So if you’ve ever wondered?what is and isn’t a ranking factor?– or had to make the case to do or not to do something “because it’s a Google ranking factor” – this guide is for you.
The Search Engine Journal team has spent more than 200 hours researching and compiling our findings on 88 signals that have been declared, at one point or another in time, to definitively be Google ranking factors.
And now you can read their results in?Google Ranking Factors: Fact or Fiction.
With this investigation into the validity of supposed ranking signals, SEJ team has done its best to avoid guesses and speculation. They wanted only the facts (e.g., evidence from patents, confirmation from the source, and reputable third-party sources) – not opinions.
Because, let’s be honest, correlation studies on ranking factors may be interesting and entertaining, but they’re nothing more than that.
SEJ developed their R.F.M. – or Ranking Factor Meter – to detect which category each of the supposed ranking signals fall into:
领英推荐
Confirmed: There is direct confirmation from Google, or someone who works at Google, that this signal is used for ranking.
Probably: There is a strong amount of evidence (e.g., public comments, patents, third-party data) indicating Google uses this ranking signal, though neither Google, nor a representative of Google, has officially confirmed it.
Possibly: There is some evidence that Google is using this signal, but no official confirmation from a Google rep and/or conflicting/unreliable data.
Unlikely: This signal hasn’t been ruled out completely, but there is little/no evidence that Google is using, or has used it, to rank results.
Not?Anymore: This used to be a ranking signal but is now outdated or no longer used by Google.
Definitely?Not: A ridiculous idea with zero evidence – or even direct refutation by Google – that this signal is used for ranking.
This guide determines whether the following are Google ranking factors.
