> Edit: Oh wait I found it; the author is Vladimir Prelovac, CEO, Kagi Inc. What does Kagi Inc. do? I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader, but I bet you guess it in one try... Point taken. But it's not as though this was concealed. The top line of the page is "Tales from Kagi." The piece is hosted on blog.kagi.com. The author's signature at the end of the piece reads "CEO, Kagi Inc." The final line of the post is "I hope you join us [i.e., Kagi] on this journey."

It just bothers me that this blatant SEO attempt is an article about how SEO ruined PageRank. Maybe it doesn't bother you, just thought it was worth calling out explicitly.

  > blatant SEO attempt It is marketing and trying to influence the discourse, but I don't see how you can call it SEO.

    Writing blog articles like this and posting them to social media to create crosslinks is a very common SEO strategy to "trick" PageRank into promoting your site higher in search results. It's the whole purpose behind all of those random blog articles on corporate sites; to improve PageRank ranking.

      I have seen a lot of SEO content spam, and this article does not come across as that to me.
