Google is the UK's most important search engine, generating an approximate 75% market share of all search engine traffic. Google search engine optimisation (Google SEO) is focused on improving your website's "organic" ranking for key search terms on Google.
Google.co.uk, is Google's local engine for the UK. It is highly sensitive to filtering out what it considers to be non-UK based websites.
Google's Optimisation Factors
Although following similar principles, the Google search engine algorithm - Googlebot - functions in a different way from the other major search engines. This is mainly because it is more "off page" biased than either MSN or Yahoo, the two other major search engines. By "off page", we mean that when Google produces its results, it relies more heavily on information it collects from sources other than the target website. This information is largely collected by analysing the links that point at a website.
1. Inbound Links - IBLsGoogle, like all other search engines measure the number and nature of inbound links (or IBLs) into a site from other websites. Google places a greater emphasis on these links than the other engines. More than any other factor, the number, quality and origination of these links is what determines the ranking of your site in the search engine results pages (SERPs). 2. Google PageRank™Google operates a patented page ranking system called Google PageRank™. This measures the status of a page in terms of the value or PR of its inbound links. Values are calculated out of 10. A new page with no inbound links will be ranked at 0/10. An established, highly authoritative page will be ranked 10/10. Most established commercial website pages feature in a range from 3/10 to 5/10. For more detailed information and links on PageRank go to Wikipedia, the web's public encyclopedia.
3. Anchor TextAnchor text refers to the highlighted text contained within a hyperlink. Associated with the anchor text is the descriptive text which surrounds the link. Inbound links to your website contain information that Google uses to determine whether your website matches a specific search.
4. Page or Site ContentThis is the content or subject of your page or site. Google determines the content of your website by looking at three principal sources. The title and other meta tags of your website. The page, paragraph and body text shown on a page. The nature of the inbound links to a page.
5. Google UpdatesGoogle periodically goes through updates. These may be minor updates such as a recalibration of PageRank scores, or they can be quite major such as the Florida, Jagger and Big Daddy updates. Updates lead to flurry of activity from the SEO community. But from experience I'd suggest that a more circumspect approach should be taken. Updates only seem to have major and permanent impact on the websites that attempt to spoof the rankings. Solid, and ethical, SEO has little to fear.

Examples include Link: to generate information about a website's back links, Site: to see how many pages of a website have been indexed by Google and Allinanchor: to restrict a search to sites with the designated anchor text.
