While the article was interesting the first line "We did it. We solved one of the unsolved big SEO (Search Engine Optimization) mysteries of the modern time." had me reaching for the close button. Is it just me or is there a LOT of spin from SEO types?
- Tichy 16y agoStill, SEO exists as a concept and as a name for a group of activities. I am not sure what you find wrong with the sentence?
- rythie 16y agoI imagine getting on Hacker News is a good boost for their SEO, so maybe it worked?
- franze 16y agoas the author of the article in question, SEO and geek i must say: i deliberately overspinned the wording of the article, as - as a matter of fact - the mystery was so mysterious that nobody in the so called SEO "community" ever noticed that there was something rotten going on in their beloved google webmaster reports. and (i'm not sure why, it was a friday afternoon when i wrote that thing) i thought it would be funny to take the typical over-the-the-top-linkbait-kind-of-writing-style and ...... did something nobody has ever done before ... put some real information in it.
- carbocation 16y agoI think the post conveyed the tongue-in-cheek nature pretty well. I actually thought you'd be disclosing an even smaller finding.
