You might feel differently if are in business. Social media indicators are a large part of googles algorithm to decide which web sites should receive higher rankings in their search results.
Higher search result position results in more search traffic means more eyeballs on your offers equals more income from your website.
And that is fkn sad also. I want to send an email to my mate without gmail picking up on key words and doing targeted advertising all over my browser.
Why should
business yeild to the desires of the
webmaster? Traditionally (and rightly so) the business owner seeks and pays for advertising, not the other way around whereby now the business owner is tempted to do underhanded sh!t to get listed higher on google.
Wonder why we get spammed on forums? Why FB and others sell info to anyone they can make a buck from?
If business in general revolted, the web would soon change. But unfortunatley they can't do that en masse, so it is here to stay. Trying to get ficticious results and reviews so google lists them higher.
Contrast Seabreeze - highest on the list of results as it is heavily trafficked and popular, unlike many tangible goods out there.
It is interesting that since the time of Caesar (?) who implemented the Census 2000yrs ago, people have been annoyed about the Govt requesting their personal information every 3 - 5 yrs.
Now people voluntarily put all kinds of stuff up that enables targeted marketing crap, paedophiles find kids online and find them at school or sport or their street etc, if something happens to you and the media wanna run a story about it they have your pic etc etc
All because people's subconcious ego means they like to feel important, and having 1000 "friends" on FB, or people listening to their banal crap on Twitter, stokes the ego fire.
Boiling a frog peeps.
Y'all go for it.
are you reading the jehovahs tripe
but I'm holding out resolutely
