Either you haven't read the article or are being disingenuous about it "Why do these stories keep showing up? Well, they’re not exactly the same stories. These sites are so shitty and unpopular that the stories would drop off almost immediately if left to their own devices. So the sites must continually update/rewrite/tweak/republish again and again so the Google algorithm thinks they’re new. (Google also prioritizes newness.) And look: James Clapper’s testimony was weeks ago, yet these articles read like they’re breaking a new story. And they’re only a few hours old. The Post and the Times, however, aren’t spending their resources on this stuff. They have responsibilities to keep up with the real news. And so do we, as citizens. But these psycho-dipshit crawlspaces don’t have that burden, and they’re betting you don’t want it, either."
Seriously, read the original linked article instead of making a fool of yourself. The issue is low ranking sites who are continually editing their stories to fool Google into thinking that there is new content which results in those garbage sites being linked higher. And this is being done on many sites in a coordinated manner, that's the 'conspiracy'. If you have evidence that liberal sites are doing the same, I am all ears for it
Exactly! Internet marketing. Google's algo is not that stupid. It is not easily manipulated. You have no idea what you are talking about. You are embarrassing yourself. You and the author of article are complaining that websites in which post opinions you don't agree with are engaged in internet marketing. Here is a summary of the article: I use to work at a company that engaged in internet marketing. Trump is engaged in internet marketing and so are several conservative websites. What they are failing to mention is that is exactly what Obama did as well as all of the liberal websites on the web.
So there is also a conspiracy of liberal websites engage in an evil internet marketing coordinated conspiracy because they are doing the exact same thing. Just changing the wording of an article a little does not trick Google's algo. Go read about Google's algo.
First, thanks for admitting that Trump and his political team is engaged in this - that's all the article was saying. Second, nobody said google algo is 'that stupid' or can be 'easily manipulated' - the link showed that it has been, nobody is guessing on their 'effort' here, they may very well be spending millions.
Show me the evidence then of liberal sites showing the same pattern, you keep claiming it but provide no evidence. Your screenshot only showed LATEST results, the conservative manipulation is on topics that are days older but they keep editing it in a way to get linked higher - that's the conspiracy. Now show me where liberals are doing the same. I will wait.
Yeah, the Harvard study I posted stated that Obama's team was engaged in internet marketing and it is one of the primary reasons he won the election against McCain. Of course he is, it is the 21st century. There is this thing called the internet.
I am done with you. This is beyond ridiculous. Some article you read stated that Trump is engaged in internet marketing and there is a conspiracy and it is evil. You just want to believe what you want to believe there is no changing your mind. EVEN THOUGH IT IS JUST COMMON SENSE. AN ELEMENTARY STUDENT UNDERSTANDS INTERNET MARKETING. I have provided more than enough proof. However, proof is not needed. It is called internet marketing. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER PRESIDENT THE DOESN'T ENGAGE IN INTERNET MARKETING. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WILL DO IT BECAUSE IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY WITHOUT ENGAGING IN INTERNET MARKETING. OBAMA WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY THAT USED INTERNET MARKETING TO GET ELECTED
Why don't you seem to understand the point that the Trump team is MARKETING news - they are 'internet marketing' news that suits their political agenda - that's the issue here and not that they are engaging in IT. Which other President has engaged in INTERNET MARKETING OF NEWS Do you not understand the difference between internet marketing YOUR BRAND/CAMPAIGN vs internet marketing NEWS????????????
No other President ever created news worth marketing. Republicans create news while democrats wait in line to be fed news. On November 8, an overwhelming majority of hard working Americans voted for a president who would start making things in America again, starting with the news. Even Trumps most vile and dispicable lying enemies are benefiting from the news boon his administration created even before he was sworn into office. And unlike his old fashioned predecessors, the Trump team and new young republicans are on the cutting edge of internet technology extracting every last bit of useless information and turning it into a high value commodity which can be marketed and sold to an information starved public. And now even democrats are asking, Is there anything he can't do? On the international front, Russia a long time thorn in the flesh of a weak democrat president has been subdued to the point where they are even colluding with U.S. officials to help them achieve the republican goal of making America great again. In the words of one anonymous Russian official close to Putin, "We give up, this guy is nothing like Obama, We just don't want to get on his bad side." What's good for America is good enough for us, many Russians are saying. (this article available on the internet, just type in anything and it will show up at the top of the list)
