Слайд 3What does it mean? How should we apply the data?
Correlation


Слайд 4Correlation does NOT say why these results rank higher than these

results

Слайд 5Correlation tells us what features, on average, the results that rank

higher have which the lower ranking results do not have.

I’m actually MORE interested in this than I am in whatever Google’s actually using to rank the results!


Слайд 7Via Moz’s 2013 Search Ranking Factors


Слайд 8Via Moz’s 2013 Search Ranking Factors
To me, this says individual pages

still matter, but there’s a lot of weight on the hosting domain.

Слайд 9Via Moz’s 2013 Search Ranking Factors
MozRank used to be higher, and

so did linking root domains. Google’s probably getting more complex.

$100 says that if we could

get more comprehensive brand mention data, this correlation would start to look a lot like links

Слайд 11Good discussion about Google+ correlations in this post
Google+ is just too

damn high.

Слайд 12Good discussion about Google+ correlations in this post
Google: “Most of the

initial discussion on this thread seemed to take from the blog post the idea that more Google +1s led to higher web ranking. I wanted to preemptively tackle that perception.”

Слайд 13Good discussion about Google+ correlations in this post
To me, that’s Google

working really hard to NOT say “we don’t use any data from Google+ (directly or indirectly) at all in our ranking algorithms.” I would be very surprised if they said that.

That said, all of

the correlations with social are high. That tells me the things that make content have success on social probably have a lot of overlap with what makes content successful in Google.

Domain name keyword matching

continues to show decline.

Слайд 16Via Mozcast
PMD was as high as 5% two years ago. EMD

was almost 6%. Both have fallen precipitously.

Слайд 17Basic introduction to LDA and topic-modeling systems here.
We were able to

build a better keyword-modeling system in 2013, and correlations were higher than in past studies looking at raw keyword repetition or use in title elements.

Слайд 18More on rankings and page load time here.
Response time was interesting,

but it’s likely a very small direct factor and relatively big indirect factor (i.e. users like fast-loading pages, and people link to/share what they like) ☺

Слайд 19See How Unique Does Content Need to Be.
Last, more content still

seems to, on average, slightly overperform vs. less content. I’d question any causality here, though.

Слайд 20
I hope to see many, many more correlation tests and more

things considered! Causal or not, correlation data is incredibly useful.

Слайд 21What can we learn from a recent SEO test?
Testing


Слайд 22
Hypothesis:
It seems like Google is starting to ignore or discount anchor

text in links.

Слайд 23Here were the test conditions:
#1: Three-word keyword phrase in Google.com US
#3:

We pointed links with NO query-matching anchor text from 20 unique, not-particularly-on-topic, high DA domains at result A and EXACT-anchor-text match links from the same pages at result A.

#2: At start of test, result A ranked #20, B ranked #13.


Слайд 24After 3 Weeks:
All of the links had been indexed by Google
Result

B (with exact-match anchor text) ranked #9 in Google.com US

Result A (with non-query-matching anchor text) ranked #18 in Google.com US


Слайд 25Of Additional Interest:
Result B (with exact-match anchor text) ranked #4 in

Google.co.uk

Result A (with non-query-matching anchor text) ranked #19 in Google.co.uk

~5 of the 20 linking domains were from UK sites


Слайд 26
Takeaways:
#1) Anchor text still matters
#2) Geographic location of links matters


Слайд 27
I’d love to see lots more testing in the SEO world.

Even imperfect tests are fascinating and useful, IMO.

Слайд 28Three guesses Rand has about what Google’s up to
Hypotheses


Слайд 29Hypothesis #1: Carousels and “Brand” are Connected
However Google’s determining carousel placement

is also connected to their entities and brand signals

Слайд 30Hypothesis #2: There’s an aspect of mention frequency and mention source

in Google’s brand/domain bias

More and more, these queries return results that look like what you’d get if you polled people on the street to tell you what brands they most associated with the phrase “men’s sneakers”


Слайд 31Hypothesis #3: Google is using search & visit patterns to connect

words & phrases and rank results

Why do they list these 3 in the top 10? My guess – it’s because they are most often visited by people who’ve done searchers around “luxury resorts Australia”


Слайд 32
Hopefully, these hypotheses can lead to experiments, results, and more sharing
