Google’s Weekend Update

Rand of SEOmoz is one of the few industry bloggers willing to share real SEO tips and information in his posts, rather than simply regurgitating the daily SEO gossip - which explains why many of his posts end up syndicated across many blogs, this one included. Needless to say, he’s got another bit of useful information up about Google’s apparent weekend update:

1. Global popularity/authority of a domain was slightly devalued when calculating rankings of deep, internal pages (and/or)
2. Deep links from external sites to deep content pages is now slightly more valuable

So it looks as if Google is reducing, at least somewhat, the benefit of having a very large, content-laden site as it pertains to any one particular page and its rankings on said site.
