How Does Google Measure Quality Content?

How do they do it?

I've been doing SEO for a while and I'm looking for more of a direct answer than anyone has provided me with in the past. I'm seeking out the technical indicators for quality content. I would imagine these could be indicators:

1) Bounce rate / another search. Google could measure when a back button was hit or if the visit to the site produced another Google visit.

2) Social indicators. If people are sharing it a lot. I've seen studies that contradict this theory but they HAVE to be measuring it.

3) The old ones everyone knows about: inbound links, uniqueness, markup.

Think I'm right? Any other things they could be measuring?

    Just brainstormed some factors:
    • Article length
    • Misspelled words
    • Article freshness (if you keep updating)
    • Comments
    • Definitely uniqueness

    Nowadays, Google has flipped lots of quality measurement parameters, so i'd like to highlight one major factor i.e CONTENT POPULARITY.

    More the content would popular, more it will be linked, will have more social presence, will have more online distribution.

    So that most of the authority site ranks well. For e.g: New York Times Article

    Once NYT publish an article, it gets distributed, linked, socialized and ranks well in few hours top of the Google SERP and that is because of content popularity.

    Hope this would help !!
