So many people discussing the #YandexLeak ranking factors, missing out on (part2)

Tag TG_DEPRECATED

Code clearly states what it means:

"the factor shall not be used anywhere, but it is still computed and may be present in existing formulas"

Yet, many discard these factors.

The there's the additional factors.
Many just base their analysis on a single file shared by @searchmartin ca. 48 hours after the actual leak, and not the leak itself

You can't judge a software system with 100 Gigs source code based on 1 text file :)

Those 1923 factors are interesting.

But.... there's a lot more.

So many people discussing the #YandexLeak ranking factors.

But I think what's missing is a clear separation off static vs. dynamic factors.

It's tagged nicely in there.

TG_DYNAMIC depends on query

TG_STATIC does not depend on query

Second most important critera is the impact scope of any of those Factors ("modifiers")

TG_DOC
depends on document

TG_HOST
depends on host

TG_OWNER
depends on owner

TG_QUERY_ONLY
depends on query only, not document

#scope

While the scopes seem to clear, the TG_OWNER sparks my interest.

It appears to relate to "footprinting" owers/operators of websites, by using WHOIS data, for example.

Then based on that data penalties are issues, later in the detail factors.

The #YandexLeak is a "political" statement.

All the 100 GB files in the source code archive seem to have the same file date - Feb 24, 2022 - when Russia started its invasion of Ukraine.

It's a subtle hint that Putin will not get control over Yandex.

That leak was an inside job, a highly privileged user - someone as powerful as the legendary "Matt Cutts" of Google...

So "political" means, for me, some kind of "defense" against the Putin regime having too much say in Yandex...

Yandex already open-sourced for example, the amazing Clickhouse database successfully, and in a way, they now "open-sourced," so many other Yandex quality products, which could be seen as a strong political statement in the future.
