@lilyraynyc The only thing that should be shocking about this is how long it took to happen. It's been very obvious what Google has been doing the last several years, and this is simply a testament that (maybe) the Gov't is finally getting the hint!
@earphoria79@searchliaison@SeoRobertson@rustybrick@googlesearchc Which is just amazing, isn't it? You'll have an in-depth, absolutely amazing piece of content, and these knuckleheads will rank a pin in position #4 instead of that piece of content. No wonder they're losing search market share to Bing, DDG, etc. Users notice & act accordingly.
@lilyraynyc You should see what happens when you actually click on the result. Note the URL before you click, and then note the URL after you click. It's been happening for a LONG time, at least since Medic (Aug. 2018).
@orygunhbc @JasonDFW@sokane1 You didn't click on the results, did you...Note the URL listed in the results, then click the result and see what the URL says.
@garethaboyd Stop penalizing sites because a certain % of their content is deemed 'unhelpful'. If a site has 100 pages, and:
50 of them are pure trash
30 of them are so so in terms of quality
20 of them are excellent
Don't rank the 80 that suck, DO rank the 20 that are good.
@elonmusk@dannysullivan@searchliaison You guys really need to figure this out quick, or you're not going to be at the top of the search mountain for very longer.
Start by rolling things back to say, I don't know, like mid-2022.
@lilyraynyc@DataBoyd@searchliaison TBF, I reached out to @searchliaison years ago (Medic Aug. 2018) about poor results, bordering on dangerous. He replied the same, and thanked me for feedback. Here we are, 7 years later, and the results are STILL the same.
@randfish@dannysullivan I've been screaming about this from the mountain tops since Nov. 2018, to no avail.
I even posted a vid about it with actual searches in an incognito window, check it out: https://t.co/IYdHUOSP8u
@dannysullivan thanked me for the feedback and that was the last I heard of it...
@David_Philipps Here's a thought...release ALL of the videos in their totality, without any breaks or cuts, so people can make their own informed opinion.
@dannysullivan Is there anyway I can send you an email or DM? There's just so many examples I can send of poor search results, I'd rather not flood your twitter feed with all this junk.
@dannysullivan (2) Additionally, I'm still seeing MAJOR issues with 100's of searches. Not sure if you remember me, but I posted a vid on this over a year ago. Watch this video again and run the searches yourself if you don't believe me: https://t.co/i7ZPua3mM2
In many cases it's much worse.
@dannysullivan (1) I know I'm a bit late to the party, but serious question. Why do you guys keep making such drastic changes to the SE results? It just astounds me that a site can rank #1 - #3 for a search term 1 week, and then be on page 6 - 7 the next.
Google’s censorship of health-content websites is a bit disturbing, in my opinion - what do YOU think?: https://t.co/3U84AhL9NM and this is even worse: https://t.co/KnhJTzmWmN
Took another @HardonHelper today, and as usual, worked like a charm! For those that haven't seen it, check out my full review here (will be updating it soon with NEW info): https://t.co/xw0w2agqKj
