Hi,
I have been experimenting and observing lots of Google behavior while working on my primary site. It appears to me (purely conjecturing here), that Google is using much more information than it is letting on in its pubic statements, since some rankings I have observed are inexplicable using common knowledge. My SEO has been doing his own experimentation and is coming up with the same conclusions. I doubt any SEO professional would reveal additional information on this subject because it would be very proprietary and would be useful as an "edge".
But, again using pure speculation, Google has lots of information that can use today to "skew" results to its favor: e.g. Google Analytics, Adsense statistics, ISP reports, etc. Whether or not they have incorporated any additional stats into its algorithms, I cannot say for sure. Could they? Absolutely. Would they tell us if they did? I doubt it.
As for myself, I keep experimenting and observing and do not rely on conventional wisdom, since I know that it is unlikely to be true.
