Why a Privacy Policy?

Google looks for sites with privacy policies in place. Those that have it will get ranked higher than sites without such a policy. If someone was to search for me on the Internet, I would want to make it as easy as possible for them to find me. Last I checked, a few of my pages were on the first page of results which I am happy for especially since I don’t know how to do SEO optimization, and can’t afford to pay someone to do it.
