Google macht es sich selber – TheMarkup hat Google mit 15.000 populäre Suchbegriffen gefüttert und dabei festgestellt, dass 41% der Suchergebnisse auf der ersten Seite Google-eigene sind ↦

We examined more than 15,000 recent popular queries and found that Google devoted 41 percent of the first page of search results on mobile devices to its own properties and what it calls “direct answers,” which are populated with information copied from other sources, sometimes without their knowledge or consent.

When we examined the top 15 percent of the page, the equivalent of the first screen on an iPhone X, that figure jumped to 63 percent. For one in five searches in our sample, links to external websites did not appear on the first screen at all.

Ab wann machen wir gar keine Optimierungen mehr für Menschen sondern nur noch für den Inzest-Walled-Garden namens Google?
