An aeon ago, we all searched the Web with Yahoo, Excite, Altavista and others. The results, helpful at first, deteriorated over time. If a user searched for, say, “Viagra”, search engines decided that the best results were pages that contained the word “Viagra” as many times as possible. Naturally, spammers created pages stuffed with fake keywords to lure in the innocent. And results became increasingly crowded with unwanted stuff.
