Google's "Freshness" Update - Whiteboard Friday

Hi Rand and Mike, great and fresh WBF today. As Jonathos said in his comment, good your remark about Search Queries and Keywords... great difference. And a difference that finally give me a justification to the Impression Data in the "Search Queries" page of Google Webmaster Tools. Just one note about how Google could decide how fresh pages rank : social signals are maybe the main factor, but I would not exclude also the links metric on domain level, as - usually - a just published page does not own instantly enough link power to justify being ranking in the first positions. A third factor could be - quite obviously - the freshness itself, but I would consider it a minor factor if not substained by the first two. So, social popularity and overall domain authority IMO are the things to take into account if you are a news site or mostly based on news.
