"I hope it will help" but only one way to find out.

Why would clicking on a non-crawled link on a forum, from say, Firefox, and going directly to Metapedia, do anything whatsoever to a search engine rank? What would the mechanism be? Google isn't on that path. Why or how would they know, care, or trust a local count (on Metapedia, or any site) of page loads? --This is a rhetorical question. That isn't how page rank works, at all. @Deleted User . You need links to this article from other locations... Lots of them, and those other pages need to be crawled and indexed.

@Why Tea From Google:

"**Relevancy is determined by over 200 factors**, one of which is the PageRank for a given page. PageRank is the measure of the importance of a page based on the incoming links from other pages. In simple terms, each link to a page on your site from another site adds to your site's PageRank."

It is important to note that we don' t know what those 200 factors are, however, and clicks might be one of them

2018-03-14 15:46:31 UTC  

It does clearly state incoming links as being part of it though

2018-03-14 15:46:55 UTC  

Right, incoming *links*. Clicks aren't links!

2018-03-14 15:48:52 UTC  

There are a lot of variables in the algorithms now, (as described in your quote) and they made some big changes a while back, that have made it harder to manipulate.

2018-03-14 15:50:03 UTC  

I'm happy to explain in more detail but there is a fundamental misunderstanding here. Clicking a link in a discord channel, I promise you, isn't helping.

2018-03-14 15:50:47 UTC  

I agree. We have to get really creative if we want to do this right. They also filter for spam so a script clicking the same link over and over won't do it.

2018-03-14 15:50:55 UTC  

Right.

2018-03-14 15:51:48 UTC  

Any simple thing you think of, to game the system, they already thought of, I guarantee it.

2018-03-14 15:52:43 UTC  

Simple *legitimate* things, now, those we do need to do.

@ChillS I heard a story a few years ago on NPR in which a guy noticed that there were all these seemingly unrelated links in the comments sections of forums. Long story short, people were posting links in every available space because it's boosted their importance in Google's algorithm. The more important the forum was, the higher it boosted the page being looked to

2018-03-14 15:55:47 UTC  

This is the basic idea.

2018-03-14 15:56:56 UTC  

(pasting a link on a non-indexed forum channel and clicking it 1,000,000 times...is not)

2018-03-14 15:58:18 UTC  

Getting our site and the Metapedia link on well trafficked and established sites, on stable pages (not posts that roll off or are archived) is where to start.

2018-03-14 16:01:59 UTC  

For example, Reddit posts and Quora posts from months and years ago are searchable on Google. How much weight/karma these massive sites might have is something to consider... Along with the point that the unwanted link to the SPLC and Wikipedia will be in the post right "next to it".

2018-03-14 16:04:58 UTC  

"What high traffic sites with stable, searchable pages can I put my information (keywords and search terms) on, along with the links I want ranked higher?" (If some thread is talking about floor wax or Egyptian relics, that obviously won't work as desired)

2018-03-14 16:06:00 UTC  

It can work. It won't get clicks, but it will be weighted as appearing on a heavily weighted site

2018-03-14 16:06:16 UTC  

Right.

2018-03-14 16:06:57 UTC  

This works less well than it used to.

200 factors mean they don't want to admit that they are pushing the narrative with their search algorithms.

@Deleted User I like this idea.
