Re:Can Google Detect AI-Generated Content? on Tuesday February 07, 2023 @11:18AM (#34694695)
In the long-run it's nearly certain it will be impossible for Google to detect whether content was written by AI or not.

Hey folks, CEO/Founder of Contentedge here - you have it totally wrong. :)

It seems like you equate SEO with blogspam, which is just false!

We help businesses create more useful content and get it to the right people. Google is the gateway to the internet. I don’t view it as gaming the system; we’re trying to empower smaller businesses and writers to get found.

Give Contentedge a try and see if we're just building a spam machine like you contend! (no credit card required) https://secure.contentedge.com/users/signup/free

Re:Could Apple's search engine beat Google? on Wednesday December 01, 2021 @10:03AM (#29404266)
If any company poses a credible threat to Google's monopoly on search, it's surely Apple, IMO.

I think after the underwhelming launch of Apple Maps, a lot of people don't think Apple could make a truly great search product, but Apple Maps quietly has gotten pretty good and Apple has the resources and data to actually compete in search.

Re:Can TikTok beat YouTube at its own game (SEO)? on Wednesday September 23, 2020 @11:47AM (#24568409)
The tl;dr summary of this post is questioning whether or not it's even possible for TikTok to rank higher in Google than YouTube. People are searching for TikTok influencers on Google, including the branded term "tiktok" in the query and all the top search results are YouTube links. This is a real problem when people can search for your brand and Google can show their own properties ahead of you. That being said, TiKTok has still managed to make some impressive strides with SEO growth over the past 6 months that is worth calling out.
Re:The case for why Google should be regulated as a public utility on Tuesday August 11, 2020 @11:50AM (#24121675)
1. There needs to be guidelines for what Google can and can't do with search.

Ex: Only 25% of the screen real estate can go to Google-owned ad products for allowing it to continue as a monopoly.

2. YouTube should possibly be broken out as a separate company and it shouldn't get favorable placement and treatment in search results

3. Businesses need to have more control over how their businesses appear when users search for them directly
