In Response To Google

Google has chosen to send a response to my article to Barry Schwartz of Search Engine Roundtable. Here is my response. (1) On the March 2019 core update claim in the piece: This is baseless speculation. The March 2019 core update was designed to improve the quality of our search

Google responded to Ed, Ed responds.

I’ve suggested the orange site changes the title to “In response to Google?” to keep up with latest practices around there. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40164393

      He really has been. His rants on the new podcast “Better Offline” are worth a listen.

    A conspiratorial, passive-aggressive fool in the YC comments is not making any claims, just saying that this might be a protection racket.

    Mildly interesting that the author runs a media relations company in SF. On the one hand, I am sympathetic to the general perspective of the original article.

    On the other hand, that the same person is writing “hit pieces” and running a media relations company bears a certain resemblance to protection rackets of yore

      Awfully suspicious that a journalist might actually want to make money once in awhile. Why, all the journalists I know love being destitute all the time, otherwise they wouldn’t be in the business (or lack thereof)!

        Journalists only work for exposure (to absolute madmen who call them fake news and try to find out where they and their children live)

      I love Ed, and he’s going to bring the receipts and make Google look like idiots. The downside is that Ed’s going to play it straight.

      What do I want to see? I want to see Google get in public fight with Robert Evans. That would be hilarous.

        if we get a BtB on Raghavan, that may well happen. Unfortunately I doubt he meets the bar to be a real bastard by their standards.

      If this chapter of tech drama were a video game, specifically a visual novel, and more specifically phoenix wright, this would be the part of the last trial where Google has smugly deigned to testify in person, confident they can easily deflect whatever comes at them during cross examination
