It's definitely all about capital now. The algorithms are just not smart enough to make accurate judgements in such a competitive landscape... It might have worked a few decades ago when competition was low, but now the idea that an algorithm can outsmart an army of human SEO experts is ridiculous.
I wonder if things would be better if Google went back to the old approach of Yahoo which involved hiring humans to manually rank the pages (at least partially). I think search results would be significantly better.
- Scoundreller 7y agoIn a way, google does. They track which result you click on, and how long you stay on that page. If google knows who the robots are, and who the humans are, there’s a lot more human input to outweigh a human SEO team managing a team of bots. And google can probably determine which users are best at determining page value and weight their input highly.
- Matsta 7y agoVery true, Whitehat SEO is more comparable to doing a PR campaign nowdays.
