While doing research on SEO and the influence of SEO, I came across some fun facts about SEO that I had not heard of before. The world of SEO is continuously evolving, and there will always be new information to learn. The fun and interesting facts will never come to an end, but we can definitely do our best to keep up with them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Facts!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fun facts were collected by Cognitive SEO and are listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Duplicate Content Won’t Get You Penalized<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Not All Search Engines Use Links as a Ranking Factor<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Top Ranking Positions Have Significantly More Facebook Activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Rich Snippets Have NO Direct Impact on Your Rankings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Only 2 of the Top 10 Most Popular Sites Are Content Sites<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Object Detection in Images is a Strong Ranking Signal<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Google Has Search Evaluators to Determine the Quality of Results<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. A Video on Your Homepage Will Double the Chances to Show up on Page 1 of Google<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Travel Time Is a Metric for Google’s Ranking<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Google Ranks Events Based upon Popularity<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    While reading the fun facts I found fun fact number eight to be a very interesting idea. I had not known that having a video on your home page would influence what page you would land on. Videos can be helpful to hold your customers or viewers’ attention and give a visual while explaining your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For fun fact number five, the top sites include Google, Facebook, YouTube, Yahoo!, Amazon, Wikipedia, Twitter, Bing, eBay, and MSN. Wikipedia and YouTube are both content-oriented websites, while the others are identified as “content gates.” This was an interesting perspective on where the different sights compare to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
