SEO
In the Industry there are a few people I listen too Jason is one of them …
he are his views on hilltop and pagerank
New Google Ranking Formula = {(1-d)+a (RS)} * {(1-e)+b (PR * fb)} * {(1-f)+c (LS)}
Like the old algo there are damping factors in place and again what we don’t know what they are so once again I haven’t included them in my plain English example, just leaving factors we can work with and can deliver and/or register.
The Hilltop algo adds to the old Algo by giving a further multiplier, the LocalScore Rank (LS)
LocalScore builds upon PageRank by building a score for a page based upon the inward links to a page that come from “on topic” “authority sites”
I won’t go into details about how LS and Hilltop works (as there are far better resources out there at explaining it than I can muster) but in essence it means that LS has a massive effect on the previously SEO’d pages for Searched phrases that have marked as needing to be more relevant and therefore having the LS score applied.
I say the “searched phrases that have been marked as needing to be more relevant” as it has been put forward that LocalScore only comes into play for a subset of searched terms. This is because of the massive computational overheads of working out a LS for a page and the impossibility (with G’s current architecture) to compute the LS on the fly for a search phrase.

WOW Dave, what can I say but thanks?
So thankyou!
I wrote that article about a year or so ago and still stand by it. It, and it’s sibling article can be found at various places but also at seopapers.com if you’re interested.
The only thing I think has changed is that the Hillock Peak has mutated into a a Mountain Pinnacle of an algo and includes more and more methods of defining genetic relationships. (read my other stuff for what I mean about DNA in the SERPs)
Just for the record I am accepting these kind words as payment in kind for you knocking seven bells out of a young whipper snapper of a hockey player about 10 or so years ago. The lumps are “just” starting to go down!
Seriously, cheers mate now back to spamming and reverse engineering :)
