We demonstrate that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) attributes provide strong signals for predicting news site reliability. We introduce a novel attributed webgraph dataset with labeled news domains and their connections to outlinking and backlinking domains. Finally, we introduce and evaluate a novel graph-based algorithm for discovering previously unknown misinformation news sources. This dataset is provided courtesy of Ahrefs.com. The associated paper is upcoming at ICWSM 2024.
