create content for users, and not for search engines

Google has repeated its 20-year old advice about creating content for users, and not for search engines.

[developers.google.com...]

[twitter.com...]

Lol, they don't want people gaming the system ;)

This advice keeps g's content "fresh", and new fodder for the AI machines...

Maybe it worked 20 years ago.

This advice keeps g's content "fresh"

You mean, all I have to do is dredge up old material from 20 years ago and present it as brand-new? Who knew.

Or, in my case, material from 95+ years ago (1927 and earlier).

Yep, they've been giving that simple and obvious advice for 20+ years, and most site owners haven't been listening.

[lucy24]

Then again, if you've been ignoring G###'s advice for twenty years and your site is still alive and kicking, you probably don't need their advice.
