During an online chat with Webmasters in October, Google have answered many questions about ranking in the search engine and what factors effect search engine optimisation. Hopefully, this will put some myths to bed once and for all.

The full transcript has now been published on Google Groups - Questions and Answers from Online Webmaster Chat - or, if you prefer, WebProNews published a summary - Google Answers Some Tricky Questions - with their own translation on some of the answers that the Google panel gave.

There’s no great surprises in any of this but, if you run your own website or are responsible for the online marketing of one, it’ll certainly be worth spending a few minutes having a read through.

Those kind people at Wordtracker have just released a free service “Keyword Questions“.

We’ve used a combination of our keyword research and various software applications in the past to uncover the questions that searchers ask online. Why? Answering questions in the form of an article or blog post is a great way to give your site a boost in terms of increased visitor numbers. The search engines love to see fresh content that helps searchers to find the information they went online to research.

Wordtracker have done us all a favour by making this research available to all. Below is a screenshot from a question I asked about questions!

Wordtracker Keyword Questions

The data is from the US database so not perfect for UK online marketers but should still be a useful resource.

Thank you Wordtracker!
