Data Exhuast
Data that is shed in the wake of the digital trail left behind.
Google knows how often they clicked on a link but then returned to the search page unimpressed with what they found, only to search again. It knows whether they clicked on the eighth link on the first page or the first link on the eighth page or if they abandoned the search altogether ... If many users tend to click on to a search result at the bottom of the results page, this suggests it's more relevant than those above it, and Google's ranking algorithm knows to automatically place it higher up on the page in subsequent searches.
