How Early SEO Corrupted Search Engines
Overview
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) emerged in the mid-1990s as the first search engines began indexing the web. Initially, the process was straightforward and accurately represented online content. Websites were submitted, crawlers indexed the content, and stored information in accessible databases for search users.
Early Methods
When spiders detected new content, they downloaded the page to the search engine's server. There, an indexer would extract information and links, placing the page in a repository for future crawling.
Initially, search algorithms relied on webmasters to provide honest information through keyword meta tags and index files like those in ALIWEB. These meta-tags guided search engines about each page's content.
Corruption in SEO
Challenges arose when webmasters started exploiting meta tags by incorporating unrelated keywords. This manipulation led to inflated page impressions and increased ad revenue via pay-per-click and cost-per-impression models. Consequently, users often encountered misleading or irrelevant search results.
Evolution of Search Algorithms
In response, search engines developed more sophisticated algorithms to counteract these dishonest practices. This evolution has significantly complicated the understanding of SEO and continues to do so.
By refining algorithms, search engines strive to deliver accurate and relevant results, but the constant battle with manipulation has made mastering SEO more challenging than ever.
