4 - Boosting the organic relevancy by recency (age)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video explains how search results are sorted by relevancy via Google's organic search, which uses a complex algorithm. When two courses are equally relevant, boosting can adjust their ranking based on factors like recency or whether a course is paid. The "relevancy boost" feature in the dashboard allows settings for recency boost levels: aggressive, moderate (default), and gradual, impacting how course age affects ranking. Course age is based on the publication date, which can be adjusted if inaccurate, especially for migrated courses. Updated courses may appear younger, influencing their boost and positioning in search results.
