DAY 1 | ALL TIMES IN CT
Opening Keynote: How Search Engines Really Work in 2023
Much of what we know about the inner workings of search engines is the remnants of information from an era when search engineers were more transparent about what they were building. As Google and its competitors have evolved, the understanding in the SEO community has not kept pace. However, search engines have continued to share details of their innovations with the Computer Science community. We can review that information
In this talk, Mike King, author of the Science of SEO, will explain and contextualize into a series of actionable insights:
- Technical infrastructure of modern search engines
- How machine learning impacts ranking
- How pages are processed and understanding in the ranking pipeline
- What the details of the Yandex code leak tell us about modern search engines
- How to harness the power of generative AI for the long term
- Why Information Gain needs to be a primary consideration for content moving forward
- What should change about your approach to optimization and analysis
