Very interesting article worth reading over:

Goals of the Correlation Data Research


With this research, we hope to accomplish three big things:

1. Add a new source of data to SEOs' understanding of how Google & Bing rank web pages
2. Bring more science to SEO through a repeatable, peer-reviewed dataset
3. Provide recommendations based on our own interpretations AND open the data for interpretation by others as well

Further research, including causation analysis through more sophisticated ranking models and possibly more correlation analysis on other factors are certainly part of our goals as well.

Did CJ give you that link? LOL

He turned me onto it the other day and I thought it was quite interesting....

I think the best part is some of the comments etc throughout as well....

I suggest to be sure to read through the comments carefully and doing so helps drive home one of the buzzwords we have been using here quite frequently the past month or so...

So of course I had to share with GPWA!

Great article!

Thanks for sharing the link.

...back to link building...

Excellent article and excellent site. I bookmarked it :)
