A leak at Google has revealed the inner workings of its search engine and how it ranks content. Thousands of pages of internal documents from Google’s Content API Warehouse were leaked on GitHub in March by an automated bot named yoshi-code-bot. The leaked documents contain details about the kind of data Google collects and uses, sites Google ranks high for sensitive topics, and how it handles minor websites. The secrecy around the Search algorithm has birthed an industry of marketing and SEO experts who help companies navigate rankings on Google. The Hindu has not independently verified these leaked documents.
