SEO is so broken, it's not about website content or website quality. It's about how much money you pay to some punks - "SEO experts" who are hacking a system. I'm so sick of that.

That's why for certain things Google is useless. Have to add certain keywords to avoid the SEO content to get comparisons, reviews, forums.

One day Google may introduce multiple search rankings, where one of them is SEO and another is the "useful things". But I don't hold my breath.

It's also so frustrating to get results for websites which present themselves in the search results with "Results for <your query>"...only to show "no results found" when you actually click on them.

Good thing /etc/hosts has no size limit.
