Key issues from the article:



Items that will improve search rankings in the new formula include:

Number of semi-colons on the page.
Use of the term 'fluffy' in the domain.
Heavier weighting for the .name top-level domain.
Using seventeen empty font tags before the first hyperlink.

Li also mentioned some of the criteria that could get a site banned from Google's search results. Some of these items include:

Claiming to have nude pictures of Britney Spears just to get page views.
Having the sequence of letters "rtg" alone or within a word more than once on a page.
Directly linking to Google search results without prior written consent from Google.
Using the term 'blog' as a verb on any page within a site.
