Google's Search Engine Algorithm Mystery and Leaked Documents
According to TapTechNews on May 29, Google's search engine algorithm is perhaps the most influential system on the Internet, determining the life and death of websites and the appearance of online content. However, Google has never publicly disclosed its algorithm for a long time, and journalists, researchers, and search engine optimization professionals have all been piecing together this mystery.
Rand Fishkin, who has been working in search engine optimization (SEO) for more than ten years, revealed that an informed source shared with him a 2500-page document, believing that the working principle of the search algorithm officially shared by Google is a 'lie'.
The 2500-page document is all technical descriptions. After review by Fishkin and Mike King, the founder of iPullRank, it is considered that the document is legitimate and has disclosed a lot of previously unknown information.
And importantly, the content mentioned in the document is directly contrary to what the Google spokesperson has said over the years, including denying that subdomains are considered separately in website rankings, etc.
The leaked file involves topics such as what kind of data Google collects and uses, which websites Google elevates to the height of sensitive topics such as elections, and how Google handles small websites. Fishkin and King said that some information in the file seems to conflict with the public statements of Google representatives.
In the API documentation, it also contains 2596 modules and 14014 attributes. However, the document does not explain how these ranking functions are weighted. It also includes the possible demotion of websites, including links that do not match the target website, SERP signals indicating user dissatisfaction, product reviews, location, exact match domains, etc.
King said, 'The word lying is very harsh, but it very accurately describes the content of the search algorithm claimed by Google.'
