While the question was obviously span and we will ignore the ad-ridden malware that the person was trying to push … I have a question …
Has anyone else noticed that some google results are actually a pile of cack that an 8-year-old child could glance at and automatically discard 50% of them.
Now don’t get me wrong – I use google as my search engine of choice … but some of the results presented on the forst couple of pages for a lot of basic terms are SOOO far away from being good quaility.
Google have smart people, smart algorythms, a lot of smart, so why are their results so often wide of the mark?
My gut feel is it is due to their insistance of weighting old stuff ahead of new stuff. So junky old domains that are not maintained rate highly. Crappy forum posts (like this one) :woo-hoo: gain extra relevance after they’ve been around a couple of years.
Oddly, I benefit from that bias – my site has been going 6 years now – but sometime it looks like half the google results I get have been chosen by a dyslexic drunk after a hard night on the turps …
:crazy:
Or is that just my opinion …
