Nature News removed from Google for SEO not fake news reasons
…but that still doesn’t mean it’s legitimate news
The second half of the post linked below is a good summary of ample reasons that may have caused Google to delist Natural News, and they have nothing to do with it being fake news.

I do take issue with a few assertions of the author, however, before he gets to the SEO issues.
This part of his post is just poor thinking:
… I think it is important for both sides of an argument to have a voice so we can draw our own conclusions. With the consolidation of news outlets, their political bias has grown far too large, in my opinion. Much of the manipulation by major outlets was well documented in the primary and the DNC hacks/leaks. Independent news sites are important to maintaining one of the greatest gifts provided by the Internet: transparency.
1) It is a fallacy that “there are always two sides to an issue and both sides equally deserve to be heard.”
2) Nature News is not “independent news” just because it has the word “news” in its name. Pseudoscience and quackery combined with con-artistry (pushing sales of the alternative products your “news” backs) is not news.
