I suspect their job has gotten way harder. It's easy to forget that they aren't just passively indexing. The web is basically google's adversary, with every page trying to be top ranked regardless of whether it "should" be.
- Lammy 7y agoI think it's disingenuous to say "the web is basically google's adversary" when Google AdWords is the reason so many pages fight for top ranking.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 7y agoWell sure, but I was hoping my narrow meaning would be clear: the search team operates in an adversarial environment.
- Lammy 7y agoThe Search team isn't some helpless independent group adrift on currents outside of their control.
- ori_b 7y agoIf it wasn't AdWords, it'd be something else. People build websites because they want their content to be seen. That means competing for search result ranking.
