Just goes to show you how far behind the SEO scammers Google is. Despite being bigger and wealthier Google simply can’t catch the more nimble SEO scammers

I'm pretty sure Google is milking them now by just selling ad words, they no longer care about the search results, just how much money they make

What you are saying sounds like hyperbole, but all it takes is for the management within google to blindly chase metrics and they end up doing exactly that.

I mean that is exactly what each and every Google team does. There is no decision being made without having the data "supporting" it.

But every graph can be shown nicely and things which are common sense don't need a metric to proof it.
