Users perceive a brand to have more authority if it ranks on page 1 at the top with an ad.

That being said that is a rare thing for an SEO to recommend and I think he might be saying that Ads help you rank -- which is a complete untruth. Ads CANNOT help you rank.

No it doesn't it has nothing to do with that. However, if you think an article should be a paragraph long then you probably didn't have anything worth creating the page for anyway.

Plenty of ecommerce sites ranks with very little text on their pages. What you are saying is just wrong.

BTW I see a lot of -- Google does not give me back what I ask for when I type is X -- and that is true.

That is NOT because of SEO however. That is their use of AI in language interpretation and how it is being used in algorithms, which really, well sucks.

If you want them to get better go to Twitter and tell them how irrelevant they have become or how much you hate the ads or all the featured spaces - because you know what SEOS have been telling them for a long time, but they ignore us.

If regular users started telling them? They might listen. _________ But this post? It is bovine feces.

This post is just flat out wrong.

We are not using tricks when we tell you to create content. We are telling you what Google considers quality.

Tricks are for blackhats and they can work and there is nothing wrong with that, but what you are talking bout is actual white hat SEO that Google demands from sites to be considered quality enough to rank.

And the "it's easy" garbage.

Go ahead. Let us know how easy it is when you are done doing it by yourself.

This post is full of bovine feces.
