MOZ 2015 Search Engine Ranking Factors Study Released

[Dustybones]

Moz has released the 2015 Search Engine Ranking Factors Study and it's looking like they were able to study more data points than any other year.

Some key findings include:

• There are lower correlations between on-page Keyword use and ranking
• HTTPS has a “Very low positive correlation”
• Links to a given website are still powerful
• TLD’s don’t really factor into ranking
• Low Bounce Rates, more pageviews and increased time-on-site played a role in higher rankings.
