Cool party, guys.
So that website you linked used whatever this is to justify SEO's existance:

quote:

Imagine you posted online a picture of your family dog. A human might describe it as "a black, medium-sized dog, looks like a Lab, playing fetch in the park." On the other hand, the best search engine in the world would struggle to understand the photo at anywhere near that level of sophistication. How do you make a search engine understand a photograph? Fortunately, SEO allows webmasters to provide clues that the engines can use to understand content. In fact, adding proper structure to your content is essential to SEO.
Can you translate this into something sensible? It seems like the author is saying search engines have no way of knowing what content is on a website, which seems like an outright lie.

E: I get if someone's website is an complete mess created by someone they hired off the forums, but there has to be a more elegant way to detail what's on a website other than loading it full of a bunch of barely-relevant whitetext.
