I don't think so. If the problem is people gaming the system, making it easier to game isn't going to improve the situation. It's not going to put good content

I don't think so. If the problem is people gaming the system, making it easier to game isn't going to improve the situation. It's not going to put good content creators on a level playing field with spammers, because good content creators simply don't care as much as spammers about search engine gaming.
- rtsil 5y agoBut people are already gaming the system, and on any search from product reviews to code snippets, I see SEO-optimized spams populating the top results. Good content creator don't have the time or the technical inclination to reverse-engineer the ranking algorithm (or to brute-force by creating tens of thousands of sites and see what sticks in a giant multivariate test). Knowing the actual rules might give them a fighting chance, since the bad guys already know these rules anyway.
