0nekoneko7HUGE Google Search document leak reveals inner workings of ranking algorithm
jobbyBetter than the wanking algorithm, that’s for sure.
tsonfeirTell me more about this wanking algorithm? Can you do it with a friend?
Onanism my friend. Puttin’ the rhythm into algorithm.
Old news, and two similar posts by OP in this community. So take my downvote
From what I had read it did not actually reveal the algorithm details.
Headline goes CRAZY, is INACCURATE for CLICKS
All it really details are the things Google gathers from sites. Potential data to be used in the algorithm, but just because they are gathered does not mean they are all used.
BertramDitoreBut it did expose all the lies google has been telling about SEO and how it works with their algorithm. Basically all the times google was asked “so are you sure you don’t do x, y, or z to prioritize certain sites?” They said no, emphatically, despite some very clever folks who had a pretty good idea of how things were working based on independent tests and experiments on SEO. So google was lying all along, while trying to convince the experts that what they were seeing wasn’t real. Pretty despicable if you ask me.
Pretty despicable if you ask me.
Despicable to lie to people whose entire jobs are to artificially raise the appearance of certain results, not based on what the user wants, but based on how much the site wants to be seen? People who primarily serve to turn search results into defacto ads by getting their clients to the top? People whose entire jobs are effectively about the most effective way to mislead people onto garbage websites?
“Search engine optimization” is a bullshit name for an industry that fundamentally undermines search engines. Google is no saint but the whole SEO industry can take their indignation about this and blow it out their ass.
You’re totally right about the SEO industry. My comment wasn’t meant as an endorsement of SEO, I agree it’s one of the internet’s most fundamental problems. I’m just so frustrated by how consistently google lies about these things. Their first impulse, in so many different situations, is to immediately tell a bald-faced lie, then double down on the lie, and then when the truth comes out, they somehow always seem to get a pass. That’s what’s despicable to me.
Its no different than them declining to answer if asked what their secrets are.
Do you really think that if someone manages to ask a question in a very specific wording that they would be forced to give a straight answer?
☂️-seo is gonna get crazy, google is gonna get terrible
Going to get?
This video is a pretty good summary of what was actually released instead of this clickbait article:
Google's secret algorithm exposed via leak to GitHub…
Google has an algorithm? I thought it’s all ads by now, considering how hard it is to find anything on google anymore
AnUnusualRelicForeach x in (ads) print x
It’s an algorithm, kinda.
they have these notifications where they send you an article or sometimes video you might be interested in… it’s a notification ad, basically, or at least functions as one.
95% of the time it’s clickbait or AI drivel anyway but at least when you tapped on it, it would open a somewhat related Google search and the first “result” you would see would be the article you clicked on. unnecessary step but i got why they do it.
well now you don’t see it. because ads cover at least one entire screen’s worth of space, if not more, so you have to scroll way down to see the thing you clicked on. unbelievable that they essentially show ads in front of ads.
