Yes. Reviews by actual people.
A long, long time ago (last year I think) I used to use google blogsearch to get at the "other side" of hardware reviews: what people who are not being paid to review hardware think of a specific piece of hardware.
Doesn't work any more. There's almost nothing but spam. It's hopeless.
- nkurz 16y agoI agree. There are definitely cases where spam has displaced good results. Although poorly phrased, I guess I was asking a different question: apart from intentional attempts to game the system, are there cases where pages one wants to see are consistently ranked after pages one does not? Which is to say, are there improvements that could be made to Google's ranking algorithms beyond making it more spam resistant?
