Study finds "search engines seem to lose the cat-and-mouse game that is SEO spam."

I guess we all kinda knew that, but it’s always nice to have a study backing your opinions.

    You may have changed my life with kagi. It is amazing so far at giving the results I want, and categorizing stuff like discussions so you don’t have to add “Reddit” at the end of every search to get decent results.

      And you can easily block or boost sites in the search results: I’ve got all pinterest domains blocked, along with a bunch of “news” outlets that don’t actually produce anything good in the world.

      Similarly I have stuff like reddit, hackernews etc boosted in the results if they match.

      I did the free trial for a while and only used Kagi for a while, still going strong with the $5 300 searches per month tier. I don’t really need to search that much because the results are usually correct the first time :)

        Yep. I’m 100% sold on it. Thank you very much kind human. It’s crazy how used to Google I had become. Not thinking about features which would be helpful like simply raising/lowering a sites visibility. It even has done well for me when it comes to local searches! Truly a game changer.
