First, what's wrong with having Pinterest images in the search results? For the types of queries where they show up, they usually seem to be pretty relevant.
Second, many high-quality sites use ads and analytics. What are you going to do? Downrank the New York Times because it has ads and uprank your local conspiracy theorist because he doesn't?
- drdeca 4y agoWhy would you want a pinterest reupload of an image, instead of the actual source?
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoThey've played games in the past with requiring a Pinterest account. Same with the Quora spam.
- initplus 4y agoPinterest hides the actual image from the search results in a sea of unrelated images, and blocks you from accessing the images without a login. It’s impossible to find the actual image from the search results if the source is pinterest now that Google removed the direct image link from the search results.
- Nextgrid 4y ago> Downrank the New York Times because it has ads and uprank your local conspiracy theorist because he doesn't? If the only difference in ranking between the NYT and the local conspiracy theorist is the presence of ads then yes absolutely. Realistically speaking there's no way the local conspiracy theorist will get the SEO "juice" of the NYT (including domain age/reputation, backlinks, etc), but if he does then he deserves his place. I don't want a search engine to be the one deciding what is considered the "truth".
