Wouldn't be surprised if they use it in search rankings, chances are they already do. And not being on Google effectively == dead. They already take into account page load speed (which discriminates against complex but useful & good web apps) and iirc also whether you have AMP.
- anoncareer0212 6y agoMaybe Google's CEO runs lighthouse on a server in his closet and personally has hacked it into something ads something something data something something search My point being, I'm not personally amenable to conspiratorial thinking, it correlates with argument dysfunction
- aww_dang 6y agoDo a test and compare your own optimized site to an amp site. See if you can't beat it. Not that hard when you consider the 3rd party requests amp requires.
- the_pwner224 6y agoI never said amp is good or fast, just that (iirc, but 90% sure) Google penalizes you for not having amp.
- aww_dang 6y agoMy experience is that AMP is necessary for google news etc. Haven't seen the outcome you speak of as compared to regular pages which are optimized.
- httpsterio 6y ago"While AMP itself isn't a ranking factor, speed is a ranking factor for Google Search" https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/about-amp https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/about-amp Google using technology they have developed to rank other sites on their search engine while making sure that nobody cna leave the Google-verse (as AMP sites are served from Google's CDN and not the original source). It would open them up to huge anti trust issues, so at least officially they have said that it's not a ranking factor.
