I believe results are heavily weighted on the votes people submit these days

Bottom of the first page for me.
I've noticed that Google's quality has declined over the past couple of years. From time to time I try to use a different search engine, but they all seem worse than Google. Maybe searching has just become more difficult.
The web is simply more filled with spam websites, aggregators, etc.Indeed they are. Love it or hate it but bitcointalk does deserve a spot on the first page of search results for "bitcoin". Too bad that G was driven insane recently by SEO guys. According to SEO people advising me the latest iteration of G algo makes no sense whatsoever, quality of SERP's is very bad. G basically brings random low quality websites on top while burying hiqh quality authority websites. G reportedly slowly comes back to its senses after the last update but not by much so far. Too bad that they have sacrificed search results relevance in favor of hell knows what.
One suggestion I heard is that they make more money on ads by having worse search results quality and thus pushing people to click on paid ads (that are suddenly more relevant than natural search) and by making people click on pages 2 3 4 etc... in search of something relevant.

Yes, them providing low quality result is the reason everyone use them, you are correct.

Makes sense if Google needs money quickly, but in the long term users will use other search engines…
bitcointalk.org is somewhere in the middle of page 2 for me (in Austria).
