“Journalists and publishers of information about SEO and Google Search need to stop uncritically repeating Google’s public statements, and take a much harsher, more adversarial view of the search giant’s representatives,” Fishkin says. “When publications repeat Google’s claims as though they are fact, they’re helping Google spin a story that’s only useful to the company and not to practitioners, users, or the public.”
God I wish literally anyone in the tech press would listen to this.
YEAH. I have no sympathy for the SEO community but like, the fact that this whole leak just straight up proves that Google has been lying to everyone's face is delicious
I mean, those are two different things. Ranking is which big blue links show up on the search results page and in what order. Providing little chips linking to sub-pages of that site is a separate concern.
Like, obviously everything is fucked up, but this quote is trying to play a gotcha card that isn't actually there.
