Hi Matt, could you please explain how Google's ranking and website evaluation process works starting with the crawling and analysis of a site, crawling timelines, frequencies, priorities, indexing and filtering processes within the databases etc. RobertvH, Munich

This is a very useful, If you are a developer, also If you are a person who didn't know how does google crawlin works, why people say things like "oh this video is old" or "I was expecting a interactive board" please be grateful with the person who give us part of his knowledge.

Phantastic Matt, I'm very glad you answered my question in this length and it really helps me to understand the indexing process better!

I think that you somehow managed to simplify the crawling process of Google's search index. I had no idea it had come so far since the last time I sat in one of these lectures several years ago.

Notes:

1. Crawling - crawl the web comprehensively and deeply.
2. Indexing - index those pages.
3. Ranking - rank or serve those pages and return
the most relevant ones first

Still Google is showing some irrevelant results regarding language results. When we search for a particular search results in particular language, Google is showing mainly English articles.
Example: crush meaning in Tamil
Here Google is showing English content, but the user intent(100%) is to get (result of) meaning of English word crush in Tamil language.

The video might be old but relevant still and I think the fundamentals would remain relevant for the days to come.

Great video - I'm going to try and embed this in my company's intranet, should free up a couple of hours of my time each month. Thanks!

This is the best explanation for this topic that I've watched so far. Thanks for this!

[AndyKeel]

That was really good. It was important for me to watch the board to comprehend (had to really watch) but you gave a really understandable breakdown for this question, Thank You.

[BRBallin]

The real question is how does it do all this so quickly and in under a second?

[EE-huzx]

Hey, nicely done. No trouble holding my attention, informative, interesting, motivating. Answers big questions about the new way we live and learn. Maybe future shock won't be so bad.
