If I operate a webpage, and I incorporate this content quality metadata tag, why would I put anything other than "highest possible quality"?

- jsemrau 4y agoAnd who judges the quality? one man's trash is another man's treasure .
- ozten 4y agoSearch engines are already judging content quality by dwell time and many other factors. Do they have perfect judgement, no. As long as we have centralized search engines than we have specific judges of quality.
- jsemrau 4y agoWe used to live in a world where the pagerank would be an indicator for quality. Yet, as we are now accessing the web through a pre-filtered aggregate on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and also YN, the use case for Google has fundamentally changed
- sorry_outta_gas 4y agoExactly, bro. Quality is subjective, so it's up to the owner of the website to determine the quality of their own content based on their own standards and goals.
- qup 4y agoDisagree, the search engine needs to make the judgement on the quality. As a user doing the search, I can't trust the opinions of the website owners, but I have to trust someone. I want to trust the search provider, particularly because I can easily switch if I choose.
- sorry_outta_gas 4y agoyeah search engines better judge the content right. they better use the right signals, like metadata and user engagement, to give users what they want. and website owners better do their part too, by tagging their content correctly and putting out only the highest quality material.
- ozten 4y agoIf Google or Yandex provides Search engine Tools dashboard that shows their score for your pages and that your being severely punished in SEO. "This appears to be secondary content. Please update your meta data to secondary or bot"
- Gigachad 4y agoIf they can do that, then they don't need a metadata tag at all.
