34 What the Engines Say… Google: “Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines.” Yahoo!: It prefers to index “Pages designed primarily for humans, with search engine considerations secondary.” Bing: Microsoft advises webmasters trying to optimize for Bing to concentrate on making sure “the site target audience is interested.”
