The Future of Search & Social

…and how to future-proof your marketing

Google Agent Rank Patent:

The identity of individual [author] responsible for content can be used to influence search ratings.

Assuming that a given [author] has a high reputational score, representing an established reputation for authoring valuable content, then additional content authored and signed by that [author] will be promoted relative to unsigned content or content from less reputable [authors] in search results.

Quote from Amit Singhal:

A good product can only be built where we understand who’s who and who is related to whom. Relationships are also important alongside content. To build a good product, we have to do all types of processing. But fundamentally, it’s not just about content.

It’s about identity, relationships and content.
