The beginning of the end of organic search?
Richard Hearne originally shared:
Google is killing organic search. In fact you could argue that Goole isn`t an organic search engine any more. Those days of organic search results are now over.
It`s frightening to see how Google has gone from having a goal of getting searchers to an external endpoint as fast as possible to one where keeping searchers interacting with Google content is the primary consideration.
To any webmaster who still views Google as a partner - you need to wake up and see the world for what it is: Google does not care about content/website owners. Google does not care about what is best for searchers. Google cares about Google.
I still hope that content owners will revolt some day, and that large portions of the public web will become disallowed to Googlebot. That`s the only way I see content and site owners reclaiming the web. I live in hope.
