Good reference list. I didn't realize there were so many search engines.

Danny Sullivan writes: "When Google first began, it did have a single authority figure. That was called PageRank, which was all about looking at links to pages. Google counted how many links a page received to help derive a PageRank score for that page....These days, links and content are still among the most important ranking signals. However, artificial intelligence — Google’s RankBrain system — is another major factor. In addition, Google’s ranking system involves over 200 major signals. Even our Periodic Table of SEO Success Factors that tries to simplify the system involves nearly 40 major areas of consideration."

Darn. I guess this means I have to stop showing the Matt Cutts video about how a Google search works! Using AI to improve Google search is fascinating to me.

A good overview to share with teachers and students. I've been sharing the concept of lateral searching with students this year. Several have reported how helpful it is when they're researching controversial topics, especially when they find blog posts at the top of their search results. They now look up the blog'a author before continuing to read the post itself. In many cases, they've found no information on that author, which makes them think twice about using that source!
