Evolution of SEO over years

Quality link specific

When fraudsters tried to add links that does not direct to quality pages, google introduced Quality link specific

When the user search for a specific keyword, related topics are suggested by google.

In 2009, google added a feature which give importance to the user interaction.
Website ranking was on the basis of interaction with the user.
t considered how much time a user spent on a specific website, how many links in the page is opened by the user, etc.
If a user closes a page immediately after opening it, its ranking will be decreased.
