A few days ago Google announced a major change to its algorithm for website ranking, designed to ensure that search results would put quality sites near the top of the ranking. Apparently, there are many websites out there where the content is not insightful, does not offer anything new, and is only very obvious information built around specific keyword phrases.
Of course, where there is stupidity, satire is sure to follow, and indeed there are two sites I’ve come across that really stick it to the useless content sites and Twitter.
The first site, which pokes fun at the useless content sites, is called The Content Farm. Some of my favorite articles: How To Know What Leaves Are Made Of, How To Tie Your Shoes, and How To Have A Good Day.
The second site, which satirizes, Twitter, is called FakeAP Stylebook. The URL is http://twitter.com/fakeapstylebook, and you can find such wisdom as “Conjunction Junction – The intersection of two eye infections. Rinse with saline solution and see your ophthalmologist.”
Enjoy.
