Well, they don’t. I have been doing a lot of research online over the last 6 months or so. All kinds of topics related to building, materials, tools, laws and regulations, furniture, appliances and, and, and.
Google has proven to be pretty crappy and I don’t know for the life of me how a lot of the results get in there.
Google has been an exercise in frustration. And the bigger the web, the worse its going to get. Indexing the entire web is going to be more and more taxing.
I would like to see a true “elite search”, with hand picked listings and quality control.
And, while I generally agree with Gooner’s business thinking, I do have to say that copied content should not rank above original content, period.
