Merhaba arkadaşlar, belirli bir anahtar kelime için sıralamayla ilgili bir sorum vardı.
Sitelerinde, hatta ana sayfalarında anahtar kelimeden bahseden herhangi bir içerik olmamasına rağmen, bir rakibimin ana sayfasında 1. sırada yer alıyorum.
Kendi araştırmalarıma göre bu sadece geri bağlantılardan kaynaklanıyor gibi görünüyor, ancak bugünlerde Google’ın bundan daha akıllı olduğunu düşündüm.
Durum böyle değil mi ve sıralama neye bağlı? "yüksek kaliteli takip geri bağlantıları" yalnızca söz konusu anahtar kelimeyle mi?

> though they don’t have any content on their site that mentions the keyword or even on their homepage.
Is it synonymous? This is how topical authority works – and if you have lots of authority or CTR history for that word, you can rank for it.
If the wordis distinct however – you can definitely launch a campaign that plays to relevance. I.e. by writing about that keyword specifically, you can leverage your authority.
Rank Score: Relevance X Authority
So if they have1,000,000 authority “points” (for illustrative purposes) and they’re 0.01% relevant = 10k
But if you have 10k authority points buit are 100% relevant = 1m
so a low authority site can definitely come in
>From my own research, it looks like this comes down to just backlinks, but I thought Google was smarter than that these days.
>Is that not the case, and does the rank depend on “high quality do-follow backlinks” with that specific keyword only?
PageRank based on Backlinks is the only model that has consistently worked for Google. Its not about being “smart” – its that people are unique and their tastes and needs are ever changing and evolving and also at different rates.
Content quality is vague, arbitrary and subjective, its not about intelligence.

People essentially lie in life for money, some SEO influencers are no different. But at r/SEO we’re committed to breaking the mold.
That’s because you build up topical authority and co-occurrence… Google doesn’t need you to spell it out, it needs to see that you belong in the cluster.
If your entity, internal links, backlinks, and supporting content all reinforce your authority in the same niche, Google connects the dots for you…
This is why having control over a large authoritative blog network is so much more powerful than any other trick in the book

No, it’s not just backlinks. Google also looks at trust, past history, and how users behave on the site. Sometimes old sites rank even with weak pages. I’ve seen this a lot, and yeah, it feels unfair but it happens.
We rank first page for some keywords with zero backlinks on the subject. SEO is never ever based on one factor.
Yeah, plus site age.

No. Backlink is only a small part of the equation.
