Should a presidential candidate have to be skilled at SEO to get their site listed first for their name? Or should Google's algorithm be the skilled one?


> Should a [X] have to be skilled at SEO to get their site listed first for their name?

Yes. The internet should work the same for everyone, whether they are running for president or are merely John Q. Citizen.


The point is that Google is supposed to return the result people want for a given search result, not the result that has the best SEO. This big picture gets lost sometimes.


When it's competing against a completely legitimate neologism?

Certainly.
