Real world internet search engine test

The sum of relevancy

Top of serp = lots of backlinks and high PR right?
Nothing is more annoying than widespread misinformation. There is nothing wrong with being wrong as long as an opinion is stated as opinion or theory but when so many spout the words “expert” and “I’ve been in this for years” along side their unresearched paraphrasing and ego’s, I get a bit […]
