All of these things are strange algorithms that credit reporting agencies use to create your score.

Google has extensively changed their algorithms over the last few years placing other factors as much higher value ie, unique/powerful content, powerful back links related in your niche, Key-worded appropriately (1-3%/keyword/page) ect.  

Zillow says their algorithms are within 7% of value's.

In search engine algorithms, it actually might be a compliment - other people think your content is worthy of copying.

In some cases, metered water bills could be cheaper than flat rate if the algorithm of flat rate doesn't fit the property.

I'm all ears if you have a 'formula'... but I believe that algorithm is regional or local and may be difficult to produce.

*Taxes *Closing costs *Maintenance and fees While it sounds good on the screen (since we don’t use paper much anymore…) I can’t fathom any calculator having an algorithm for “What does the future hold?”

The credit score is just an algorithm to sum up whats in the report.

Most search engines scores the domain name so low in the algorithm it's practically irrelevant these days.Best SEO advice is LOTS of content and keep it fresh!

When you take out a mortgage, they use a different credit algorithm for mortgages.
