- alecco 4y agoIt's not entirely Google's fault. SEO-oriented content is ruining the web. It's a battle I'm not sure search engines can win. Keyword indexing and PageRank worked for a while because the underlying data wasn't written trying to game them. Then came spam linking and keyword stuffing and more. I'm surprised search engines are still useful in spite of that.
