What I don't understand is why Google doesn't hell ban these pages. It seems trivial, at least as a human, to detect them. You don't even need to do this for all of them. Just banning a few hundred will deter everyone else.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoWhat exactly is being hellbanned here? Any web page with an uninteresting preamble like most articles and blog posts online?
- novia 7y agoSpammy websites. A flag tool given to long time Google account holders would be helpful.
- reaperducer 7y agoWhat I don't understand is why Google doesn't hell ban these pages Because Google doesn't have a financial incentive to show you quick, quality answers to you questions. Google makes more money from you flailing around and fruitlessly searching over and over than giving you the right answer the first time.
- mindcrime 7y agoGoogle makes more money from you flailing around and fruitlessly searching over and over than giving you the right answer the first time. That will work right up until the time somebody comes along and build a search engine (or other app) that will just "give you the right answer the first time." For all their size and power, there's really nothing - in principle - stopping somebody from coming along and doing to Google, what Google did to Altavista. Yes it would be hard to execute, which may be why it hasn't happened... yet.
