tbh, I was sceptic about this "experiment", but I didn't lose anything, so I tried... got some hive upvotes, so I didn't do it for nothing.. and this website ranking was just a PLUS...
And I also dislike there "rules" for writing stuff... The final goal for ALL Search engines is to find original NATURAL content... not those that are written in some "rules", and inside the box...
I didn't try to fit in any rules (as I don't know them at all), so the result is even more surprising... lol...
I have tried to study these rules when I was writing the website for my business. Google actually wants us to write natural content and the algorithm favourises such content. The only thing it made me do was to use more subtitles and naming photos and videos.
Yeah... I was doing those things also... renaming photos, adding that "image description", etc... :)
