These are stale news items. There’s some chance they are fake. And I have no clue how to interpret them. But they certainly are interesting…

From Techcrunch back in October:
Google assigns dollar value to search results

adwords-gg-score

From SEL back in April:
Google Showing Ranking Scores On AdWords?

adwords-pscore

From Search Engine Journal, same event:

    WOW, is anyone taking screenshots when this happens? Google tends to be on the ball with “accidents”. They think their algorithm is like a cocacola recipe and probably assigned a bunch of PHDs to fix it.
