Just curious Classics… what is your website?
Good question Blackhawk I have wondered the same thing….
As far as I am concerned we are mincing words between Filter and Algorythem. In either case, or by either term, a very significant number of quality sites with relevant content have been excluded from the SERPs. That is not progress in my eyes.
I really dont think that “real” searchers consider tons of free sites with little value or endless Amazon listings as relevant and desirable.
