🔍 HUGE Google Search document leak reveals inner workings of ranking algorithm

The documents reveal how Google Search is using, or has used, clicks, links, content, entities, Chrome data and more to rank content. [View in browser]() | [Share]() May 28, 2024 [Search Engine Land]() Google’s Search API documentation, or at least part of it, has been leaked. This document reveals the inner workings of the Google Search ranking system, what goes into how Google scores and ranks webpages in its most secretive and protected company jewels. It is unclear which are active ranking signals, how much they are weighted (if at all) and the context around each reference. But Rand Fishkin and Mike King did an outstanding job going through the details and explaining how some of Google’s previous statements may have come off as untrue or, at best, misdirected.
