If Google is so concerned about its SERP’s…

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Then the Safari site wouldn’t have all the results on the first page of any search involving a tech question. It seems Safari does the tricky thing of allowing spiders to index the books on its site, but when you go there to find the information, you have to sign up for $40 a month to see it.

To me this is just as underhanded as any black hat spamming SEO out there. But Google doesn’t seem to care. If you go past these results for two or three pages, you finally find what you are looking for which is the free info.

Wake up Google. Your so above reproach authority sites are spamming the system and you don’t seem to give a crap.

I completely agree: underhanded tactics. This has struck me as particularly annoying for a long time. There’s quite a few sites out there that employ this trick. The end result is that I’ve started manually eliminating those sites from search results. It also reflects badly on Google since it is displaying “inaccurate” search results. Have you noticed that Google also does not cache these sites?

I didn’t go into it that far. I just was becoming really tired of searching for info on Filemaker and not finding much.
I noticed you’re currently reading Ayn Rand. Great book.
