This evaluation will be used to adjust the weighting of outbound links.<\/li><li>The frequency with which links and\/or anchor text change on a specific website is used to calculate link churn.<\/li><li>If a website&#8217;s link churn exceeds a certain threshold, Google may penalize it.<\/li><li>Since the publication of this patent, there have been claims that maintaining link stability is a factor in search rankings.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should you be hesitant to adjust outbound links because of this alleged negative signal, based on these claims?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is there cause for concern about link churn and link stability?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is what the evidence indicates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Link Stability as a Ranking Factor: Evidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google filed a patent referencing link churn in 2005. An archive is still available on the web, but it has been revised numerous times since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current version of the patent makes no mention of link churn or anything similar. That is a strong indication that, if link stability was ever a ranking factor, it hasn&#8217;t have been relevant in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A patent, after all, is just a patent. Companies constantly file patents for ideas that never make it to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google has to remind us from time to time that not everything it patents is used in search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Opinion on Link Stability as a Ranking Factor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no conclusive evidence that Google tracks the frequency with which websites change their outbound links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, there is no evidence that changing outbound links causes a negative signal known as link churn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the evidence, we can confidently state that link stability is an unlikely ranking factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need help with our free SEO tools?
