Google has never worked this way. By adding more examples to an SEO article you are also actively farming long-tail clicks, which will make people spend more time on the page and if Google was to use that as a metric (there have been rumours) then it is beneficial to the SEO site as well.
Like I said, Python or any other language can fix this issue by changing the entire mindset of how documentation is built. You can then get the OSS community involved on GitHub to slam dunk on all the SEO spammers.
Just look at MDN or Web.dev, both have their content repos up on GitHub and people contribute metric tons of useful info. And both of these sites have healthy standings in the context of SEO.
- pie_flavor 3y agoNo, MDN routinely loses to w3schools and geeksforgeeks too.
- skilled 3y agoI do agree with you but I didn’t feel it was necessary to point that out. MDN doesn’t use SEO titles so my guess is, that is where it loses out a bit, but for most in-depth JS/CSS stuff, I generally get MDN as a top result. Can’t remember the last time I visited W3S/GFG to be honest. It’s about to get worse though as it appears that DigitalOcean is putting a nail in the coffin for CSS-Tricks and Google will absolutely demote it because of inactivity, only the most linked-to pages will survive until DO decides to shit the bed and try and move the entire site to their Tutorials platform.

- lesuorac 3y agoI mean at one point Google never returned image results. Certainly some of the Python queries could return a card promoting a result from python.org just like other queries return a card promoting wikipedia.org
