Why does Google give SEO advice?



Why Google supports SEO specialists with advice? Google business is to sell text ads / ad space so bad optimized web sites are the target of Google, aren’t they? With giving good SEO advice Google works against its business or it’s not true?

  1. If Google were to push every website down so they would have to buy ads, would people continue using Google when there are other choices? No, I think that at least part of the reason why Google offers so much free advice and free tools, is that they received so many complaints from Internet users over the years that they pretty much had to take some sort of action.

  2. Google has its own reasons for giving SEO advice. They do want users to be able to find great sites in their results, but they also want to stop people from using Black Hat tactics to beat their way to the top of the search algorithms. So people can't trust everything Google says.

  3. Now a days google is puttting lots of ads on google.com home page, and the organic results are given second preference. Why will people click on the organic results when they see the websites on top ( Advertisers).

  4. Thank you, Matt!

    I'm a SEO specialist and I dont' think SEO is bad, I love it – the way it makes web-site more 'understandable' to search egines.

    I just wandered what the vision of Google is. Thank you.

    I really like the answers you make the users – always useful and always friendly!

    All the best!

  5. I keep thinking that good, unique content will make my website rise to the top as Google says, however, my competition (who spams irrelevant blog comments) are DOMINATING my seo. I'm press releasing, videos, article submission. Nope. Blog comments are way more powerful.

  6. Or simply google wants to "teach us" SEO so people who search with google find what they want. If a user search for something and google return non related results they wont use it. So Google Needs US and WE need Google.

    That is how i see it.

  7. Let's not forget that the number of sites that can "rank well" is a constant! So it is imposible this number to increase. It will be just other sites investing in ads. So Google has nothing to lose.
