And Google is saying that they don't want filler content, which makes sense.
- seydor 4y agoMost of their results are SEOed with filler content. Seems they like it very much.
- izacus 4y agoNot only Google, based on HN sentiment, noone wants SEO spam bullshit filling their web either.
- edgyquant 4y agoThey don’t. But it’s pretty obvious Google didn’t care until 2 months ago
- hirako2000 4y agoThey always cared, but wagons of SEO consultants made it their job to figure out how to rank higher without tilting spam detectors.
- skissane 4y agoHas Google really been "outsmarted" by all these SEO consultants? Or is Google smarter than them, but has decided not to use their smarts? Google search is full of content farm crap, and I don't believe Googlers aren't smart enough to work out how to stop it, if they were truly motivated to do that. Maybe, someone has decided that content farm crap is better for advertising revenue than real content. Or that the "average user" would rather crap than real. Or that the expected gain in advertising revenue from improving the search is less than the cost of doing so.
- hirako2000 4y agoYou are right, probably not.
- qup 4y agoDo a search for literally anything and see if you think they're being honest.
