I think this will clear your idea about the new algorithm. Have a nice day.

Are you slamming your page with a bunch of nonsense to get the highest PageRank? Well, I’m sure you don’t, but we all know someone who does, or, at the very least, have run across some webpages that come off more like link breeding grounds than actual, informational and useful content sites. This is how terribly designed websites, or awful copy, some of which is obviously spam, infiltrates its way into the top of the Google pages.
As it is not a published fact, but the open secret is, Google gives importance to the quality of content and the quality of back inks in time of ranking page.
