I agree with your point, but as a user, I would want Google to rank results lower if the content served to the Googlebot isn't the same as the content served to the general public.
I'd expect this behavior to be a red flag in Google's ranking algorithm. Don't drop Quora, but just let them slide below the fold on results.
- jobigoud 7y agoThis behavior is known as "cloaking", and it is in direct violation of Google’s Guidelines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHtnfOgp65Q&t=431s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHtnfOgp65Q&t=431s
- jorams 7y agoIt may be in the guidelines somewhere, but if they actually cared at all, LinkedIn and Pinterest would have disappeared from all search results years ago.
- bluedino 7y agoWorks with the same way with LinkedIn profiles
- neop1x 7y agoYes, that's an unfair practice. Ans they disable Google cache at the same time. Why do I see it in the results when I can't read it without making an account, or worse paying some subscription. It should be hidden then.
