SEOs$don’t$have$the$tools$

All$SEO$tools$and$their$data$are$based$on$modelling$PageRank$

including$Majes(c,$Moz$and$AHrefs$

Whilst$a$domain’s$authority$is$useful$for$evalua(ng$links,$the$

MathSight$uses$sophis(cated$mathema(cs$commonly$used$in$Banking$

influence$on$SEO$traffic$from$Google$and$other$

SE$signal$extrac(on$

MathSight$regularly$crawls$websites$and$the$external$inbound$linking$web$pages$to$extract$“signals”$much$in$the$

same$way$a$search$engine$does$

Currently$we$have$over$113$signals$and$by$Q3$2014$we$will$have$over$200.$$$

MathSight$uses$the$site’s$analy(cs$data$(including$traffic)$to$analyse$which$signals$are$significant$in$

causing$gains$and$losses$in$traffic$
