Google search is the most powerful search engine on the web today. The reason for this is the development work that goes day in and day out to enhance, tweak, and supercharge the engine. One such powerful feature is Google Suggest. This initially started off as a Google Labs project (as do most other features) and quickly hit the main search engine. Tool has become powerful addition and is now taken for granted by anyone who uses Google Search.
However if you are webmaster getting your website into Suggest needs some work. To give some measure of how things stand, Twitter was non-existent on Suggest in its early days. It was not until Twitter gained mainstream popularity that it started appearing on Google Suggest. So the basic premise is, the more popular your website the more it will appear in varying combinations in Suggest. This is where reputation management comes in.
To understand Google Suggest you must know the rules it uses when displaying results.
