Interesting stuff, although difficult to understand some of it. Does anybody know when the research was carried out - I wonder if the results would be different after Google launched it's new algorithm?

I know that it was during the year 2013, because on the page below they talk about the overall algorithm they used. I can't find a place where they get more specific than that.

That's very useful to know. As it's 2013, it seems that the respondents are anticipating the changes Google made as a lot of the higher ranking factors are "on page".
