If you have good content and high quality backlinks pointing to your site, you don't need to care about this algorithm or others.
Just following Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide from Google is enough for your website to win other competitors.

Where did you get source of these information?
I checked an article from Searchengineland but didn't see they mentioned these factors.

Google Fred is an algorithm update that targets black-hat tactics tied to aggressive monetization. This includes an overload on ads, low-value content, and little added user benefits. This does not mean all sites hit by the Google Fred update are dummy sites created for ad revenue, but (as Barry Schwartz noted in his observations of Google Fred) the majority of websites affected were content sites that have a large amount of ads and seem to have been created for the purpose of generating revenue over solving a user's problem.
