How does Google look at a URL??

[JasMate]

I am a little confused. How does google know that "petcatfood.com" is actually "Pet Cat Food" and not just "petcatfood" ?? I know that google sees hyphens as spaces so "pet-cat-food.com" is seen as "Pet Cat Food".

Does anyone know even if google and other search engines can take keywords from right next to other words and know what they mean. If they can't wouldn't it defeat the purpose of getting high paying keyword urls for the purpose of seo unless they had hyphens seperating them?

Your thoughts??

They most likely have a system that decides words from either a well known database which is constantly updated, or more likely they look at so many pages that the system itself now creates new words. For example let’s start with a pre-programmed set:

Dog Cat Food Box

And it finds a URL that is catfood.com, Google will notice both cat and food, and thus it comes up with those 2 words. Now Google gets more advanced, let’s say it finds the url of newcatfood.com, because it knows both cat and food then "new" must be a word it has never learned, so it adds new to the list of words, which is now:

Dog Cat Food Box New

And thus it goes on and on, and thus you can also make fake words into new words. (This is way simple, but that how I handled words in a program I wrote and it works well if you can feed it little by little for a while).

I've always kinda wondered the same thing

like what do sites such as http://zcpro.net/submit do for your search engine status?
