites create happy users, whilst slow sites turn people away. Users place a lot of value in speed — that’s why Google have decided to take site speed into account in our search rankings. Google say they will use a variety of sources to determine the speed of a site relative to other sites.
