If you choose to throw yourself on a public forum doing PR for a company doing dumb things and you also insult everyone's intelligence by lying to them, people are gonna be a little rude


"choose to throw yourself"

"a company doing dumb things"

"insult everyone's intelligence"

"lying to them"

That's a little hyperbolic, don't you think? Do you even hear yourself? I fully understand Google hate but directing it at one person who is literally just doing their job (and hasn't lied to anyone despite your allegation) is childish and counterproductive. Save that for Twitter.

Danny has been here since 2008. Your account was created in 2022.

And also, "people" aren't being rude, you are. Own your actions.


No, I'm not being hyperbolic. There is one reason for the SEO algorithm to reward longer articles, and that's ad revenue. To paint it as anything else is lying. And you opened up this conversation extremely rudely with "OMG are you so dumb you think he owns Google."

How long I've been here is irrelevant.


>you opened up this conversation extremely rudely

That wasn't me. Maybe pay closer attention?

>reward longer articles

The age of articles was being discussed, not article length. Maybe pay closer attention?

Actually... you know what, never mind.


The age of the articles was discussed in the original article, but when I was speaking to this engineer, I was talking about the length of articles which is the main criticism levied against Google SEO. I'm aware you didn't read any of it


I followed the thread just fine. You accused me of being rude (it was someone else) and also accused the other commenter of lying. Neither of which are true.

You did that, not me. It's you who seem to be having a problem with understanding the thread.
