Google Search Leak: What This Means for Publishers

I'm sure you've heard by now, but earlier this week something unprecedented happened.

Google accidently leaked tons of documents related to their search algorithm.

--

I'm going to get to all the details of the leak below...but first I wanted to give you a brief reminder that the special deal I've been running for Link Whisper ends today!

You can currently get $45 off Link Whisper when you use coupon code "May2024".

When May ends, so does the deal.

While this Google leak doesn't give us the actual code of the algorithm, it does provide THOUSANDS of supporting documents and attributes that show what is included in their algorithm.

Unfortunately for Google, this leak reveals a ton of lies that they have told bloggers and SEOs over the years.

Site authority really does matter. There really is a sandbox. Google really does use click data and chrome data to rank websites.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Jared and I sat down and recorded a news episode to cover the entire story right here.

This leak of documents is something that will likely be talked about for years in the SEO and blogging community.

Be sure to get all the details in today's episode of Niche Pursuits News right here.


Internal Links Are Still Important...

When it comes to ranking in Google, this new leak definitely proved that links are still important.

Site authority, "page" authority, and Google rankings are still impacted by both external and internal links.

You only have full control over your internal links.

And the fastest and easiest way to build, analyze, tweak, and get full reporting on your internal links is with Link Whisper.

I created Link Whisper because I KNOW how important internal links are...and how time consuming it can be to do it right.

However, Link Whisper will save you a TON of time and help you do it right.

The special deal I've been running on Link Whisper ends today!

You can currently get $45 off Link Whisper when you use coupon code "May2024" at the checkout page.

Go ahead and get Link Whisper right here.

When the countdown timer hits zero, this deal will be gone forever!

I hope you have a great weekend,

Spencer
