Classifying sites as low quality sites
Topics: Backlinks, E-E-A-T, Ranking, User Signals
This patent describes methods, systems, and computer programs for enhancing search results by classifying sites as low quality based on the quality of links pointing to them. It involves receiving a resource quality score for each resource linking to a site, grouping these resources based on their quality scores, and then using the distribution of these scores across groups to determine a site’s link quality score. If this score is below a certain threshold, the site is classified as low quality.
