Foner Books - Another Victim of the Google Update

"They have a computer algorithm pick phrases that people are using in search engines that they believe will monetize well," Rosenthal continued. "Then they have their hordes of contract writers (not all of whom are evil) write a page around that key phrase using a simple, Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 formula. Some of the results are not awful, but most are a complete waste of time, and some provide advice that simply won't work because the writer, who is rewriting what they found on a website like mine, doesn't understand enough about the subject to even do a 1,2,3 summary. I used to just ignore eHow in the results and never gave it a thought, but around a year ago, a couple friends started complaining to me that Google kept sending them to this eHow place that just wasted their time."
