Search engines [positively] judge content by how poorly it links to other materials. The rest is obvious.

It's funny back in 2000 PageRank was all the rage and it worked by figuring out some kind of eigenvalue based on how well pages linked to each other...

Maybe that's still true so long as other people link to you but you don't link to anyone else...

If you go here and examine the article extremely carefully (unrealistically carefully) you would find in the section "Persistent organic pollutants" a link to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_disruptor

Which links to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenoestrogen

Does you filter allow to filter that stuff out, tested and all? What is this filter made of - food grade steel, aluminum, or have some plastic parts/tubing too?
