As genuinely interesting as this post is, the below paragraph basically sums up what I'm taking from it right now:

Earlier this year, Stone Temple Consulting released a study saying that links remain incredibly important in Google’s ranking algorithm. Searchmetrics agrees but says that importance has dropped.

Sure, if the data says there's less correlation there, maybe that's correct but to what extent? It's not like we can just start ignoring backlinks any time soon so as far as I'm concerned, it's business as usual.

We already know they're putting an emphasis on things like mobile usability, load speed, HTTPS, valuable content etc and should already be doing these things and that's not about to change.
