      It’ll get even worse now if SEO people find out how exactly you can game the algorithm

        While this data shows what factors Google Search might take into consideration when ordering Search results, it does not reveal what the importance/”weight” of each factor is to the final ranking.

        Well, phew.

          we absolutely couldn’t now run a few experiments and estimate the weights from them. No that’s some sorcery.
