Which statement best describes evaluating blocks when a landing page link is present?

• A. Always rely on the landing page
• B. Always rely on the block content
• C. Rely on the block content when users would not click the landing page
• D. Randomly choose

Answer: (C)

When evaluating blocks with a landing page link, the immediate signal you use should reflect what the user is most likely to see or act on. If users would not click the landing page, the block content—the title and snippet shown in the results—becomes the reliable indicator of relevance. It directly represents the user's experience without requiring a click. The landing page content only matters if users are expected to click through, because then the page itself would influence the judgment. Relying on the landing page regardless or choosing randomly would misalign with how users actually interact with the results.
