Google's New "E - A - T" Ranking Algorithm Changes the Rules

I Broke All the SEO Rules and Repeatedly Got into Google Top 10

That’s right, Google has dramatically changed the way they rank websites and blogs.Their new “E – A – T” ranking algorithm ignores the traditional ways in favor of quality content authored either by topic “experts” or in an “authoritative” manner.

I put their “E – A – T” to the test by writing for a brand new Panama tours website which was only online for less than 3 weeks, has no links (no incoming, no back links, no internal links), and no visitors (except me and their staff).It even has several coding errors and no keyword meta tags and no meta descriptions.This is the type of brand new website which in the past Google would ignore when ranking websites.

The name of the website is “Pana Thriller” (http://panathriller.com/) which will be providing speed boat tours in Panama. That’s right; they are not even open for business yet!

I wrote the content for their web page using “Panama Bay Night Cruises” as the main keyword phrase.The page was uploaded on October 18, 2016 and in just 5 days Google ranked it #9.One week letter Google ranked it as #6.This week it was ranked #5.

I even experimented with a new blog with the same problems like the website above.In only 6 days Google ranked it #1 and #2 for its main keyword phrase.
