Three things might come into play here: 1. AFAIK Google ranks pages (amongst other metrics) by how "fresh" they are. A date given on a web page might count as a measure of "freshness" so it would be good SEO practice to eliminate the date. 2. Google can measure how good its search results are by simply tracking the click-through. So, assuming search term "t" can lead to older results (technology ten years ago) or newer results (technology now), Google can refine results for the term by looking at the click-through rates. And if most of your fellow searchers look for newer tech, you looking for the older stuff might be marginalized. 3. With tracking being as sophisticated as it is, you might simply be in the wrong "cohort". If that's the case, you might try to alter what google knows about you by looking until you find the results relevant to you and then clicking on them. Even if that means going to page 10 of the results. |
