I don't know anything about Google's current algorithm, but I would be surprised if they don't factor click-through and other user "satisfaction" metrics into page ranking. Someone searches for XYZ coupon, clicks the RetailMeNot link and doesn't immediately hit "back", RetailMeNot wins some PageRank.
- davemel37 13y agoThat is definitely a ranking factor although not influencing pagerank. I think that coupon codes get lots of natural links and sharing because they drive immediate value. Also, by updating their content constantly to be fresh, that also helps. Google definitely has a way to see which site has the freshest coupons.A site like RMN with the freshest/most recent updates might rank higher.
