Historically, links were important for SEO as having lots of high-quality links pointing to a website could enhance the site’s trustworthiness and importance. Plus, the anchor text of those links could be used to provide additional information and make it easier for the search engine to contextualise the page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, at the conference, Illyes said that nowadays, websites don&#8217;t need as many links to rank well in search results. Instead, Google’s machine learning and use of AI have made it easier for the search engine to understand web pages without the need for these links. For this reason, Google is placing less emphasis on links when it comes to ranking factors. On X, Illyes seemingly backtracked on his statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"406\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.impression.co.uk\u002F2024\u002F05\u002Fapril-2024-seo-updates-1.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&q=90\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28590\"\u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ftwitter.com\u002Fmethode\u002Fstatus\u002F1781357974578995315?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1781357974578995315%7Ctwgr%5E138916fa513ff09833ee35f1014f3fe0467144bb%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.searchenginejournal.com%2Fgoogle-needs-very-few-links%2F514494%2F\">methode on X\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.impression.co.uk\u002F2024\u002F05\u002Fapril-2024-seo-updates-3.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&q=90\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28592\" width=\"363\" height=\"815\"\u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u003Cem>Source: \u003C\u002Fem>\u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.linkedin.com\u002Ffeed\u002Fupdate\u002Furn:li:activity:7190681868055248897\u002F\">\u003Cem>Dave Peris on LinkedIn\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\u003Cp>This caused a bit of a stir in online discussions.
