Nonsense, seo doesn't matter (as per Google) when people come or seek your site. The more likely explanation is that Google and its 3/4 quarter-of-a-trillion valuation depends of having good relations with the Feds, anti-trust and all. See At&T how it manages to screw everyone when it comes to protecting their own interests. They do what the Feds and NSA asks them to do.
Your 20 year old site doesn't age in months to go from #1 to page #3 (dead!). The fact that the site has gotten press is even better, it should help your rankings. But by now Google is not longer a fair engine. Their rankings are manipulated to boost their bottom line, directly or indirectly.
- janoc 8y agoNobody has any illusions about Google being fair but if the first thing people do to "solve" this is to bring out all the hairy conspiracy theories instead of fixing the stupid site, no wonder the ranking still sucks. facepalm Only once that is fixed and the rankings are still bad is complaining about "feds" and what not maybe warranted.
- onetimemanytime 8y ago">> instead of fixing the stupid site" Fix what? If Google wants to demote you, doesn't matter what you do. See https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/special-reports/insider-threats/article24752116.html https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/special-reports/insider-thr... What happened that it went from #2 to page 3? Nothing. Page 3 is a black hole, used to be called a page 3 penalty (get zero traffic, might as well be banned.) The site is accessible and readable. A lot of sites are old fashioned...see Drudge.
- mindslight 8y agoThis tendency to characterize the recognition of basic aligning interests as "conspiracy theory" is really odd. I personally don't think GP's theory passes Occam's Razor, but that does not refute the underlying contours of the situation.
