Google’s algorithms are a complex system used to retrieve data from its search index and instantly deliver the best possible results for a query. The search engine uses a combination of algorithms and numerous ranking signals to deliver webpages ranked by relevance on its search engine results pages. From 2011 Google strictly followed algorithm changes and also made a team the ‘Webspam Team’ which was governed by Matthew Cutts. After the foundation of webspam team a huge numbers of websites were erased from Google. The first strong algorithm change was;
