"In the few months it has been deployed, RankBrain has become the third-most important signal contributing to the result of a search query, he said."
Do we know what is the most and the second-most important signal?
- mappingbabeljc 11y agoHiya. Author here. They wouldn't tell me. Asked a lot.
- Cacti 11y agoPresumably it's 1. personal data or some amalgamation of meta data thereof, 2. page rank, 3. rank brain
- TheSoftwareGuy 11y agopersonal data and such would almost certainly be below page rank.
- frandroid 11y agoNot if that includes the geographical location of the query...
- rayalez 11y agoI would guess relevance(how closely text on the page matches the query) and backlinks(how many popular websites link to the page). Or if relevance doesn't count as signal maybe it's social sharing.
- zuzun 11y agoGoogle users feed Google with training data everyday, just by clicking on links and refining search queries. They basically tell Google what they were looking for. I have no idea how Google works, but I'd guess the user data plays a big role in rankinkg the search results.
- Excluse 11y agoPersonal data is almost certainly in the top two. Stating that, however, would raise privacy concerns from users.
- mortehu 11y ago> Personal data is almost certainly in the top two Do you experience a drastic drop in result quality when you use a public computer?
