Yet when I search for 'anti polygraph' [in uk] guess which site ranks top? Like I would expect.
The site title is 'Learn How to Pass a Polygraph Test' yet the term doesn't appear anywhere on the homepage?
I'd agree with the general sentiment that Google search is getting worse but this isn't a great example.
- asah 8y agoAdding to this: - search for [anti inflammatory] shows the site as first result and it's on page two for [polygraph controversy]. At the least, the blog post is misleading. - as per other comments, the site isn't mobile friendly, which has a huge impact on mobile ranking. - searching for [polygraph] the first page includes several listings discussing the controversy around polygraph results. The results are reasonably high quality stuff, i.e. valid choice. - a more valid test search might be [polygraph accuracy] or [polygraph controversy] to focus on the debate and less on testing centers and basic information.
