If Google is really using that algorithm, then I'm afraid I'm polluting their data. When I am looking for something on Google, I ctrl+click on all the relevant-looking links so they open in new tabs. Since I haven't even read any of the results yet, it is inaccurate to assume that the last link I ctrl+clicked was the most relevant.

I'm sure they recognize that you clicked all those links in order with very little time between them and then spent several minutes off-site.

I'm very, very sure Google recognises different types of users and how they browse Google
