This has been making waves in the SEO world. I was always more surprised that people honestly believed Google wasn't manipulating results. In the political realm it was treated as tinfoil hat territory.
- iamacyborg 2y agoHow do you rank pages without “manipulating” the ranking?
- rgrieselhuber 2y agoWell, yes, but there was a presumption of fairness (insert definition here) in pure ranking of content based on quality, backlinks, etc. that sort of thing. Personally I never believed it but it was a pervading belief.
- wnevets 2y ago> pure ranking of content based on quality, backlinks, etc. that sort of thing. Wasn't that system being heavily exploited by link farms and the rest?
- rgrieselhuber 2y agoAlways
- iamacyborg 2y agoWhat does fairness mean in this context though? Fairness to whom and by what measure of the term?
- rgrieselhuber 2y agoThat is the question, which is why I said insert definition here.

- jeltz 2y agoMaybe I am part of a different SEO world but everyone I know assumed this to be the case.
- rgrieselhuber 2y agoYeah just depends on who you’re talking to. There are various cliques out there.
