Report: 14,000+ Google Search Ranking Features Leaked
May 28, 2024
Rand Fishkin along with Mike King may have published one of the biggest data leaks outside of the
Department of Justice reveal around Google Search and its internal ranking features and signals. The document was from an anonymous source (no longer anonymous, see below) but verified by Rand Fishkin and contains a ton of details on how Google Search reportedly works.
More importantly, it seems to contradict a number of the Google statements made over the past two decades from numerous Google Search employees, as I covered here over the past.
I have not gone through it all yet but I felt it was important for you all to read this yourself, you can see the details at these headlines:
Rand wrote, "Many of their claims directly contradict public statements made by Googlers over the years, in particular the company’s repeated denial that click-centric user signals are employed, denial that subdomains are considered separately in rankings, denials of a sandbox for newer websites, denials that a domain’s age is collected or considered, and more."
