I look forward to Google being forced to down rank any sites with “reddit” in the H1.
What an odd phrase
I’ve spent a lot of time working in SEO.
Search results like this can drive people away from Google and toward other resources. Google likes money, and this is why they usually try to combat spammers that are gaming the system.
It’s a cat and mouse game that has been happening for years. Organic search spammers find a new thing, then Google tweaks the algorithm to downrank what they’re exploiting.
Well google does a horrible job at combating it
No doubt. That said, they do update the algo to combat this stuff. If you work in SEO you’re likely quite aware of what tricks currently work and no longer work.
