I don’t understand why Google doesn’t make an effort to do this? Aren’t these SEO “content” people a competitor, of sorts?

- bell-cot 5y agoI'd call most of them "saboteurs", not "competitors".
- phh 5y agoGoogle's market is ads. SEO "content"'s market is ads. They are definitely competing.
- cavisne 5y agoI think they would have seen this coming, they just couldn't do anything about it. The rise of social media has moved most human generated content onto a few platforms, most of whom don't let Google index them (facebook being the main one). They probably need to figure out how to pull information out of youtube (which there seem to be some initial efforts at). However they might already be in trouble there, as TikTok is growing a huge archive of 20 second answers to common queries.
- bombcar 5y agoThe websites are stuffed full of ads ... Google ads. Where's the incentive to change? They don't pay, their customers do.
- vikingerik 5y agoThey do make an effort. They're just losing the arms race.
