Google's evolution into deep learning has created a whole new kind of algorithm; one that differs substantially from the type of ranking system SEOs & marketers have become used to over the past 17 years. In this presentation, Rand explores the changes Google's made, and how it impacts the actions necessary to be successful in 2016 and beyond.

SearchLove Boston 2015 | Rand Fishkin, 'Ranking Signals of the Future'Distilled
Every year in the web world, we experience dramatic changes and upheaval that impacts how web marketers need to do their job. 2015 is no different, and in this presentation, Rand will show off the major trends and shifts from search engines, social platforms, and consumer behavior alongside the strategies and tactics to stay ahead of the curve and earn valuable traffic.
Featuring insights from The Wizard of Moz himself, Rand Fishkin reminded us during his popular SEO presentation at Content Marketing World 2015, search engines are constantly evolving their algorithms to enhance their ability to serve consumers’ needs. And while current systems are highly pro cient at classifying the terms of a search query, calculating its likely intent, and ranking potential results in terms of their relevance, the search engine of tomorrow will likely use more advanced methods of mapping (and manipulating) the mechanics of meaning.
What does all this mean for marketers? And, more importantly, what should you be doing now to prepare your content for the rise of sentient SEO? Read on!
This presentation examines how Google's ranking systems have prioritized searcher-task-accomplishment, and how SEOs must respond by optimizing for this process.
Rand Fishkin's presentation covering 7 of the biggest trends in SEO in 2016 from changes in Google's handling of keywords to CTR opportunities to machine learning and more.

As web marketing undergoes its biggest shift in a decade, how we impact audiences needs to evolve. In this presentation, Rand shows how web marketers in content, search, social, and advertising (+ influencer marketing) can shift their strategic and tactical investments to align with what the big platforms offer, and how consumer behavior has changed, too.
Influencer marketing can be a powerful tactic, but the practice is far too narrow, and often focused on wrong metrics. In this presentation, Rand expands on what marketing through influence can do, and shows examples of a higher ROI form of marketing through channels of influence (not just Instagram & YouTube "influencers")

High CTR for this position?

High amplification rate?
Low bounce rate?
Strong pages/visit after
landing on this URL?These are likely to be the criteria of
on-site SEO’s future… People return to the site
after an initial search visit
49. OK… Maybe in the future.
But, do those kinds of
metrics really affect SEO

a Little for KWs, but a Lot for Clicks
If you rank #3, but have a higher-than-
average CTR for that position, you might
get moved up.
Via Philip Petrescu on Moz
70. Every Element Counts
Does the title match what
searchers want?
Does the URLseem

Do searchers recognize

domain?
Is your result fresh? Do
searchers want a newer
result?
Does the description

An SEO’s Checklist for Better Engagement:
79. Via NY Times
e.g. this interactive graph
that asks visitors to draw
their best guess likely gets
remarkable engagement
80. e.g. Poor Norbert does
a terrible job at SEO,
but the simplicity
compels visitors to go
deeper and to return
time and again
Via VoilaNorbert
83. Google’s looking for
content signals that a
page will fulfill ALL of a
searcher’s needs.
I think I know a few
ways to figure that
out.
84. ML models may note that
the presence of certain
words, phrases, & topics
predict more successful
searches
85. e.g. a page about New York that doesn’t
mention Brooklyn or Long Island may not be
very comprehensive
86. If Your Content Doesn’t Fill the Gaps in Searcher’s Needs…
e.g. for this query, Google might
seek content that includes topics
like “text classification,”
“tokenization,” “parsing,” and
“question answering”
Those Rankings Go to Pages/Sites That Do.
87. Moz’s Data Science Team
is Working on Something to
Help With This
The (alpha) tool extracts likely
focal topics from a given
page, which can then be
compared vs. an engines top
10 results
90. Pages that get lots of
social activity &
engagement, but few
links, seem to
overperform…
91. Google says they
don’t use social
signals directly, but
examples like these
make SEOs
suspicious
92. Even for insanely competitive
keywords, we see this type of
behavior when a URLgets
authentically “hot” in the
social world.
93. Data from Buzzsumo & Moz
show that very few articles
earn sharesAND that links &
shares have almost no
correlation.
Via Buzzsumo & Moz
94. I suspect Google doesn’t
use raw social shares as
a ranking input, because
we share a lot of content
with which we don’t
engage:
Via Chartbeat
95. Google Could Be Using a Lot of Other Metrics/Sources to Get
Data That Mimics Social Shares:
Clickstream (from Chrome/Android)
Engagement (from Chrome/Android)
Branded Queries (from Search)
Navigational Queries (from Search)
Rate of Link Growth (from Crawl)
96. But I Don’t Care if It’s Correlation or Causation;
I Want to Rank Like These Guys!
97. BTW – GoogleAlmost Certainly Classifies SERPs
Differently & Optimizes to Different Goals
These URLs have loads of shares & may have high loyalty, but
for medical queries, Google has different priorities
98. Raw Shares & LinksAre Fine Metrics…
Via Buzzsumo
99. But If the Competition Naturally Earns
Them Faster, You’re Outta Luck
4 new shares/day
2 new shares/day
3 new shares/day
10 new shares/day
100. And Google Probably Wants to See Shares that
Result in Loyalty & Returning Visits
101. New KPI #1: Shares & Links Per 1,000 Visits
Unique Visits
÷
Shares + Links
