Those who command the most attention also get great rankings, no matter how sloppy their code, and they don't need to beg for links. Google's Eric Schmidt recently indicated that Google may be looking to brand metrics as a means of determining search quality. That's not to say merely having any old brand will mean you rank highly, but the brand building process has synergies with the metrics Google uses to rank sites.

Originally when we published this we were going to make it subscriber only content, but the change is so important that I thought we should share some of it with the entire SEO industry. This post starts off with a brief history of recent algorithm updates, and shows the enormous weight Google is placing on branded search results. The Google Florida Update I got started in the search field in 2003, and one of the things that helped get my name on the map was when I wrote about the November 14th Google Florida update in a cheeky article titled Google Sells Christmas [1].

BIG BRANDS? GOOGLE BRAND PROMOTION
The long tail of search demand has been around since the dawn of web search and, since that time, search marketers have been attempting to tap into the powerful stream that high quantities of unique content can provide. I recently came across some great data from Hitwise (about 1 year old, but still highly relevant) showing off just how substantive the long tail can be. Bill Tancer’s post – Sizing Up the Long Tail – gives some stats: …the head and body together only account for 3.25% of all search traffic! In fact, the top terms don’t account for much traffic: • Top 100 terms: 5.7% of the all search traffic

Well, arguably shoes.com IS now a branded result, just as zappos.com or dsw is. One way Google could be discerning the quality of being a brand might be through ...
Recently Nestle and L?Oreal launched a new brand alliances aiming to
produce food healthy for your skin. A very neat and clever alliance.
My question is - can you think of other "clever" brand alliances
between two brands in contrast with each other. I'm not looking for
the traditional brand alliances combining e.g. "a snacks brand with a
