In her article Are Local Citations (NAP) A Google Ranking Factor?, Miranda Miller says, “Citations have long been widely accepted by SEO professionals as a key local ranking factor.

In the other article Link Velocity: Is It A Ranking Factor?,Matt Southern says, “The origins of link velocity in the SEO community can be dated back to the discovery of a Google patent that was filed in 2003.

The patent, Information Retrieval Based on Historical Data, includes ideas about how a search engine should treat a website based on the growth of its link profile.”
