Topics: Backlinks, E-E-A-T, Knowledge Graph, Ranking
This Google patent describes a system and method for corroborating facts by analyzing anchor text in web documents. The system determines if a document is relevant to a set of facts by comparing the anchor text of references pointing to that document with the name associated with those facts. If there’s a match, the document is used to verify or refute the facts, thereby improving the overall quality and accuracy of the fact database. The system uses sophisticated methods like n-gram clustering to analyze anchor texts and determine document relevancy.
