Google’s broken date recognition, Beantin webbkommunication (May 28)
Good thing someone is looking at dates. Google went to great effort to offer search refinement by date, but the dates it uses are still very inaccurate.
Google has algorithms for picking up clues about date published. Some say it gives extra weight to dates in titles and main headings. This report shows that it gets confused and that it might be using the date it re-indexed the page.
