Google results are gamed so much, that often personal blogs that don’t do SEO, but offer interesting content, appear beyond page 5 of Google search results, but are still relevant. Similar issues appear in many situations where search is used on third party results, but even on first-party results the first page is often gamed.
I’ve been thinking about it, and ideally one would make a search engine that only indexes pages that have no analytics, tracking, ads, paywalls, etc. Then I’d find those same pages I’m searching for.
To give an example: I found http://blog.deconinck.info/post/2016/12/19/A-Dirt-Cheap-F-Awesome-Led-Table http://blog.deconinck.info/post/2016/12/19/A-Dirt-Cheap-F-Aw... on page 3 of Google for "raspberry pi led", just below https://tech.scargill.net/home-control-2016/ https://tech.scargill.net/home-control-2016/ (both of which are interesting IMO)
- slobotron 9y agoIt's a first result if you search for "raspberry pi led table"...
- kuschku 9y agoYes, but I wasn't looking about tables. Just general things to do with led strips and raspberry pis. Google is great for finding things you already know, but I'm using it for discovering things I didn't even know I was interested in. I can't exactly just put the entire dictionary into google to try and find what I might like. I enter a category I might like, and look through the results matching that category.
