Google has limits. Expect them to change
Google has limits. Expect them to change, or be modified. The more you spam elements of your page or link profile, the more Google’s algorithms go to work to “disregard the advantage you figure out, so you fall back where you started“. The more you take optimisation to the nth degree, the more susceptible you are to algorithm changes when things change. If you are consistently and successfully abusing the system, and are caught, Google algorithms will flag your site for manual review, and a potential penalty called a “manual action”, where you will need to clean up the offending issues before you can rank high again. But mostly, Google prefers to just ignore and devalue your spammier SEO efforts, as long as they are not too malicious. You do not want to “chase the Google algorithm”. Focus on making something useful that attracts high quality links to it instead It makes sense that this process of labeling is how you create a Search Engine Results Page out of pages Pagerank (or something akin to it) identifies, identify spam, identify monetisation trends and promote content first pages and user friendly content above others. You can also imagine that over time, Google should get a lot better at working out quality SERPs for its users, as it identifies more and more NEGATIVE ranking signals, thereby floating higher quality pages to the top as a second order effect. A end-result of this could be that Google gets an amazing SERP for its users. Google might have labels for EVERYTHING from low quality, spam, intent, site speed, ad placement, ymyl page, information page etc and as they build out scoring principles and sub-labels for each label. In one example, they might decide not to show any affiliate sites on page 1, for instance, or only 1. All the above is speculation, of course. What can be agreed upon is that we do not want a LOW QUALITY label on our pages OR links, either appointed by algorithm OR manual rater.
