As I wrote previously, Google E-E-A-T<\/a> is not a ranking factor. Since writing this, Google has gone on to list a series of SEO myth-debunking statements (which we called out over a decade ago) yet its just not stopping the Ivory Tower Copywriters who keep insisting it is. Its not even possible. And when asked, on Reddit and Twitter, they offer conjecture and misinformation – often linking to content they haven’t even read (or didn’t understand, which raises questions about their own thoughts as “EEAT experts”)<\/p>\n

One such offer on Twitter and Reddit pointed to Google’s Language understanding ML and associated patents, which explain how Google tries to understand translations, citing examples from English to German. Because that’s all they can find on how Google is trying to be a content appreciation engine.<\/p>\n
