If those sites were trying to SEO your search engine, rather than Google, then they’d be the only results you saw, too.

- marginalia_nu 5y agoOh yeah, absolutely. I think a big part of the problem is Google's dominant position essentially puts them in an impossible uphill battle against an entire industry attempting to game their algorithms. The solution to this problem is search engine diversity. If you have multiple search engines with incompatible algorithms and disparate views on quality, then even if you manage to game one of the algorithms effectively, that search engine will just lose popularity and your SEO will be less useful. The winning strategy becomes to attempt to SEO against multiple contradictory algorithms, which is something that will never be as successful as manipulating Google alone.
