    The real question is: why do people misunderstand SEO? No matter what technology you are going to use, people are going to want to optimize it. Like a store front will optimize for the street it’s in.

    A search engine crawls sites, ranks them based on keywords (and much more), and shows results based on a search quiry. No matter how it works, sites will find out how the system prioritizes A over B.

    Then there are the users. Stop asking Google/whatever questions. It’s a search engine, so it’ll show content that asks the same. When did we stop searching for keywords about a certain topic to find out?

    Sure, I’m lazy too. And ‘information pollution’ is a problem. But not SEO in and of itself.
