Because Google manipulates the results.
- ineedasername 6y agoEvery aspect of a search algorithm and page ranking or however you do it is a manipulation of results. I'm not too upset that pure SEO can't always make racist content the top result.
- bzb6 6y agoI’m not saying that, I’m saying Google manipulates those exact queries on purpose. We are not talking algorithms here, but manual manipulation. If Alexa doesn’t manipulate queries, then it’s normal they are getting those results from it.
