		fulldecent2 on May 12, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Scraping Recipe Websites I saw all the terrible SEOd recipe websites and my first thought was: I should make a better recipe website that is simpler and is better SEOd. --- FIRST EXAMPLE: How to cook chicken on a skillet Step 1 -- get this much chicken [picture] Step 2 -- cook on skillet for 5 minutes OPTIONAL -- here are seasonings you may add [pictures] RELATED: - How to cook a lot of chicken on a skillet [LINK] - How to fry chicken breast [LINK] --- But then I didn't understand how any of these websites are making money so I didn't do it.

The reason all of these websites are so terrible with the long winded intro-stories is precisely because they do better with SEO.

Only if the page is low quality.

Leaving a low quality page after 60 seconds is way better than leaving a low quality page after 5 seconds.
