Google and blogs: “Shit.”

• lazyant 11y ago
  I've had a blog since 1999 and it was the #1 google result for my name, now it's at the bottom of the first page and the first results are from people sharing the name from IMDB, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

    By design. Plus recall google got slapped for highlighting blogs with their own adwords service attached.

      I know they are doing it on purpose although it doesn't seem like a good algorithm to me. (Also I never had any ads on my blog).

  > Everyone’s spending increasingly more consumption time dicking around in apps and snacking on bite-sized social content instead of browsing websites and searching Google. True, but Google makes it very hard to find interesting websites. Search for just about any given topic and finding a website from an enthusiast and not a corporate entity is like searching for a needle in a haystack. The indie web might exist but it's buried under a pile of SEO garbage.
