I googled “what date is today” and the first two sites in the serp use javascript to display the current date and a friendly invitation to buy ads on the website. Javascript is client side so the current date is taken from the same computer (with the date off). I get the same date as the computer is telling me so the website does not solve my problem and I am off to another website: no time for ads and even if I click something there is a big chance that the tracking will be confused. This is a case where you get #1 in google and you just waste your website bandwidth.
