And how are people supposed to find it if it's not SEO-optimized? Only Hacker News folks in-the-know? It seems like a really odd point to bring up.

It seems like a really odd point to bring up.
- Spivak 10y agoI think most of the time it's because everyone has experienced getting low quality results from SEO optimized sites. It's getting to the point where one cannot shop or search for product recommendations on popular search engines because you'll get nothing but toptenreallyspecificproduct.com or absolutebestproduct.com. Optimizing for search rankings doesn't say anything directly about any given site, but it's generally a signal for low quality content that would not rank highly without such optimizations.
- jdavis703 10y agoThe only time I use Google to find a product is when I know need something but don't know what it's called exactly. Otherwise I just go to the relevant e-commerce site to skip past all the BS.
- justinlardinois 10y agoBelieve it or not, having quality content that's presented simply with clean URLs is also a good search engine optimization.
- Kiro 10y ago> It seems like a really odd point to bring up. How so? I pointed it out because I think people in here are interested in SEO and I wanted to highlight that this page is a good example of effective SEO. They do things right. It's obviously an SEO focused site so NOT bringing up SEO would be odd if anything. It's more or less why this site exists.
