Same with Sheldon Brown’s website on bicycle maintenance. Much of the information on his site is still the best resource on the internet but instead Google would rather serve irrelevant results that show ads.
- gregmac 5y ago> but instead Google would rather serve irrelevant results that show ads. Does showing Google Adsense ads actually result in a higher ranking in organic search results? It makes total sense for their business model, to the detriment of users. I've just never considered that before.
- hetspookjee 5y agoIt’s only a matter of time till it gets ripped and hosted on another ad filled website like all the fake stack overflow websites these days. So at least the material is not lost.
- vocram 5y agoGosh! It’s been a while that none of my searches ended up on that site. Now I know the reason.
- stavros 5y agoSame with all organic content. It's just all bullshit SEO spam now, I haven't landed on some dude's blog in ages, and some dude's blog is my favorite part of the web.
- prox 5y agoSame with images, I used to search for historical images, but it’s all a wave of stockimage this and that, and ofcourse flipping pinterest, which usually is just a link to real content anyway. Google Search is aptly named, for finding something relevant and without ads plastering is almost impossible. Anyway, I am happy with DDG now.
