Do you feel that your queries now are approximately similar to those you used to get good results on?
I can see a world in which the parent comment is correct, and we've "dumbed down" our queries because it gets us good enough answers most of the time. For example, perhaps I used to google "halo game walkthrough OR tutorial" and now I would type "halo tips."
- xmprt 7y agoIt's true that I can get decent results with bad queries but the problem is that when you try being more specific, the results don't get much better.
- ergothus 7y agoThe results are more oriented to the bulk appeal, with the result that the long tail gets little attention. If I want what is high in the rankings, it is easy to get with minimal effort. If I want something niche, any specific queries are directed back to the general answer.
