Those priceonomics guys really care for their SEO. They are one of the few websites that writes totally unrelated articles to sell a product.

I kind of feel used when I see them pop up.

I work at Priceonomics, so maybe I can shed light on our motivations.

We make the kind of content we love and we sell products so that we can afford to make more of that content. The two products we actually sell (data crawling for companies and books for people) aren't particularly well-suited toward SEO (though our original idea, a Price Guide which we killed years ago, was).

Anyhow, we're a content site that's trying to get by without using ads. I think most of our regular readers appreciate we're trying to pay the bills by selling things instead using ads. We'd like to avoid jamming our site with advertising if that's possible.

Happy to answer any questions you have.

I miss the price guide :-)

If the content is good, who cares?

The people who search for a product, and get get results ranked based on irrelevant blogging.

You mean priceonomics' product isn't their blog? ;-)
