Guys, while reading through G's patent application (exciting I know), I came across a bit that made me pause for a minute.

Now I emphasized the part that jumped out at me. Is this something that they were doing years ago but no longer applies? This might be something that was popular before I even knew what SEO was and is probably old news to you guys, but I was under the impression that CTR never improved your SERPs. If this is old stuff, which I am pretty sure it is, this illustrates a need for an SEO history document of sorts. Maybe someone can walk those of us who are relatively new to the scene through how SEO has progressed. I know that kw stuffing used to be the answer but apparently I have a lot to learn about SEO history.
