Some time ago, google seemed to start really favouring corporate content.
It used to ensure most searches would have a few blog results, a wiki link, some large corps, some small corps, but that’s fallen apart.
I know this for the wrong reasons. I used to publish pages for my bank’s phone numbers because… I’d just publish their phone numbers.
While this is kinda a bad idea, now searches will give you 10 links to the bank’s own website and they make it difficult to find a number because they don’t want you to call them.
