My thought was that when people are looking for a recipe for apple pie, they aren't going to their favorite recipe website and searching for apple pie. They are going to google and typing in "apple pie recipe". Whatever site is on top is the one they go to. SEO wins out over a quality site a user wants to go back to. I'm pretty sure my dad has actually talked up a new dish he made for the holidays by saying it was the #1 result on Google for whatever the dish was. He equated being the top result with highest quality and best tasting. This is my theory anyway, based on how I see people doing stuff these days. I don't have any hard data on this. Without SEO, back in the era of bookmarks, I think people would bookmark sites they enjoyed using and wanted to come back to. If the site was hard to use and littered with ads, it wouldn't get bookmarked and get a repeat visit. At least that's how I did it. Maybe I'm not normal in that respect. |
