Google has give up on organic search. I am pretty good as that SEO stuff and I can't Google anymore as I can fathom really fast why a page ranks the way it does. And non of it has to do with accurate valuable information. Google is a marketplace, and they let most "engaging" results that adhere to a certain content structure win. By now most paid results offer more value for the users than the organic results. Cause thats what Google wants. Click the paid, ignore the crap.

Yeah that's not how I feel today when I searched for a local buffet by name and accidentally tapped the first, sponsored result which was Golden Corral, yuck. Definitely not "more value" to me

> Google is a marketplace No. Google is a glorified advertising agency who just wants to make the absolute maximum profit for the absolute minimum amount of work. > By now most paid results offer more value for the users than the organic results. Cause thats what Google wants. Click the paid, ignore the crap. Your first paragraph implies that the paid results are crap too?
