i can’t remember the last time i tried to research a product and the first page of google results wasn’t entirely garbage like seo affiliate marketing blogs or tech “news”

similarly programming questions are as likely to get pages of seo-heavy poo poo like geeksforgeeks or w/e as they are to find useful stackoverflow answers or (god forbid) the actual documentation that explains the thing perfectly well

google is poo poo, the seo industry won and they don’t even care

same. i am also sick of sites that are either machine generated or written by some content farm employee that doesn't understand the language and takes 500 words to say a ten word sentence. as far as i can tell, basically all sites purporting to be about a general topic (dog training, hair care, whatever) are this way

why is google so bad at punishing blatant seo?

in this post I will reveal why google is bad at punishing blatant seo

we’ve all been there. you search for a thing on google and all the hits seem to be blatant seo sites that waffle on endlessly about your search keywords. but what not many people know is that this is a result of google being bad at punishing blatant seo. why is that? the reason may surprise you

first let’s answer the most fundamental question: what is search?

i just searched for the exact name, in chinese, of a local japanese restaurant in my neighborhood. apple maps helpfully zoomed me over to a mountain with a different name that’s a homonym of the restaurant i searched, but very clearly not the same name or chinese characters. the mountain is 150km away and in a different city, so it updated my search area to this new city until i manually pulled it back to my location

apple just rolling over and giving in to anti-japanese sentiments eh

god google maps sucks rear end these days tho. no gently caress you I don’t want to ~explore the neighborhood~ I want to see a loving map without your lovely cruft covering half the screen
