@Goog_Enough Just doing some basic Googling, and his LinkedIn looks like he worked at NerdWallet, and then his next job was at Three Ships. Am I missing something nefarious here?
@Goog_Enough I'm sure you and any reasonable SEO would agree that this UK phone shopping journey on a subdomain with almost no content was not created to rank on Google : )
You are right that it should be noindex though, and we'll make that update.
@gaganghotra_@Goog_Enough I'm not sure why Robin was listed as a contributor on that snapshot, but as you surely saw on the Wayback Machine, Robin has been listed as staff going back 5 years.
@Goog_Enough In this case the article was rewritten by in-house staff starting from a blank page. Anyone who looks it up in https://t.co/tmODpB2SpV can see that it has not simply been paraphrased. Readers can find that article here: https://t.co/M8eF1I6o0p
@Goog_Enough Our data & methodology has always been done internally, and was updated as it often is during the year. The PoS space isn't known to be a dynamic one and it makes sense that the ranking didn't change much. Are you suggesting we should change the rankings just to look different?
@Goog_Enough@gaganghotra_ And to be clear the examples above are the edge cases and are not representative of a vast majority of content on Forbes Advisor.
What would your guidance be in the above scenarios?
@Goog_Enough@gaganghotra_ We did our level best to make fair judgement calls in every edge case, including noindexing thousands of pages from hundreds of freelance authors that was 100% policy compliant when it was written.
Sunday Scaries is spine-tingling microfiction written by my friend Pat Harrigan. They are short enough that you have time to read one right now: https://t.co/PK36a099sE

@RobOusbey@randfish@Distilled I'm not sure the fact that you can go from knowing nothing about SEO to running the agency is a selling point for agencies, or SEO for that matter.
