Yes Google needs an editor


Let us keep a vigil on this page to see when they will rectify these errors!

[MrCash]

I guess that won`t take too long to rectify for google

[RobertD]

no, it's an easy fix, but I can't beleive they published a page with an error like this...how many people work there?

[Connections]

yes you think they would have proof read the article before posting it up lol...

[Canadianbacon]

shit happens

[RobertD]

shit happens

absolutely, but for a billion dollar company I think it's unacceptable, also why has it not been fixed yet, it's not like that page was just added today.

[Markwebuk]

First time I've seen such mistake on google's page and I'm sure they will rectify it asap.

LOL, that's funny. Probably they do have an editor, who completely missed this one. :D

should he/she be fired? :)

[tomcatuk]

Just ONE editor? I reckon they could use a few more than that

[seo ranter]

its not a spelling error...I can see how someone could easily overlook that

[RobertD]

they have so much focus on paid links that they cannot put any effort into proof reading their pages for grammar mistakes! :D

[Sepehr]

should he/she be fired?
i doubt that cause it's just a simple, little mistake! and everyone makes mistakes! even GOOGLE!

[Markwebuk]

Not yet rectified.

[Teunel]

I saw a mistake on Hotmail once.. :)

[ebiztrendz.com]

how Google live up the pages with out proofread. if they write in word, even then also word gives the error of duplicate para or words.

I agree that every one do the mistakes, but its not fare, if it passes through many editors.

[vinodis]

Very nice. blogged it!

[Freewebspace]

Still not rectified

we have to report to Matt Cutts!

[Sepehr]

let's not do that! i say let's wait and see how long does it take for them to realize it! and it's not something that important so that if we don't anything happens!

[ebiztrendz.com]

thats good idea, please report to Matt Cutts!

Infact i was also thinking to report him....

[zee]

OMG! LOL! OMG :D I am actually enjoying that! Even giants like Google can make mistakes. They should keep that in mind when dealing with our websites :D

NICE IDEA!:d

[RobertD]

i doubt that cause it's just a simple, little mistake! and everyone makes mistakes! even GOOGLE!

yes, but at that level it's a pretty big mistake, and the fact that no one has realized it yet is pretty sad.

[Sepehr]

yes, but at that level it's a pretty big mistake, and the fact that no one has realized it yet is pretty sad.
i don't think it's that big but even it was i think google's mood is more friendly than strict boss and employee mood.but the fact that they haven't realized it is kinda sad!but yet it's a pretty huge site and i don't think they would check all their text to look for mistakes(after submitting!) they'll probably find it sooner or later! but again i say instead of reporting it let's wait and see how long does it take for them to realize it!

[Shonky]

This is just Google's way of keyword stuffing if you ask me. :p

[Markwebuk]

I think they are trying to highlight that sentence what do you guys think?;)

[iMarketingGuru]

lol -- Poor Google, it's hard being a perfect monopoly... =o) Let's see how long that typo goes on for -- I am putting in my bet for 3 months. Anyone want to put stuff up for the bet? I'm in...

[RobertD]

well, not sure when, but they fixed it.

[amaze]

Are we that bothered really? :)

[ablaye]

Yep. It's been fixed.

[kojakfilth]

yeah that proves that theres a staff of google spying on DP.. :D

[Ganceann]

Yep. It's been fixed.

The original duplicate pointed out has been fixed, however, there is still an error in the grammar... it should read:

You never know - google may just have left it in as link bait to pick up some link love - so they didn't lose any serps after discounting their own paid links :P
