Agree googles machinations have not helped, but disagree with your 90/10 split.
- calibas 3y agoYou can't really separate SEO and the Google algorithms. SEO is a product of the Google's ranking algorithms. The entire effort of SEO is to either to follow Google's official guidelines, or reverse-engineer how things work to exploit their algorithms. Those whole point of SEO is to score higher on ranking algorithms.

SEO messes with the algorithms, algorithms change to account for it, lather rinse repeat. More recently though, google make presentation changes not as simple as ranking, which made things worse. Which I think is what GP was referring to.
