      If you put a recipe on your webpage Google will ignore that shit. Butter and eggs? So few words, many numbers. Boring.

      So you have to add a narrative if you want search engines to pay any attention, or even count the page as content.

      Google could just fix this, but no, we’ve all adjusted to it.

        I had no idea it was about too few words. I always thought it was that they add all that fluff to maximize their advertising revenue, making you scroll and scroll through a story before you find the recipe. Seems like either way, it’s thanks to Google….

          Maybe originally a couple decades ago, but every food blog template added a “jump to recipe” button pretty shortly after those started to be a thing.
