Many articles have been published on the Google Leaks earlier this year including a Twitter Thread by Henk van Ess. I will mention his and the original starting article which should give anyone hand and feet to dig deeper and assess for themselves how fast Google might be able to change this and get a feeling on much of it is still relevant over time.
- [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @henkvaness on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App
- [Wayback1/Wayback2/Archive] An Anonymous Source Shared Thousands of Leaked Google Search API Documents with Me; Everyone in SEO Should See Them – SparkToro
- [Wayback/Archive] Erfan Azimi: Leaked Google Ranking Factors (Public Statement) – Rand Fishkin, Mike King – YouTube
A final note: I wasn’t aware that Google search used the Elixir (programming language) – Wikipedia. Cool!
