The main task of search algorithms is to provide the user with quality content that matches the search query. Despite advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, search algorithms are still unable to fully understand content and evaluate its quality in the same way that humans can.
- Therefore, in addition to formally assessing the quality of content, SEO also takes into account links to this content from other sites. These links serve as a kind of “voice” confirming the value and authority of the material.
- At the moment, it is most difficult to manipulate the formal signs of content structure than to create fake links from external sites. This is why manipulation of external links remains one of the main problems for search engines. In response to this, search engine algorithms tend to consider links that are least susceptible to manipulation and are the most difficult to falsify.
- The quality of content, from an SEO point of view, is determined by many formal characteristics. Among them, the most important are the structure of the text, the frequency of occurrence of keywords that relate to a particular topic, and their correspondence to the reference texts used to train search algorithms.
- To train search engines, a supervised machine learning method is used. In this process, the algorithm analyzes reference articles and identifies formal features that are necessary for further analysis. Based on this data, hidden patterns are revealed, which helps the search algorithm determine which signs indicate the “maturity” and quality of content.
- When the algorithm understands in which “corridors” certain parameters should be located, this allows it to distinguish high-quality texts from low-quality ones. With each update, search algorithms become more advanced, expanding the number of factors by which the quality of content is determined.
- Thus, each update to search algorithms significantly improves the system's ability to determine the quality of content, taking into account all available formal characteristics, and to minimize the impact of manipulation of external links.
