| > The root cause of all this madness: > Ads. > As long as there is even a marginal financial incentive to get human eyeballs on websites (as opposed to the viewers actually playing for services or, you know, just hosting websites for free because they are cool), this will keep getting worse. Search will only get worse for google users, not for google or google customers. Google can easily produce only quality search results, by penalising a result by the number of ads it serves. They don't do this. They can identify the SEO people and companies, and heavily penalise their clients. They don't do this either. They can, because you're logged in, allow you to maintain a blacklist. They don't. Trust me, for google this is an easy problem to solve; it's just that, for google, this is not a problem, but works as intended behaviour. |
