Welcome back contractors! In this episode, we dive into the biggest Google search algorithm leak in history, exposing thousands of APIs in a 2,500+ page document. We dissect just some of the bigger points from the leak, providing insights and actionable tips for contractors regarding search engine optimization (SEO) and website management. This is a must-watch for any contractor looking to gain insight and knowledge of the Google leak and wanting to capitalize on this valuable information!
Episode Highlights:
- The leak confirms that Google uses users' past 13 months of click behavior (called "Nav Boost") to determine search rankings for navigational queries.
- Google tracks users' entire clickstream data, including clicks from social media, emails, and other sources leading to a website.
- Toxic backlinks, especially those with spammy anchor text, can negatively impact a website's ranking.
- Every page title on a website has a site-wide ranking implication, not just for that specific page.
- The past 20 revisions or updates made to a website also factor into its overall ranking.
- Google sandboxes new websites for around 30 days, leading to an initial dip in organic traffic.
- Running paid advertising (PPC) campaigns can help improve organic rankings, as confirmed by the leak.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
