Jason Duke
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.

http://www.strangelogic.comWOW 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

DaveN posts over at his new blog threadlinked above on the Hilltop algo and LocalScore according to JasonD – A worthwhile short read, here’s a snippet:

http://www.pixelpunk.comLOL. I had just finished reading the interview with Jason in Aaron Wall’s book and was trying to learn more about him. How appropriate that I end up here…on the father of link engineering’s blog. Thanks, DaveN.
