Without time to hunt down the articles, I was fairly sure Google has been publicizing that they were going to give AMP priority for a long time now, no?

- partiallypro 8y agoAbsolutely, everyone knows that AMP pages are ranking higher in Google and are rewarded. We are getting requests for it at my job for that very reason. We even have contacts at Google that will schedule AMP calls with you and build the pages for you. It's no secret. I unfortunately have to do it for our customers, but privately I view AMP as a Google controlled cancer on the web.
- joegahona 8y agoNot that I've seen. Everything I've seen from Google says that AMP has no bearing on rankings. If there's stuff published by Google, or quotes directly from Google people working on AMP, that say differently, I'd love to see it.

- ricardobeat 8y agoEven disconsidering organic results, only AMP pages are eligible for display in the carousels at the top of the page. The end result is the same as being upranked.
- joegahona 8y agoYeah, definitely -- I acknowledge this elsewhere in the thread. There's no denying that those items have preference, but I believe they're news-only (as of now).
