Google’s Algorithm Explained

Book excerpt: Google makes improvements to the ranking algorithm nearly every single day. Several of them are minor tweaks; some shake up the SERPs severely. Google's algorithms construe as an enlightened method used for extracting data from its search database and providing the best possible results for a question instantly. Using a mixture of algorithms and various ranking signals, the search engine offers web pages ranked by importance on its SERPs (search engine results pages).

A majority of these changes are so small that they go unnoticed altogether. Nonetheless, the search engine periodically rolls out significant algorithmic updates which have a huge effect on SERPs such as: · Intrusive interstitials update · Fred · RankBrain · Mobilegeddon · Penguin · Panda · Pigeon · Hummingbird · Page layout algorithm · Payday · Exact match domain (EMD)
