Months after Google’s BigDaddy, it finally looks like search results are starting to come around. What I mean by coming around is that the results are looking more relevant.

For the last few months a number of sites were showing up for competitive keyword phrases that, in my opinion, didn’t deserve to be there. More of these site’s backlinks were from random sites that were not relevent to the keyword phrase being targeted. It made me really wonder about all that talk from Google about getting relevant backlinks, or linking for your user’s benefit. It looked more to me like Google didn’t care about anything except shear quantity of one way links.

But now, after four of five months, it finally looks like Google is concentrating on relevancy. The results are looking better to me.
